This next item on our agenda would be the absolute highlight of the day and is definitly among our top 5 things we did while in Ireland. To be honest, it technically wasn’t even on our agenda. It was added very spontanously. We knew that we wanted to do some sort of dolphin or whale-watching tour, however, since we were in Ireland in October, most of the tours headed to the Atlantic Ocean did not operate. Due to heavy storms during the winter months, most tour operators actually don’t do any tours between October and April.
However, since the weather was really nice that day, we decided to head to the harbour in Dingle, just in case. And we were lucky! Just when we arrived, there was a tour boat getting ready to leave. They had 3 spots left and so in the course of 5 minutes we were on the boat leaving the harbour.
The tour we took is called Dingle Sea Safari Rib Ride. Dingle Sea Safari is a family business and they run tours towards the Blasket Islands. The Dingle Sea Safari Rib Ride tour costs 65€ per person and takes around 2.5 – 3 hours.
