About this activity

This tour combines a 4 hr. dolphin and whale watching tour with a 3 hr. stop-over on the Great Blasket island. Your day is divided between a 1 hr. sea journey; 3 hrs. on Great Blasket Island and then 3 hrs. eco marine tour around some of the outer islands, dolphin, bird and whale watching (hopefully). Sightings can never be guaranteed (!) but if the weather is fine and the sea is relatively calm, we guarantee that you will enjoy the wonderful landscapes, seascapes and varied marine wildlife around the Blasket islands archipelago and Dingle Bay.
