We took two seperate boat trips to different things and saw him both times. It's pretty amazing that he has lived in the Bay for so long. A must do! More

Travelling to Dingle from Cork last weekend for a hen party. We arrived to find the boat decorated for The Hen and a bottle of champers waiting for us! We spent an hour on the boat and got to see the amazing Fungie. Every single girl (there were 19 of us) had such a great time and I will be... More

Lovely sunny day in Dingle, boat trip out into the bay and Fungie doing a merry dance for us..What more could you ask for. I had the best time with wonderful pictures taken. After a while I just put the camera away and watched her jump and play. Miss this at your pearl! More

It was amazing to see a wild dolphin interacting with the people on the boat! The driver and lady spotting were both friendly and knowledgable. There was a real buzz on the boat with everyone scanning the horizon on the look out for Fungie! We didn't need to wait long to see him and he really seemed to love swimming... More

You have to take the boat ride to see the dolphin! We cruised around the bay for a bit and finally found Fungie and it came out to play with our boat. I don't know how the captain does it! They also gaurantee a dolphin sighting or your money back, fyi. Had a great time! Plus you see beautiful views... More

Went out on the bay with storms all around but boat's crew very attentive and careful. We spotted Fungie many times but he just didn't want to play that day. The crew wouldn't let us pay because they didn't think it was a good enough experience. I thought it was fun. We tipped them anyway. More

This trip is a must when in Dingle, I've been twice and both times Fungie swam right beside the boat. This time was even better than the first as he jumped high out of the water on a few occassions. The people that run this trip are just fabulous from the lady in the office to the guys on the... More

In the two and half days we were in Dingle and many minutes spent scanning the bay (including with binoculars) Fungie didn't show. Our bad luck or has she gone? More
