My hope was to go whale watching in West Cork, but those plans were cancelled due to severe weather. Instead, my wife and I walked down to the marina and jumped on a boat to see Fungie. He showed up! It was a ton of fun, beautiful ride out, and not too many people around, save for a really annoying... More

Wasn't sure what to expect on a cold May day. The incentive of not having to pay unless we saw the dolphin was good enough to spend time viewing beautiful Dingle from the Bay. After the suspense of "is he asleep" he eventually surfaced to the joy and cheer of the children and many adults. Once we saw him or... More

Fungie the Dingle Dolphin cruise was a fun morning in Dingle. You do not pay if you do not see Fungie, so it is almost a guarantee that you will see him. Great for all ages.

Was worth the price of the ticket without seeing the dolphin, but we did see him. The views of Dingle harbor are great. It is amazing how the dolphin will come up an play around. When we went there was an individual (a dolphin whisper?) who was interacting with Fungi. It as just like something you see at Sea World,... More

My sis and I took the one-hour tour of Dingle Bay with a bunch of other tourists in hopes of getting a little glimpse of Fungie, the dolphin who took up residence in the harbor years ago. We really just expected a nice boat ride, but were just as thrilled as the French kids on the boat with us when... More

I had the chance to meet the family that operates this business at the Marina Inn the night before. They are very friendly and welcoming! The tour was exciting and Fungie was curious and hung out for a while. Thanks again Bridgett, Jill, and Jimmy! You helped make Dingle the highlight of my trip to Ireland!

It had a sheltered area to protect from the wind or rain plenty of seating outside with canopy covering over it,there also was... More

We took the Fungie tour twice in one week, it is so lovely to see Fungie up close - really beautiful, my boys were so excited to see a dolphin in the wild (and he realy is wild - the frst trip he was hard to spot because he was fishing). The crew of the boats give you some great... More
