ABOUT US
Mission & Vision
Since 2018, Dingle Sea Safari has connected travelers with the wild beauty of Ireland’s Atlantic coast through safe, eco-conscious RIB adventures. We aim for every guest to leave with a deeper respect for marine life and a commitment to conservation.

About Us
Operating from Dingle Pier, our family-run business offers guided sea safaris, private charters, and VIP tours. Over 2.5–3 hours, guests explore sea caves, Star Wars sites, and the Blasket Islands, encountering dolphins, whales, seals, and more—guided by local captains with deep maritime knowledge. We’re proud to be ambassadors for Dingle Bay’s natural heritage

OUR IMPACT
Dingle Sea Safari is a family-run business established in 2018 by Jimmy Flannery. We prioritize fair pay, safety, and small-group tours capped at 12 guests to ensure personal service and minimal impact on wildlife. Our local crew, with deep roots in traditional fishing families, helps preserve maritime heritage by sharing stories and history through school visits and guided tours of the Blasket Islands and coastal landmarks.

As part of the CE4RT initiative, we actively adopt regenerative practices to protect the Dingle Peninsula. Our modern, fuel-efficient RIBs reduce noise and emissions while avoiding sensitive wildlife areas. Captains receive ongoing marine ecology training, and we organize monthly beach cleanups to keep the coastline healthy.

Education is central to our tours. Expert skippers provide in-depth commentary on marine life, conservation, and local ecology, fostering a deeper understanding and respect for the environment. To date, we’ve delivered over 5,000 hours of guided interpretation, helping guests connect meaningfully with the natural world.
