Dingle Day Trip
Dates for our special Dingle Day Trip will be released throughout the season, in line with weather and sea conditions.
Travel by sea from Valentia Island marina to Dingle town marina on a shared scheduled coastal crossing that offers a relaxed and scenic alternative to the long drive around the peninsula. Designed as a point-to-point transfer rather than a tour, this service connects two of Kerry’s most iconic harbours in a simple, comfortable and memorable way.
As you make your way across the bay, settle in and take in the views, with the chance to spot dolphins, seabirds and other marine life along the way. Before long, you’ll arrive into the heart of Dingle, stepping straight from the boat onto the harbourfront.
Once in Dingle, the time is yours. Wander the colourful streets, enjoy the cafés and shops, or make the most of the town’s renowned food and drink scene. Whether it’s a relaxed lunch, a visit to a local distillery or simply soaking up the atmosphere, everything is within easy reach of the marina.
This is a special shared sailing offered on selected dates throughout the season, often timed to coincide with events in Dingle. Each crossing is planned around weather and sea conditions, with your captain confirming timings in advance to ensure a safe and comfortable journey.

EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Posted on Russell PendockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An Absolute Must-Do Experience! We had the most incredible day out with AquaTerra Boat Tours! From start to finish, Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing hosts — friendly, knowledgeable, and so passionate about the Skellig Islands and the surrounding area. The boat was extremely comfortable, spacious, and clearly very well maintained, which made the journey so enjoyable. The commentary was fantastic — informative, and full of fascinating stories about the history, wildlife, and local life. Seeing the Skellig Islands up close was absolutely breathtaking — a true highlight of our trip to Ireland. If you’re visiting this area, this tour is a must-do. You won’t find a better way to experience the beauty and magic of the Skelligs!Posted on Paula O'MeliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!Posted on LaurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tour was fantastic. The boat was comfortable and Brendan and Elizabeth were lovely. Elizabeth has clearly put a TON of work into her historical/geological/animal research and the love and care very much shows. The ride was surprisingly smooth for October. 11/10 do this.Posted on Lee HusseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing!

Une superbe excursion Des sensations sur le trajets et nous avons adoré la beauté le l île. Le capitaine et son adjointe etaient très sympa. Que du positifPosted on Miriam VennTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Die Skellig Michael Landing Tour war sehr gut organisiert und professionell durchgeführt. Tourguide und Kapitän waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt und hatten eine tolle Zeit auf der Insel sowie bei der Umrundung. Das Boot ist modern und vergleichsweise schnell. Im Unterschied zu den anderen Booten, die die Insel besucht haben, saßen wir zu jeder Zeit trocken. Wir können die Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen.Posted on Philippa BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just an incredible experience. Took part in a Skellig Michael landing tour, booked via a third party. Was extremely lucky to find myself onboard the Skellig Bounty! As others have mentioned, the boat is brand new - and frankly miles above the other boats I saw that operate on this route for the same prices. The seats were incredibly comfortable and there was space to stand out the back for better views if you wished. Elizabeth & Brendan were wonderful hosts - equal parts friendly, informative, fun yet safety-focused. At all times I felt safe, comfortable and happy during my time with them. I cannot say enough good things and would highly recommend this company. To top it all off, they even made sure we had good weather and saw a pod of dolphins on our way back....just going above and beyond....!
