Dingle’s Dolphin Greeter
Dingle Bay, Circumnavigation of Ireland
As we approached Dingle Bay a resident dolphin leaped out of the waters to say hello. We learned that he was first observed by a lighthouse keeper in 1984 who, after watching him swim among the fishing boats for nearly a year, officially confirmed his residency and named him “Fungie” the Dingle dolphin. We felt so privileged that this 500-pound bottlenose charmer chose to escort our Zodiacs around the harbor as delighted passengers snapped photos of Ireland’s first aquatic friend.
