On the way up to the top of the Conor Pass be sure to stop off at the waterfall and if you are feeling abit adventerous - then walk up the rocks by the waterfall and you will get a pleasant surprise. There is a lovely lake surrounded by mountains just a 60 second walk up the rocks and you can even climb the mountain if the mood takes you - I have climbed it myself a few times over the years.

But when all is said and done, it does not take too long to reach the top where there is a carpark so that you can exit your car and have a good look around. You can even take a stroll further up the mountain to the top if you wish from the carpark. From here you can see the whole pennisula below and you can also get a clear view of Dingle if there is not too much cloud cover and what a beautiful sight that is on a clear day.

One of Dingle's most famous inhabitants is not even human - he is Fungi the dolphin and he has been swimming around Dingle for more than ten years and if you want you can take a boat ride for a few pounds to go out and see him.

There is also Dingle Oceanworld near Dingle Harbour. In Dingle Oceanworld there are lots of tropical fish to see and two Loggerhead turtles that were washed up on the Irish coast and are currently undergoing rehabilitation and eventually they will be released back into the ocean. Perhaps the main attraction in the aquarium is The Shark Tank. Check out their website - Oceanworld website - they have five sharks - of the species sandtiger and sandbar. There are also rays in The Shark Tank.

A new piece of news that has just occured recently - 25/8/00 - "Spike" the Loggerhead turtle that was washed up on the Irish coast line two years ago and who was moved to Dingle Aquarium to be taken care of has just been released back to his home territory. The Irish Navy transported "Spike" a few hundred miles off the Irish coast and set him free back in to the ocean current so that he can swim back home.
