Fungie was a wonderful animal. Until 2020, he lived in Dingle Bay for almost 40 years and was so reliable in his thawing that you only had to pay on the excursion boats if you had seen Fungie. There was a whole fleet of boats and the dolphin obviously enjoyed the entertainment and reliably performed his tricks. An incredible experience. We are very grateful that we were able to experience this and even show it to our children 10 years later.
