What To Expect
Join us on this 2.5 to 3 hour boat tour from Dingle Bay to the Great Blasket Islands along the magnificent Slea-Head coastline. Tucked away off the rugged coast of County Kerry in Ireland, the Blasket Islands feel like something out of a myth. Once home to a small but fiercely independent Irish-speaking population, the island was abandoned in 1953 but its cultural legacy endures. Breathe in the salt air and truly feel the heartbeat of Ireland’s untamed soul. You will also have every chance of seeing marine wildlife such as dolphins, whales, seals and puffins. Each tour has a guide to provide you with all the information on local landmarks, marine wildlife and the history of the Great Blasket Islands and the surrounding locality.
Please remember this can never be guaranteed as we cannot (and would not want to) control the wonders of nature.
