This tour offers a scenic and educational trip from Dingle Marina to the Great Blasket Island, part of Ireland’s only National Marine Park. Passengers travel on a fast ferry while enjoying views of Slea Head and the surrounding coastline. Along the way, guests may spot dolphins, whales, and seals while listening to the guide share insights about the history, folklore, and geology of Dingle Bay and the Great Blasket Island. The journey provides a combination of natural beauty and cultural education, making it an engaging experience for visitors of all ages.
Upon arrival, visitors can explore the 1100 acres of largely mountainous and unspoiled terrain. The island was evacuated in 1953 and was once home to famous Irish writers, including Peig Sayers. Guests can walk along the beaches, explore the abandoned village, and learn about the literary and cultural history of the island. Free guided tours of the old village ruins are provided by the OPW. Visitors are advised to wear good footwear as paths can be steep and unpaved and dress in weather appropriate clothing. The return ferry trip completes a full day of exploration, combining adventure, history, and stunning natural scenery on the beautiful Great Blasket Island.
