Private Atlantic Cruise Explores Marine Wildlife and the Rugged Beauty of Inishturk


A private boat excursion along the Atlantic coast of Connemara is offering visitors an opportunity to explore Ireland’s western seas while searching for some of the region’s most remarkable marine wildlife. Travelling through the waters of the Wild Atlantic Way, the cruise provides chances to spot dolphins, porpoises, whales, and colonies of seals, with occasional sightings of basking sharks, sunfish, and sea otters.


Before reaching the island destination, participants can enjoy recreational sea fishing under the guidance of the crew, adding an interactive element to the coastal voyage. The journey itself showcases the dramatic Atlantic scenery that has made Connemara one of Ireland’s premier destinations for nature and wildlife enthusiasts.


The cruise continues to Inishturk, a remote island distinguished by its steep hills, towering sea cliffs, and unspoilt landscapes. Visitors have the opportunity to explore the ruins of a historic signal tower positioned high above the coastline, where sweeping panoramic views extend across the Atlantic Ocean and neighbouring islands.


For those wishing to experience more of the island’s natural beauty, a guided three-hour walk explores cliff-top habitats renowned for seabird populations and spectacular coastal scenery. The day concludes with a light lunch overlooking Inishturk’s peaceful harbour, providing a relaxing finish to an excursion that combines wildlife encounters, island heritage, and the rugged beauty of Ireland’s west coast.

Awesome trip with Damien….he is an excellent, enthusiastic tour guide (with the help of his adorable dog Max). We learned the history of the villages and islands while enjoying beautiful scenery from his comfortable boat. But clearly the highlight is going ashore on a small island to visit and feed the sheep and donkeys. A must-do in Connemara!!!

I booked the boat tour and island picnic experience as a birthday gift for my fiancé, and what a find it turned out to be! Damien, who operates the tour, couldn’t have been more accommodating. From the seamless online booking to his prompt and friendly communication on Instagram. No question or request was ever an issue, and his easy going nature really set the tone for the day. We were even able to add a sauna session for the morning, which has incredible views of Roundstone Bay, which made for a brilliant start and we had it to ourselves. The boat trip aboard Benbaun was fantastic. Damien shared fascinating local knowledge, helped us try our hand at crab fishing, and his first mate, Max the dog, was an added bonus. The picnic on Inishlacken was a highlight: fresh food, a chilled bottle of prosecco, and the surreal feeling of having an entire island to ourselves. Exploring the stone ruins, walking the beach (which looked like something from the Mediterranean), and even meeting Damien’s friendly donkeys made it truly unforgettable. We were lucky with a glorious blue sky day, however, this hidden gem in the west of Ireland is an experience worth doing in almost any weather. Highly recommended.

If you are ever visiting Roundstone or Connemara I highly reccomended taking the Roundstone Bay & Island tour! Granny,Mammy and the 3 boys (6,4 & 2) had a fantastic time! We took the Eco tour and Damien the guide was very knowledgeable about the local history and was great with the boys! Between pulling up a lobster pot, visits to the Donkeys on the island, a little bit of fishing and even getting to be captain of the boat for a bit the boys said it was the best day ever!! We have been holidaying in Roundstone for decades but this was one of the best things we have ever done. We are going to make it an annual outing!
