Customer Reviews
Went in July with a friend and had the wonderful Claire as our tour guide. It’s a great tour, really interesting, lovely boat ride and we even got to sail around the other side of the island in search of seals. Claire is a wonderful storyteller and I found the history of the lighthouse fascinating. I would highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Ballycotton.
Fantastic tour, full of history and beauty, even in the fog! We missed out on the spectacular views from the top but we found the sheep, saw lots of seals and learned so much. This is a great time. Thank you!
Our tour got rescheduled over the weather, which was for the best as we had a beautiful day on the bank holiday Monday. We were met by our guide John, who helped with safety jackets for the boat trip and gave us some history on the way as well as offering to take group photos. The journey across is short, with beautiful views. Once on the island, we were given more details about the island itself and how the lighthouse came to be. It is a steep climb to the top of the hill, but the stop offs with more information from John make it a lot easier. We were shown the old houses where the keepers would live, the helipad and goats before making our way to the top of the lighthouse itself. The views are spectacular, looking back across to Ballycotton, Garryvoe and beyond. For the journey back, the boat took the longer route so we got to see the rarely seen back of the island, and the solar panels which help power the lighthouse. Cannot recommend the tour enough, John was full of knowledge and made it a fun visit also. Highly recommended!
