Overview

Set off on an unforgettable journey from Dingle Bay to the legendary Great Blasket Islands, tracing the dramatic Slea Head coastline. This 2.5 to 3-hour boat tour offers a rare glimpse into one of Ireland’s most remote and culturally rich landscapes. Once inhabited by a resilient Irish-speaking community, the islands now stand as hauntingly beautiful reminders of a bygone era. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to spot dolphins, whales, seals, and puffins in their natural habitat. With a knowledgeable local guide on board, you’ll gain fascinating insight into the region’s history, wildlife, and folklore—making this a truly immersive experience in the wild heart of County Kerry.

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.

  • Service animals allowed
