Great Blasket Island Wildlife Tour with Island Landing｜Ireland

Experience the outstanding natural beauty of the Dingle Peninsula on the ultimate RIB experience, touring Dingle Harbour, along the beautiful Wild Atlantic Way coastline out to the Great Blasket Island.

Stopping in many caves and coves, exploring rock formations and the geology and history of the area all while keeping an eye for any wildlife encounters, such as basking sharks, whales, dolphins, seals and an abundance of sea birds en route.

Landing on the Great Blasket Island for approximately 3.5 hours, visitors have free time to explore the natural beauty of a once inhabited island, showcasing panoramic views of the Iveragh and Dingle Peninsula. The OPW guides offer free guided history tours of the abandoned village and a fascinating insight into the Islanders’ lives and their way of living. A truly unique place, steeped in Irish history, culture, language and heritage.

Visitors can explore the Tra ban or the White Strand on the Great Blasket Island where one of the largest grey seal colonies on the West Atlantic Coast resides or else take the loop walk along the grassy tracks and trails.

On the return leg, we tour further out to the surrounding Islands exploring the Cathedral Rocks on Inis na Bro, the beautiful puffins on Inis Vickillane (seasonal) and take a wide arch out the bay to a place called the Wild Bank covering deep sea ground where whales, dolphins, porpoises, and an abundance of sea birds are likely to fish.
