Blasket Island Marine Eco Tour

Take a 3-hour boat trip to the Great Blasket Island, one of the seven islands of the gorgeous archipielago of Blasket Islands and enjoy the spectacular rock formations while you search the horizon for seals, puffins and shearwaters. At open sea, search the horizon for a chance to see dolphins, minke whales, basking sharks or other species, including humpback whales occasionally!

This Tour departs from Ventry Harbour every day at 1pm.

• Discover the Great Blasket Island and travel outward to enjoy spectacular rock formations. 
• Learn about the local, abundant marine wildlife from your Tour Guide and from your skipper, Captain Sheeran aka Captain Whales Galore.
• Enjoy the view of the old, deserted village of Trá Bán from sea.

Our priority on this trip is to show our passengers the marine ecosystems & habitats of the extensive bird life around the Blaskets (including the always popular puffins), but also of other marine mammals and fish, depending on the season.

Our Marine Biologist and Wildlife Tour Guide on board will put their best foot forward to spot marine wildlife and to provide meaningful information on each sighting.
