Great Blasket Island

If you want to experience a perfect day on a remote island, go with what I would call The Great Experience of Blasket Island. Wonderful guys (thank you Billy and Chris for your kindness and all the explanations 😊), only happy few people, incredible views, riche wildlife with hundreds of seals on the beach and dolphins playing around the boat. It was one of our best ideas ever.

If you do anything in Ireland, stay on the Great Blasket Island. It's absolutely stunning and if you have nice weather like we did, you will be blown away. No electricity or hot water in the cottages but that's all part of the experience.

Amazing experience! Beautiful scenery and wildlife encounters provided by a well run experienced crew of guides. Will definitely recommend to others.

Over the June Bank holiday we got to experience the beauty of the great blasket Island in person. We lucked out with the weather . We got to see so much. Billy and Chris are so knowledgeable , we learned a great deal from them. The island is so beautiful. Such a wonderful place to explore . The views are breathtaking. We saw seals, puffins and countless dolphins🤗🤗. Book this trip now, you won't regret it.

Great crew. Welcoming kind and secure. Great journey around the Blaskets and try to trek on Great Blasket but thick cloud ... Frustration erased by seeing seals, dolphins and amazing cliffs on other islands. Thanks guys!

Absolutely so worth going here but must be a little fit for access does require some up hill climbs adds to the experience We climbed into Zodiak from a small boat in rough waters

The trip to Great Blasket island was the highlight of our Kerry tour. There is something about this place, the people, their stories and life... How and why they ended up on the island, why they had not left for so long, and what made them leave in the end. The ferry from Dunquin takes about 30 minutes. During low tide, the boats can only be approached by rafts. The scenery is breathtaking, and make sure to take the free tour with the guides, as they have a lot to say about the history and the people of the island. There is a hostel on the island (you can spend the night if you book in advance) and also a small cafe, but no other facilities. Nobody lives there no more.

This is a true natural experience for all. Take the boat from Dingle. We travelled with eco tours. Also others. 45 minutes to the island. Bring your own food. There is a café for 2 months in summertime but don’t depend on them. Drinks and a few meals. WC. Not wheelchair friendly at all. You can easily walk the island for 2-3 hours. Depending on your form. About 6k from one side to the other on the longest. You will se seals, birds and rabbits here. Also sheep and 2 mule. It’s worth the money. Especially in good weather
