Itinerary

Schull

Schull is a small but very charming and lively village nestling between the foothills of Mount Gabriel and Schull Harbour. Join this tour from Schull harbour with a crossing on the ferry through the beautiful waters of Roaring Water Bay

Roaringwater Bay

Roaringwater Bay, also known as Carbery 100 Isles, and includes the islands of Cape Clear, Sherkin, Heir and Long Island which enjoy a vibrant community life all year round. This bay contains various terrestrial and marine habitats. Five of these habitats are protected because of their importance at a European level.

The Island is 8 miles by ferry from the mainland and is the nearest inhabited area to the famous Fastnet Rock Lighthouse. It is three and a half miles long by one and a half miles wide and has a permanent Irish speaking population of 130 which increases significantly during the summer months.

On the ferry the captain will show you the real Wild Atlantic Way! You might even catch a glimpse of the magnificent whales and dolphins en-route to the island and the lighthouse.
