Following the stunning views of the majestic coastline of Beginish Island and Valentia, the Captain will then lead the tour to the white walls of Valentia Island Lighthouse.
Originally a Cromwellan Fort but today a working Lighthouse, this corner of the island overlooking Dingle Bay has stories dating back to the 17th century and before. Sit and watch the waves crashing on the rocks below while listening to the stories of shipwrecks, Pirates and more.
