Inish Tearaght Lighthouse & Blasket Islands
Journey to Inishtearaght Lighthouse, Ireland’s and Europe’s most westerly lighthouse, standing as a solitary guardian at the edge of the Atlantic. This exclusive tour takes you deep into the heart of Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ireland’s only marine national park, where the untamed beauty of the ocean meets a rich maritime legacy.
Aboard the eco-friendly Skellig Bounty, cruise through waters teeming with life and watch for soaring seabirds, playful dolphins, and even the occasional whale breaking the surface. Passing by the Great Blasket Island, witness one of Ireland’s largest grey seal colonies as they lounge on the shore or play in the waves.
As you approach Inishtearaght, the dramatic cliffs and rugged outcrops tell a story of resilience, both of the keepers who once manned the lighthouse and of the wildlife that calls this remote sanctuary home. Through expert storytelling, uncover the lives of the lighthouse keepers who braved isolation, fierce storms, and the endless horizon in their duty to guide ships safely past Ireland’s last outpost.
As the tour draws to a close, take in one final, breath taking view of the wild Atlantic before your return journey, a moment of reflection on the stories, sights, and spirit of Ireland’s westernmost frontier.
Dates for the Inishtearaght Lighthouse Tour will be released throughout the season, in line with weather and sea conditions.

EXCELLENT Based on 155 reviews Posted on Russell PendockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An Absolute Must-Do Experience! We had the most incredible day out with AquaTerra Boat Tours! From start to finish, Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing hosts — friendly, knowledgeable, and so passionate about the Skellig Islands and the surrounding area. The boat was extremely comfortable, spacious, and clearly very well maintained, which made the journey so enjoyable. The commentary was fantastic — informative, and full of fascinating stories about the history, wildlife, and local life. Seeing the Skellig Islands up close was absolutely breathtaking — a true highlight of our trip to Ireland. If you’re visiting this area, this tour is a must-do. You won’t find a better way to experience the beauty and magic of the Skelligs!Posted on Paula O'MeliaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend!Posted on LaurenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tour was fantastic. The boat was comfortable and Brendan and Elizabeth were lovely. Elizabeth has clearly put a TON of work into her historical/geological/animal research and the love and care very much shows. The ride was surprisingly smooth for October. 11/10 do this.Posted on Lee HusseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Elizabeth and Brendan were amazing!

Une superbe excursion Des sensations sur le trajets et nous avons adoré la beauté le l île. Le capitaine et son adjointe etaient très sympa. Que du positifPosted on Miriam VennTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Die Skellig Michael Landing Tour war sehr gut organisiert und professionell durchgeführt. Tourguide und Kapitän waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit gut aufgehoben gefühlt und hatten eine tolle Zeit auf der Insel sowie bei der Umrundung. Das Boot ist modern und vergleichsweise schnell. Im Unterschied zu den anderen Booten, die die Insel besucht haben, saßen wir zu jeder Zeit trocken. Wir können die Tour uneingeschränkt empfehlen.Posted on Philippa BrennanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just an incredible experience. Took part in a Skellig Michael landing tour, booked via a third party. Was extremely lucky to find myself onboard the Skellig Bounty! As others have mentioned, the boat is brand new - and frankly miles above the other boats I saw that operate on this route for the same prices. The seats were incredibly comfortable and there was space to stand out the back for better views if you wished. Elizabeth & Brendan were wonderful hosts - equal parts friendly, informative, fun yet safety-focused. At all times I felt safe, comfortable and happy during my time with them. I cannot say enough good things and would highly recommend this company. To top it all off, they even made sure we had good weather and saw a pod of dolphins on our way back....just going above and beyond....!
