Inish Tearaght Lighthouse & Blasket Islands
Dates for our special inish tearaght tour will be released throughout the season, in line with weather and sea conditions.
Join our Inishtearaght Lighthouse tour and journey to Ireland’s and Europe’s most westerly lighthouse. Stand at the edge of the Atlantic where this solitary guardian meets the untamed ocean. This shared voyage takes you deep into the heart of Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, revealing a powerful maritime legacy.
Aboard the Skellig Bounty, cruise through waters rich with life and keep watch for seabirds, dolphins and, on occasion, whales. Passing the Great Blasket Island, you may also see one of Ireland’s largest grey seal colonies resting on the shore or moving through the water.
As you approach Inishtearaght, the dramatic cliffs and rugged outcrops tell a story of resilience, both of the keepers who once lived here and of the wildlife that now calls this remote place home. Through storytelling on board, you’ll uncover the lives of the lighthouse keepers who endured isolation, fierce storms and the vast Atlantic in their duty to guide ships safely past Ireland’s western edge.
This is a special shared sailing offered on selected dates throughout the season. Each voyage is planned around weather and sea conditions, and your captain will confirm timings in advance to ensure a safe and comfortable journey

EXCELLENT Based on 176 reviews Posted on Google Rohan BaudinetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We travelled with AquaTerra to the Skellig Islands and had an amazing time. Their team were fun, patient and knowledgeable. Their Vessel was comfortable, warm and dry. While the sea state was a little choppy the team were vigilant and sympathetic of those feeling a little sea sick. Highly recommend. 10/10 experiencePosted on Google Liz O'SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I had the pleasure of taking a landing tour to Skellig Michael with Elizabeth and Brendan. We couldn't have hoped for a more professional experience; from the immaculate boat, the level of local knowledge and stories shared with us, to the sense of safety at all times. I can't wait to return to Valentia and take an island tour or wildlife tour with them again soon!Posted on Google Deepika SharmaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience visiting Skellig Michael island with Aqua Terra. It was every bit as magical as we hoped. Just wish we got had time on the island!Posted on Google O GTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic tour everything was very well organised. We didn’t get out onto the island due to the conditions but had the option to change to a boat tour and receive a partial refund. This was communicated quickly and clearly. We will book again and hopefully get to landPosted on Google Bruna FavorettoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing experience. They are very professional and reliable. Due to weather conditions, there was a chance the tour could be cancelled. The team was transparent and reactive the whole time, until the final decision was done by OPW. They are very knowledgeable and take good care of you Highly recommendPosted on Google Carlijn van GriensvenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, despite relatively rough weather conditions. Clear safety instructions, some wonderful stories in between. Had a great time!Posted on Google Malcolm WeeksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service, very friendly crew that are extremely knowledgeable and professional!Posted on Google Jennie McManusTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Skellig Landing was the most incredible experience - we loved touring around the islands, exploring the monastery and seeing puffins and gannets up close. Elizabeth and Brendan were wonderful guides and made us feel very safe as they expertly navigated the choppy waters. They also provided some great stories and recommendations of local highlights. The boat was very comfortable, warm and dry, which was a huge bonus considering most of the other boats we saw were open and the passengers got soaked. I couldn't recommend this tour more - it was the trip of a lifetime!Posted on Google Nick & KarenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience, we were very fortunate to have blue skies and great weather. Brendan and Elizabeth were fantastic hosts and very knowledgeable. The boat was more than capable and extremely comfortable. The audio guide was filled with information which added to the experience. Now the views - WOW - photos don't do the island justice. Must see experience. Thanks to AquaTerra for your care and expertise.Posted on Google Hanna HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Skellig Michael Landing Tour was an absolute highlight of our holiday!!! Elizabeth and Brendan were absolutely fantastic. They gave us lots of information, were very helpful and took us safely to the island and back. Unfortunately, our first tour booking had to be cancelled due to the weather. However, we were immediately offered alternatives or a refund. Communication was straightforward and easy, so we were able to enjoy our tour two days later in beautiful sunny weather. We would book the tour again anytime ☀️
