The Valentia Island Experience

Wave Heading Separator

Set sail on a journey through time and tide. Valentia Island is a hidden gem on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, where history, heritage, and adventure unfold against a breathtaking coastal backdrop.

Glide across the sheltered waters of Valentia Harbour, once a Viking stronghold and a refuge for monks seeking solitude. Follow the route of the transatlantic telegraph cable, where the first successful connection between Europe and North America forever changed global communication.

Towering cliffs rise from the sea, shaped by centuries of wind and waves. Secluded coves whisper secrets of ancient mariners and high kings. A resident seal colony basks on the rocks while gannets plunge effortlessly into the Atlantic. Dolphins often weave through the surf of the harbour’s entrance, their playful energy adding to the magic of the journey. When the season is right, a basking shark may glide silently beneath the surface, a gentle giant in these storied waters.

This is an exclusive chance to explore Ireland’s timeless waters in comfort and style. Every moment is designed to be as unforgettable as the landscape itself.
