Boat Trips to Inishkea Islands

Explore the Abandoned Inishkea Islands with Blacksod Sea Safari’s Boat Trips

Amongst Irelands most hidden gems, the remote Inishkea Islands off the west coast of the Mullet Peninsula make for a truly amazing day out. These abandoned outcrops are home to sandy dunes, fertile grassy machair, long silver strands and incredibly clear turquoise waters.

• Take a short 35-minute trip across the waves aboard the charter boat “Huntress” and enjoy an afternoon on Inishkea Islands.
• Have a picnic on the beach, walk the abandoned ruins of the village or hike to the signal tower at the highest point and take in the incredible views of the mainland.
• Watch the wildlife, which includes a thriving seal colony and a wide range of waders and seabirds.
• Learn the islands’ fascinating history and how Inishkea was once a thriving community until tragedy struck and forced their evacuation.

With no distractions on the islands to hurry you and nowhere to be, the Inishkea Islands Experience is the ultimate in stepping back in time and the perfect family day out! The Inishkea Islands Boat Tour is an enjoyable 35-minute boat journey followed by 4 hours to spend on the islands. Departing daily during the season from Blacksod Pier.
