This is a fun and interesting trip out around the lighthouse, with a stop at Clear. Just a nice relaxing way to spend a day.

Brilliant day!. Don’t miss the opportunity to see the beautiful island and interact with the friendly locals. Traveling from Cape Clear to Fastnet Rock was gorgeous and we saw dolphins!!! The skipper circles Fastnet twice so both sides of the boat get a good view. The history of the lighthouse was fascinating- thanks to the guide for giving us great information. The crew on the ferry were friendly and efficient- serving a variety of snacks. TIP: arrive to the dock early if you are picky about your seat or have a group.
