Fastnet Rock Lighthouse & Cape Clear Island Tour from Schull West Cork
Duration
6 hours
Overview
-
After your ferry crossing passing Carbery’s 100 Isles, arrive at Cape Clear Island. Take the shuttle bus to Cape Clear Heritage Centre to explore the history of the Island and the interactive Fastnet Display. Spend some free time exploring this Gaeltacht Island, learning about the island’s culture, the islander life, including old traditions and traditional farming. Discover the island’s ancient standing stones, Napoleonic Tower, Dún an Óir Castle and 12th century church. See the Fastnet Rock Lighthouse in the distance on one of the walking trials or enjoy lunch at one of the island’s bars and restaurants.
After lunch re-board the ferry travelling to see the lighthouse. Catch a glimpse of the magnificent whales and dolphins en route! We circumnavigate ‘An Carraig Aonair` or the ‘Lonely Rock’ taking in its history and culture. Once we have circled the Rock twice, to get the perfect photo, we head for home enjoying the spectacular scenery until we reach our final port.
