Description

Come sailing on the Atlantic Ocean on this private sea boat cruise on the western seas off the Connemara coast, in search of sightings of the wonderful marine wildlife of the area, which can includes whales, dolphins, porpoises, several seal colonies and the occasional family of sea otters.Perhaps even a glimpse of the mighty basking shark and the 500lb sunfish!

Why not try a bit of fishing en-route as you travel to the small, beautiful and scenic island of Inishturk, which rises boldly from the wild North Atlantic in wall-like cliffs to the northwest and steep hills to the north.Here stand the ruins of the old signal tower, 722 feet above sea level.

Those who wish can join the knowledgeable local guide for a 3-hour walk to the cliffs to do some amazing island bird watching.The number of species here will fascinate and compliment any bird watching enthusiast's wish list!

A delicious light lunch will be provided on the island restaurant overlooking the harbour.
