Activity itinerary

Valentia Island (Pass by)

The captain and crew are not just navigators of the sea but storytellers of the land. They bring to life the legends, history, and natural wonders of Valentia Island, making your tour a truly immersive experience.

Beginish Island (Pass by)

Discover from the water's edge, a 6th-century Monastery on Church Island, which was used by Skelligs Monks surrounded by the safety of Valentia Harbour. Then continue to learn of the Viking's invasion of the Skellig Coast who then developed a village on the neighbouring Beginish Island where ruins remain today.

Ballycarbery Castle (Pass by)

At speed admire the castle from the river of Cahersiveen to be transported back in time to when the High Kings of Ireland built their mighty castles and fought blooding battles to keep their lands.

Valentia Lighthouse (Pass by)

Following the stunning views of the majestic coastline of Beginish Island and Valentia, the Captain will then lead the tour to the white walls of Valentia Island Lighthouse. Originally a Cromwellan Fort but today a working Lighthouse, this corner of the island overlooking Dingle Bay has stories dating back to the 17th century and before. Sit and watch the waves crashing on the rocks below while listening to the stories of shipwrecks, Pirates and more.

Cable Station Terrace (Pass by)

The last part of the harbour adventure glides guests past the seaside village of Knightstown village which was once a bustling waterfront with the operation of the Transatlantic Telegraph Cable that was laid from Valentia Harbour to the shores of Newfoundland, Canada in 1866. Discover how two men came together to change the world and communication that finally put the small island of Valentia on the map forever.
