On a sunny day this is an absolute must. We left Schull harbour and arrived on Cape Clear at middayt. We boarded the waiting boat to the lighthouse directly. On the way out we came across a pod of dolphins which was an added bonus and I heard you could also possible see breaching whales on some trips. The lighthouse is breathtaking and the tour gives you loads of photo taking opportunities. The water was clam but some kids did feel ill while we were at the lighthouse when the boat slowed down. After returning we spent a few hours on Cape Clear. On a sunny day this is a special place and there is a steep hill overlooking the bay that is worth the walk. Overall superb day out. One of Ireland's top attractions, forget Temple Bar and the Guinness storehouse this is the real deal. Ireland's teardrop has so much history. Just do it!

4. Schull Sea Safari
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 13 reviews
Daily Sea Safari departing from Schull and Colla Pier, offering a unique experience of West Cork and its islands from the sea. We are located in the centre of Roaring Water Bay's Special Area of Conservation and designated whale and dolphin sanctuary, and our tours will bring you up close and personal with the treasures the Atlantic Ocean has to offer you. Our proximity to the gulf stream and richness of the waters around us mean our tour allow you to experience all manner of marine life, from playful Dolphins to enormous majestic whales and many a fin and flippered creature in between (depending on if they want to come out and play). We can also offer a visit our local Seal colony where at low tide we can watch them resting on the rocks and splashing into the water to swim out to watch us. Being out at sea further offers us an unparalleled position to spot the bird life. Our tours stop at local islands Cape Clear or Sherkin Island for local refreshments and unspoiled scenery.

This is the only planetarium in the republic of Ireland. The shows held here show star constellations and stargazing tips. The planetarium is a community run operation and is well worth a visit.
