Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 521 reviews
The Great Blasket Island – the most westerly point in Europe – is the largest Island of an archipelago of islands located 3 miles off the tip of the Dingle Peninsula. The Great Blasket once had a thriving population of inhabitants but in January of 1954 the remaining O'Sullivan family abandoned the Island due to a child contracting meningitis and dying. Many stories and literature have been famously published since this time generating a new found interest in this special area. Since 1954 the Great Blasket Island has been derelict with only visitors coming to a from the Island. In the past few years a number of the houses have been restored and amenities such as overnight accommodation and coffee shop are provided for visitors to the island.

This deserted island is stunningly beautiful but thee less.Story has it , that a poster of a tree hung on the wall of the school (which was open from 1864 to 1941) for the information of pupils who had never seen one in real life. The island's claim to fame is it's literary history ,it had remarkable literary output including Tomas Ó Criomhthain's An t-Oileanach and Muiris O' Súilleabháin's Fiche Blian ag Fás and of course Peig Sayer's autobiography Peig.

A scenic stretch of land surrounded by rugged coastline.
Reviewed By MartletwyOnTour - Wales, United Kingdom
Talk about 'WOW'! The drive up heading north/south was steady and pleasant and then we got to the pass itself which is indeed narrow and right on the cliff edge! My friend who was driving loved it and the challenge - I just looked right away from the sheer drop alongside us! Completely worth it though of course because as soon as we reached the car park at the summit of the road path, the views back across the valley were quite simply breathtaking! Then a pleasantly steady descent down into Dingle to steady the nerves!!

First, you need to book this well in advance. They only allow so many visitors per day. I won't comment on the tour companies because I only have experience with one (and it was good). Some days the weather is too rough to land boats. Because the trips are booked full weeks in advance, you can't reschdue for another day. That being said, if you get a reservation, and if the weather cooperates, this is well worth the trip. There are a lot of steps, so being in decent shape helps, but I wouldn't call it trecherous by any means. There are plenty of videos that give a good idea of what to expect. Watch them and take that into consideration if you have young children or folks who particularly don't like heights, or jumping on and off a rolling deck, into consideration. IMHO the trip is well worth it.

The centre is staffed by knowledgable and friendly people. The birds are well-kept and in great condition. Toilets (importantly!) also clean. There's a shop with a good collection and also a farm shop with local produce. The bird show is informative and the staff clearly engaged very much in conservation: staff are also very much on hand and welcome questions. In the show we saw, volunteers were allowed to have a hawk fly to their fist which was done as part of the show very well indeed. We loved it, and I am certain fellow visitors did too. It was lovely to see handlers so clearly interested in conservation and bird welfare. Very well done.

Spectacular views on this walk. Truly amazing and well-worth taking a few hours out of your day to go on it. It is not too difficult but good walking runners or boots are definitely a must. There are quite a lot of boggy areas (even in dry weather) to cross over. This is definitely a must if in Doolin or nearby.
