Tour Fastnet Rock Lighthouse y Cape Clear Island con salida desde Baltimore. West Cork.
Descripción
Después de que su ferry cruce las 100 islas de Carbery, llegue a Cape Clear Island, pase algo de tiempo libre explorando esta isla Gaeltacht, aprendiendo sobre la cultura de la isla, la vida isleña, incluidas las antiguas tradiciones y la agricultura tradicional. Descubra los antiguos monolitos de la isla, la Torre Napoleónica, el castillo de Dún an Óir, la iglesia del siglo XII y visite el monumento en la isla al desastre de la carrera de yates Fastnet de 1979. Vea el faro de Fastnet Rock a lo lejos en una de las pruebas a pie o disfrute de un almuerzo en uno de los bares y restaurantes de la isla. Después del almuerzo, vuelva a abordar el ferry que viaja para ver el faro. ¡Eche un vistazo a las magníficas ballenas y delfines en el camino! Circunnavegamos 'An Carraig Aonair' o 'Lonely Rock' asimilando su historia y cultura. Una vez que hemos dado dos vueltas al Peñón, para conseguir la foto perfecta, nos dirigimos a casa disfrutando del espectacular paisaje hasta llegar a nuestro puerto final.

Itinerario
Únase a este recorrido desde el puerto de Baltimore, con un cruce en ferry a través de las hermosas aguas de Roaring Water Bay
La baliza de Baltimore es una baliza de piedra pintada de blanco a la entrada del puerto de Baltimore, condado de Cork, Irlanda. La baliza fue construida por orden del gobierno británico tras la rebelión de 1798. Formaba parte de una serie de faros y balizas esparcidas por la costa irlandesa, formando un sistema de alerta. ¡Los lugareños lo llaman la esposa de Lot con un guiño a una figura bíblica que se solidificó en una columna de sal!
Cape Clear Island está situada frente a la costa de West Cork en el Wild Atlantic Way. La isla está a 13 km en ferry desde el continente y es la zona habitada más cercana al famoso faro de Fastnet Rock. Tiene tres millas y media de largo por una milla y media de ancho y tiene una población permanente de habla irlandesa de 130 que aumenta significativamente durante los meses de verano.
Después del almuerzo en la isla Cape Clear, vuelva a abordar el ferry y viaje al faro Fastnet. Después de haber dado la vuelta al Peñón dos veces, en diferentes direcciones, para que todos los pasajeros puedan obtener la foto perfecta, nos dirigimos a casa disfrutando del espectacular paisaje hasta llegar a nuestro puerto final.
¡En el ferry, el capitán le mostrará el verdadero Wild Atlantic Way! Incluso puede echar un vistazo a las magníficas ballenas y delfines en ruta hacia la isla y el faro.

Excellent experience and amazing trip. Highly recommend taking this trip from Baltimore in west Cork.
An outstanding trip including a stop on the lovely Island and then a tour around the Fastnet.The marvellous crew even managed to arrange lovely weather despite the dire forecast. The close up contact with the Fastnet (albeit only from the boat!) for our group from the Association of Lighthouse Keepers was probably the highlight of our West Cork Expedition. The Crew couldn't have been more helpful and fun too. A magnificent day for us all.
I got notice that the tour was cancelled! Then I got the tickets! Viator tours are all around the map - lots of cancellations last minute and some quality guides (had a fab one in London in 2024 and a fab one in Panama that year for birdwatching) but some terrible (also Panama City) and lots of cancellations in Ireland
Hi Maureen yes, unfortunately we had to cancel the cruise because of the storm that came in, which made it unpleasant and unsafe to go out to go to sea. We always want to deliver an amazing experience for our customers. Unfortunately we cant control the weather! Hope to host you again in Ireland soon.
One of the best tours we have done. We got great pictures of an engineering wonder. It was awesome inspiring to look at the raised beauty. The crew was great and took our picture with fastnet in the background
Went out to the fastnet lighthouse on Cape Clear ferry from Schull to view up a close up of the Fastnet Lighthouse. The captain Brendan was talking about the islands and sea life on the way to the lighthouse. On arrival at the Fastnet Brendan gave a detailed lesson and how this magnificent lighthouse was built, and other facts There was plenty of time to take photos before heading back. On our way back we saw a pod of dolphins jumping around very near the ferry. This trip is a must see for anyone interested in lighthouses,and the sea. My thanks to Brendan and crew of Baltimore Ferries. Many thanks. Paul Hegarty.
A group of us spanning 3 generations of family went on the Direct Fastnet tour from Baltimore. It was the most amazing, perfect experience. The crew are a joy, down to earth and very helpful. Large, new boat with a bar serving snacks and drinks. Loved the history lesson about the lighthouse while getting to see it up close. On the way back we saw Fin whales and dolphins. The boat crew diverted our return so we could watch the most stunning display of these creatures. Just the most perfect day from start to finish. Highly recommend
Excellent experience but incorrect tickets were issued which compromised the event. Crew and island opportunities were magnificent, but tickets given for a shorter trip-lighthouse viewing paid for but tickets did not include.
Fantastic tour! We had enough time on Cape Clear to gave a driver show us the island. Seeing Fastnet Lighthouse was an awesome experience. Our boat circled it several times so we could really see and get fantastic pictures. The staff was friendly and very helpful.
Thanks you for this 5* review! It is an amazing bucket list experience to see the lighthouse and explore this Irish speaking island en-route. Thank you for joining us.
I travelled with my wife the tour having been suggested by Trish from Cork harbour cruises who gave us the contact numbers. The trip was fantastic the views amazing and boat great fun to be in on the open sea. We stopped over on Cape Clear for a few hours on the journey back and enjoyed the walks and had lunch. It was a perfect day and we would recommend it for any group adults and children.
Just a glorious and exciting day out. We were very fortunate with the weather (Ireland Wild Escapes' Cathy had kindly messaged to postpone for two days as our first date's forecast was somewhat "iffy") and, on the way out, enjoyed a relaxed half-way, 2 hour stop to explore some of Cape Clear Island's features. The icing on the cake, though, was a long enough stop, circling really close to Fastnet Rock Lighthouse whilst listening to a very detailed and interesting commentary. The operator, Cape Clear Ferries, was totally professional and helpful, with polite, friendly staff and well-kept boats, especially the larger, faster one out to Fastnet.
Thank you Rod for taking the time to write this great review! Delighted you got to experience this unique tour to Cape Clear Island and then onto Fastnet!
