Itinerario
Partecipa a questo tour dal porto di Baltimora, con una traversata in traghetto attraverso le splendide acque della Roaring Water Bay
Il Baltimore Beacon è un faro in pietra dipinto di bianco all'ingresso del porto di Baltimora, nella contea di Cork, in Irlanda. Il faro fu costruito per ordine del governo britannico dopo la ribellione del 1798. Faceva parte di una serie di fari e fari disseminati lungo la costa irlandese, formando un sistema di allarme. La gente del posto lo chiama la moglie di Lot strizzando l'occhio a una figura biblica che si è solidificata in una statua di sale!
Cape Clear Island si trova al largo della costa del West Cork sulla Wild Atlantic Way. L'isola si trova a 8 miglia di traghetto dalla terraferma ed è l'area abitata più vicina al famoso faro di Fastnet Rock. È lungo tre miglia e mezzo e largo un miglio e mezzo e ha una popolazione permanente di 130 persone di lingua irlandese che aumenta significativamente durante i mesi estivi.
Dopo pranzo sull'isola di Cape Clear, sali a bordo del traghetto e raggiungi il faro di Fastnet. Dopo aver fatto il giro della roccia due volte, in direzioni diverse, in modo che tutti i passeggeri possano ottenere la foto perfetta, ci dirigiamo verso casa godendoci lo spettacolare scenario fino a raggiungere il nostro porto finale
Sul traghetto il capitano ti mostrerà la vera Wild Atlantic Way! Potresti anche intravedere le magnifiche balene e delfini in rotta verso l'isola e il faro.

Marketed as a whale-watching, wildlife tour, it is in fact simply three ferry trips which can be purchased direct from the same ferry company (Cap Clear Ferries) for £82 instead of the £132 I paid to Viator. To be clear - I paid 60% more for exactly the same experience. No commentary, no guidance, no experts. Viator and the middle-man operator refused to make any refund of the difference. Cynical scam.
Not recommended, both in terms of price and the experience in general.
Hi Monica. We cant guarantee whale sigthings, but there is a chance to see marine wildlife on this cruise out to this amazing lighthouse. It is a pity you didnt think seeing this unique Fastnet lighhouse searing up in the middle of the ocean off the Cork coastline, was not impressive? all our other clients do!
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.
