Junte-se a este passeio do porto de Baltimore, com uma travessia de balsa pelas belas águas de Roaring Water Bay
O Baltimore Beacon é um farol de pedra pintado de branco na entrada do porto de Baltimore, County Cork, Irlanda. O farol foi construído por ordem do governo britânico após a Rebelião de 1798. Fazia parte de uma série de faróis e faróis espalhados pela costa irlandesa, formando um sistema de alerta. Os locais o chamam de Lot's Wife com uma piscadela em homenagem a uma figura bíblica que se solidificou em uma estátua de sal!
Cape Clear Island está situado ao largo da costa de West Cork no Wild Atlantic Way. A ilha fica a 8 milhas de balsa do continente e é a área habitada mais próxima do famoso Fastnet Rock Lighthouse. Tem três milhas e meia de comprimento por uma milha e meia de largura e tem uma população permanente de língua irlandesa de 130 que aumenta significativamente durante os meses de verão.
Após o almoço na ilha de Cape Clear, embarque na balsa e viaje para Fastnet Lighthouse. Depois de termos circulado a Rocha duas vezes, em direções diferentes, para que todos os passageiros possam tirar a foto perfeita, seguimos para casa apreciando a paisagem espetacular até chegarmos ao nosso porto final
Na balsa, o capitão mostrará o verdadeiro Caminho do Atlântico Selvagem! Você pode até vislumbrar as magníficas baleias e golfinhos a caminho da ilha e do farol.

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!
