Ahoy Matey!

A great 45 minute tour of nearby waters and Ireland’s Eye. The puffins had left already for the Atlantic but did see some lovely sea birds and seals. Some interesting history and facts about the area. Friendly skipper.

Disappointing

We were very disappointed with this tour. The “guide” never even spoke to us nor did a safety talk. The seas were very rough and there was no way to know where the lifejackets were if an emergency occurred. It was hard to see from the boat if you were sitting in most spots. The “guide” started a taped brief informational description of the eye once the boat got to the island. Then we turned around, headed back and got off. Disappointing.
