Inishkea Islands ferry

Boat trips to the Inishkea Islands run from the mainland coast of County Mayo, off the Mullet peninsula, carrying visitors to a group of uninhabited Atlantic islands. The crossing itself is part of the experience, with seabirds, seals and open ocean along the way.

The islands are known for their birdlife, including large numbers of wintering barnacle geese, and for the traces of the communities that once lived there. Sailings depend entirely on sea conditions, so confirm arrangements with the boat operator before setting out.
