Walking, hiking, swimming, painting, photography, bird watching, whale watching, relaxing....
The Great Blasket Island is a walker's paradise and the perfect day trip while visiting County Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula.
Walk the unique system of unfenced green roads - grassy tracks previously used by the Blasket islanders and these days kept trimmed by the island's sheep, rabbits and hares.
Take a stroll down to An Trá Bán ( White Strand), the pristine island beach, and take a dip in the refreshing Atlantic waves.
Visit Seal Cove and spend some time watching the large colony of Grey Seals fishing or relaxing on the rocks.
Take a longer hike around the back of the island where you can enjoy amazing views over the other islands of the archipelago, amongst them Inis Tuascairt and remote, cone-shaped Tearacht.
Take a hike up to the 'Cro', the island's highest point at 292m - the perfect spot for a picnic
Sit down at the southern end of the island and take out your binoculars for some dolphin and whale watching, with Common and Bottlenose Dolphins, Porpoises and Minke Whales being regular visitors to these waters, as well as gigantic Basking Sharks filter-feeeding around the rocks here.
Don't forget to look out for the amazing amount of birdlife surrounding the island, including diving Gannets and playful Choughs. You might even catch a glimpse of a White-tailed Eagle - they've recently been reintroduced to the Kerry mountains.
