Bull Rock high speed 3 hour boat trip leaving Travara near Eyeries to see the animal rocks, Calf, Cow and Bull off Dursey Island. Also pass through Dursey sound under the cable car. As one satisfied customer put it, 'more fun than Disney World' Thousands of sea birds, gannets, puffins, kittywakes, and we often see seals and dolphins

See the lighthouses of Beara, like Bull Rock above  on an 8 day Southern Irish Lighthouse Tour of the best of the lighthouses along the south coast of Ireland, starting with Inisheer in the Aran Islands and working east along the Wild Atlantic Way to the mighty Hook Head.

Threading the eye of any needle isn't easy, and going through the Bull is the same. It cannot happen everyday of the year due to the weather conditions. The Bull is off the south west coast of Beara, out there in the Atlantic. We don't take chances, we go when it's safe to do so, and when we go it is great fun. We shoot through the tunnel, and believe you will love it
