Reviews
"A very special day spent on Scattery Easter Monday in the good company of guide Pius Murray Pilgrim Paths Ireland. Starting with great welcome at the Marina arrival point with the facilities and refreshments. Despite the mixed Irish weather the trip on the fine ferry boat was managed with great care through th lock and out onto the Estuary. We shared the boat with passengers of all ages and felt safe and excited. The tides were read and we managed to even get a bit longer on the island. Scattery is laid out for the walker and very easy to navigate all the sites. The homesteads by the pier are renovated and bring a great sense of the more recent life of this beautiful roundtower island steeped in historical significance. Visiting Scattery Island is a must do if you are in the area."
"Fantastic experience, tour guide was so interesting & great stories. After the tour you can walk around island at your leisure keeping a watch for time to get boat back. Would highly recommend"
"Had a fantastic sorry boat ride out to the island and an interesting and light hearted history your from Simon before having a short time to explore the island and catching the boat back. Interesting, comfortable and peaceful day trip."
"Really nicely put together tour. We broke off the main tour and explored the island ourselves because the kids attention span wouldn't go well with a guided tour. Bring a packed lunch. Really fun day out with so much to explore."
"The staff were friendly, accommodating & friendly. We went as part of a hen party & had a picnic which was a delight. The weather was amazing on the day. This island is small with plenty to see & beautiful views. The trip across is short & enjoyable"
