Clear Island Getting there & around

Getting there & away

From Baltimore, the ferry Naomh Ciarán II (39153; www.capeclearferry.com) takes 45 minutes to cover the 11km journey to Clear Island and it’s a stunning trip on a clear day. There are four boats daily between mid-July and mid-August, with the earliest leaving at 11am and the latest returning at 7pm, and at least two per day the rest of the year (departures morning and late-afternoon only). Return fares are €12/6 per adult/child, and bicycles travel free.
