Damien O’Malley, a fourth-generation fisherman brought up around the scenic coast of Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, recently launched Roundstone Bay & Island Tours to share his love of the region with visitors. Guests can choose from four tours, with private hire available, too. All tours take in the beaches of Gurteen and Dog’s Bay, as well as the deserted island of Inishlacken and Roundstone Bay’s resident dolphins, seals, sunfish, otters and basking sharks. The tours take place on a custom-built, 21-foot-long boat named Benbaun.
The Eco tour, at €100, takes up to five guests on a one-hour trip to soak in views of Roundstone Bay and the nearby islands. The Drop Off & Pick Up tour, also €100, allows up to five guests to journey to Inishlacken. Perfect for family or friends, guests can pack their bags for a day out on the island and choose their own drop-off and pick-up times.
The Landing tour, at €180, consists of a 2.5-hour tour for up to five guests around Roundstone Bay before landing on Inishlacken. Guests of this tour can take their time exploring the island. The fourth tour, the Catch & Cook tour, features a three-hour trip exploring the bay, pulling crab and lobster pots along the way. The boat then pulls into the harbor at Ervallagh, where the skipper prepares and cooks your catch alongside some additional seafood dishes, as well. Guests sit in the seaside garden and enjoy their fresh lunch with a glass of bubbles. The Catch & Cook tour is €450 per person. Book a tour here.
