About this experience

Hiking Tours in Inishbofin Village are guided walks across the island's rugged western coastline and inland peat bogs. These tours start from the village pier and cover trails that lead to cliffs, beaches, and historical sites. The tours operate daily from April to October, with routes tailored to group fitness levels.

What to expect

  • Guided 3-hour hike covering 8–10 km of cliff paths and bog tracks, with stops at the Cromwellian fort and St. Colman's monastery ruins.
  • Small group size of maximum 12 people, ensuring a personalised pace and attention from the local guide.
  • Includes a packed lunch with local produce, such as smoked mackerel sandwiches and oatcakes, eaten at a scenic viewpoint.
  • Suitable for walkers with moderate fitness; the route includes steep sections and uneven terrain, but no technical climbing.
  • Binoculars provided for spotting seabirds like puffins and guillemots on the offshore stacks during the nesting season.
  • Departure times vary with tide and weather; the tour is cancelled if wind speeds exceed 25 knots, with a full refund offered.
