Valentia Island sits off the Kerry coast and is reached by a short ferry crossing, with summer bringing long evenings and the busiest ferry timetable of the year. Winter gales often cancel sailings, so crossings are worth planning around the weather. The North Atlantic Drift keeps Irish islands mild in winter, so snow is rare and short-lived. Grey seals, basking sharks in summer and seabirds such as puffins and gannets are all seen around Irish islands, and the waters off Valentia are no exception.
