Thread the Eye of the Needle

High speed boat trip from pier near Eyeries on the north shore of Beara,

Not easy to thread the eye of a needle, and it's not easy to do this boat trip as the weather conditions have to be good. Summer storms,

usually one in the first week of August which takes everyone by surprise, nearly always a storm on the June Bank Holiday weekend. Too much

surf, tidal surge, and we cannot do it, meaning only a lucky few get to make this trip

Pass through the Bull Rock tunnel and pass through into the other world. The famous tunnel is steeped in Irish legend. Who built it? And why? 5 miles off the coast of the Beara Peninsula this awesome tunnel awaits you. Passing through is one of the most exciting things you can do, hearing the echo, and the crashing waves ahead. And there are the sea birds, thousands of them and a lighthouse high above

If this boat trip interests you and you would like to come on it with me then please would you Contact me . Trying to make definite dates for trips is nigh impossible due to so frequent storms in South West Ireland. However if you would like to come with me on this trip please tell me and give me some way of contacting you. I can text you or send you an email. I usually won't know if I am going until about three days before. I won't go unless it is safe to do so. I keep in contact with a licensed pilot, whose boat is insured. If it is not safe by him, then we don't go. Neither of us are prepared to take risks.
