Sailings will depart daily from the picturesque town of Cobh from 12pm and the day begins with a short ferry journey.
Visitors will then embark on an immersive journey through several fascinating chapters in Irish history, discovering the island’s origins as a monastic settlement, its role as a British military fortress and one of Ireland’s oldest, most notorious prisons.
With interactive exhibits and the chance to spot some of the island’s resident seals, seabirds and dolphins – a day on Spike Island offers a chance to explore the island’s natural beauty and wildlife, all the while offering a fun and educational experience for all the family.
After a fun-filled day of exploring, adults can relax at the on-site café and browse the gift shop while children can enjoy the island’s playground.
