Hiking
Please note, a ride takes 8 minutes, so if it is a bit busier it may take a while. But it is very fun to do, even in strong winds it is fine.
The track is closed from 1:00 PM to 1:30 PM for a break.

Hiking
The journey to Dursey Island is a bit of an adventure. You cross the sound on a somewhat dated cable car, Ireland's only cable car. The blue and white cabin carries six people or one cow over the raging sea and, unless a wall of fog obscures the view, offers breathtaking views of the Beara Peninsula and Dursey Island.
