Fancy actually setting foot on Rathlin?
About 3 and a half hours · Adults £42 · Under 16s £27.50 · sails nearly every day from Ballycastle harbour
You've watched the island from the beach at Ballycastle. Our Wild Rathlin tour takes you there: along the mighty cliffs and sea caves, in search of the seals in the coves, then a whole hour ashore at Church Bay before the sail home. Not much planning needed, just one easy booking.

In search of the locals
The route runs under the towering cliffs and past sea caves and lighthouses. Seals doze in the coves, the resident seabirds patrol the ledges, and now and then something bigger surfaces. Most puffins have left for winter, though the odd straggler still turns up. We can't promise wildlife, but the crew will always help you look. Every trip is its own lucky dip.
A whole hour ashore at Church Bay
Halfway through, the Selkie ties up and Rathlin is yours for an hour. Grab a coffee, visit the Boathouse Visitor Centre or have a wander on the bay before we sail for home. Just step aboard and the island day sorts itself.
