Holy Island is a treasure trove of historical monuments including the remains of six churches, a well preserved round tower, bullaun stones, a holy well, four crosses and a graveyard which is still used for local burials. Boats depart daily from Mountshannon harbour from mid May to October. Crossings usually take about 15 minutes each way with an hour on the Island. If you wish to explore a bit further or maybe relax and have a picnic a later collection time can easily be arranged. Boats are also available for hire locally.
