Tory Island
Toraigh
A remote island about 14 km off the coast that keeps its Irish-language traditions, and which still elects a "King" to welcome visitors.
Toraigh has a population of about one hundred people. Highlights include the round tower of an old monastery, a T-shaped cross and sea cliffs, and puffins can be seen here in summer. Ferries leave from Magheroarty pier, take about 45 minutes one way and cost around 30 euros return. Sailings are cancelled when wind and waves are strong. The island has one hotel and a pub, and some visitors choose to stay overnight to experience its live music.
Opening hours
Ferries approx. 2–4 sailings daily (seasonal)
