🦈The best thing to do in South Africa 💪🏻 🇿🇦

Shark cage diving and swimming with seals with Marine Dynamics Shark Tours! Unbelievable!

This was a day trip from Cape Town, booked through Trailfinders in Belfast and included transport (it's a long drive but worth it!)

Free family day out! ✈️ 👇🏻

📍Inis Mór, Co Galway

Get here by catching the ferry from Doolin in County Clare, or Rosaveel in County Galway.

⛴️ Rosaveel ferry - €34 adult return (check website)
⛴️ Doolin Ferry - €47 adult return (check website)

You can also do an organised bus trip from Galway City!

🚲 Plenty of bike hire options near the ferry port - €20

I'd recommend staying a night on Inis Mór to be able to explore at your own pace and visit other sites like the Seven Churches but book early as options are limited!
