School Tours with Scattery Island Tours Clare

comment

A visit to Scattery is like no other school tour!

Primary School Tours

The excitement begins as we exit the marina through the huge lock gates! The children will watch in wonder as the powerful water flows in and out of the gates. Once out on the estuary, it is just a short 15 minute sailing to the island as the children spot the various wildlife on route.

During the sailing, we will give each child a special treasure trail map colouring page, which includes information on the rabbits and birds they will learn about on the island.

On arrival, our tour guides will take the children on a spellbinding tour of the island’s monastic sites, where they will learn all about St. Senan and his battle against the monster Cathaigh.

After the guided tour, the children have a further 1.5 hours to enjoy their packed lunch and explore the southern end of the island where the lighthouse and Napoleonic artillery battery are located!

Scattery offers a safe playground and a fascinating learning experience for these young minds!

Scattery Island…. Yours to Explore!

Located just off Kilrush in Co. Clare, Scattery Island is a wonderful monastic settlement founded by St. Senan in the 5th century. The island features five churches, a cathedral, one of only two round towers in Ireland with the door at the ground floor level, St. Senan’s well with its healing powers, a Napoleonic artillery battery and a working lighthouse.
