Find hotels in Inishmurray Island from CA $150

The best time to visit Inishmurray Island is during the summer months, from June to August, when the weather is generally at its mildest and the sea conditions are most favourable for boat trips.During this period, you'll find the days are longer, offering more daylight hours to explore the island's monastic ruins, ancient stone beehive huts, and the remains of its former village. The calmer waters also increase the likelihood of successfully making the journey to and from the island, as crossings can be weather-dependent.For travellers who prefer a more tranquil experience, late May or early September can also be good options. While the weather might be a little cooler or less predictable, these shoulder seasons often mean fewer visitors, allowing for a more personal exploration of the island's unique heritage and natural beauty.
