Paradise Island of Ireland

Valentia’s highest point and top tourist attraction. Renowned 360º views. All the island can be seen from here. Visitors walk up or drive up on a paved road. Clear views of Blasket Islands, Dingle Peninsula, McGillycuddy’s Reeks, Portmagee, Skellig Rocks. Jaw dropping views of the cliff face and ocean from the viewing deck at Fogher. Encircling the mountain, the magnificent Sky Path (1 mile loop walk) is a slower, more enriching way of savouring those 360º views. Panels of local history give a sense of island life, past and present.

Local tip: Sunrise (if you’re an early bird) and sunset are particularly stunning times to visit Geokaun Mountain & Cliffs.

Highlights
