Eoin will show us a wondrous native woodland on Clare Island and as he sails his Galway Hooker through Connemara’s turquoise waters he finds deserted islands home to skylarks and on the Aran Islands, Ireland’s only native reptile. Then Eoin experiences the most remarkable wild experience of his life –  dozens of basking sharks off the Clare coast engaged in an extraordinary breeding display – a truly amazing encounter being seen nowhere else on the planet.
