    Summer is well and truly underway on the island of Ireland in June! Warm days, blue skies and long sunny evenings have arrived.

    With sunrise around 5am and sunset around 10pm, you can pack so much into each day here at this time of year.

    From eclectic outdoor festivals and island excursions to fun on the water, let's jump head-first into June...

    Festival season fun

    Summer brings with it a host of fantastic festivals and events to Ireland. June kicks off with Listowel Writers' Week, which sees authors and book lovers from all over the world arriving in County Kerry for Ireland's oldest literary festival. In mid-June, Bloomsday is another literary highlight, as fans of James Joyce and his masterpiece, Ulysses, flock to Dublin to celebrate one of the greatest novels ever written.

    More of a music head? Try the West Cork Chamber Music Festival, which delights audiences in beautiful Bantry, County Cork.

    If it's adrenaline-fuelled action you're after, Ireland BikeFest in Killarney is a three-day motorcycle and rock music extravaganza that's free for all. Located near epic road trips such as the Ring of Kerry in County Kerry and the Ring of Beara in West Cork, it's a must for bikers from around the world.

    Of course, June is also Pride month and you’ll find LGBTQ+ celebrations taking place around the island, from high-energy parades in Dublin and Belfast to music nights, awareness events and even hikes and sea swims in places like Galway, Mayo and Derry~Londonderry.

    Island-hopping adventures

    Looking to explore a lesser-spotted side of Ireland on your travels? Island-hopping in Ireland is a great way to get off the beaten track and discover some hidden gems off the mainland.

    Achill Island, County Mayo and Inis Mór, one of the three Aran Islands off the coast of County Galway, are both having a moment, having starred on the big screen in the critically-acclaimed and award-winning film, The Banshees of Inisherin. Follow in the footsteps of stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson and uncover a charming world of dry stone walls, vast seascapes and friendly donkeys at these two beautiful locations.

    Nature-lovers should take a fun ferry ride from County Antrim to Rathlin Island. A birdwatching haven, the island is home to the Rathlin Seabird Centre, which offers spectacular viewing platforms for observing huge colonies of puffins, razorbills and kittiwakes. The West Lighthouse is also a unique sight to see here. It's known as Ireland's ONLY upside-down lighthouse! If you plan on staying overnight, Rathlin Glamping Pods provide breathtaking sea views.

    The Skellig Islands, County Kerry are another show-stopping destination and one of Ireland's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From providing a remote retreat for monks in the 6th century to wowing viewers in recent Star Wars movies, these timeless jagged rocks need to be seen to be believed. Boat tours both to and around the islands are available throughout the summer months.
