These are privately owned islands. Day visitors to the Greater Saltee are kindly requested to respect the following rules and safety issues:

 
  • Please pay careful attention to the cliff areas as the ground is unsteady and may give way.
  • Please remember you are in a remote location and help might be slow.
  • No camping is allowed on the islands. The lighting of fires is strictly forbidden.
  • Please take with you any rubbish you might have as rare birds and rabbits could be harmed.
Again permission cannot be granted for tourists to visit the Little Saltee due to the dangerous landing conditions.
