The whole family really enjoyed the boat trip, despite not being able to land on the island. It was great to see the visitor centre before and get all the background.

Skellig history

Lovely centre giving the history of the islands and how life was lived there. Audio film goes into details of life and how they survived isolated on this island.

Amazing journey to Skellig

An amazing ride out across the swelling Atlantic to visit Skellig Michael. It's not for the faint at heart, or those who get easily sea sick. But expertly captained and truly an amazing sight to behold. A very unique experience.
