Skellig Michael Viewing Cruise
Cultural Heritage

Skellig Michael Viewing Cruises

Since landing restrictions mean most visitors view from the water, our curated cruises provide close viewing of the 6th-century monastic settlement on Skellig Michael. A maritime historian narrates the journey, explaining the monks' remarkable settlement and the island's wildlife. The 4-hour experience departs from Portmagee with comfortable seating and shelter from Atlantic weather.
