This is the boat tour we used to visit Skellig Michael and I would absolutely recommend them. There a small handful of tour companies that take you to the island and I'm sure all of them are great, but this was our experience. Our captain Peter was such a character and we made it there and back in one piece (those waves are no joke!).

Prepare for an unforgettable adventure as you set out from the Portmagee marina for a boat trip on the open Atlantic. Your journey takes you to the magnificent Skellig Michael, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The highlight is landing on the island and tackling the 618 ancient, steep stone steps that wind their way up to the incredible 6th-century monastic settlement. This is a truly special, once-in-a-lifetime experience, but be ready for a demanding climb that requires good fitness and a head for heights.
