Ballinskelligs Pier · Ring of Kerry
Cast off from Ballinskelligs and let the ocean do the talking. Towering sea-cliffs, ancient monastic islands and coastline you can only reach by boat — all from the deck of ours.
Book Your VoyageScenic tours from the pier
There's a stretch of Ireland you simply cannot see from the road. Slip out of Ballinskelligs Pier with us and the Ring of Kerry opens up from an entirely new angle — sheer cliffs plunging into the swell, hidden coves, and the vast, restless beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way.
Every mile brings a view reserved for those who go by sea. This is a rare kind of day out: unhurried, cinematic, and unforgettable — the untouched edge of Ireland, framed by nothing but ocean and sky.

Circle both islands and marvel at the ancient monastic settlement, the beehive huts and the famous 670 steps, all from a perspective few ever witness.
A landing trip across Lough Currane to Inis Uasal — the monastic ruins, cross slabs and the mysterious Fionán's Cell await.
Prefer a gentler cruise? Harbour trips and coastal journeys along the Iveragh shoreline — and package deals for those planning more than one adventure.
Sceilg Mhichíl
Since around 600 AD, this remote pyramid of rock has held one of Ireland's earliest monastic settlements — a place where monks carved out a life of quiet devotion in beehive-shaped stone huts high above the sea.
As we approach, those ancient structures come into view, alongside the astonishing 670 steps the monks once climbed each day. Round both Skellig Michael and Little Skellig and the wildlife reveals itself: puffins wheeling in spring, and gannets crowding Little Skellig in their thousands.
History and nature, all at once — and all from a vantage point no path can offer.
Inis Uasal, Lough Currane
Founded by Saint Fionán around the 6th century, this quiet island was once an important monastic sanctuary. Fionán became patron saint of the Iveragh Peninsula — his feast day falls on the 16th of March, and a 17th-century poem credits him with shielding the region from plague.
Step ashore and you'll find the ruins of a Hiberno-Romanesque church, its doorway still standing, along with carved cross slabs — one dedicated to a hermit named Anamchada, who died in 1057. There's even a rare carving of a man playing an early fiddle, echoing figures at Santiago de Compostela.
At the island's far end stands Fionán's Cell, a beehive structure with a narrow passage that aligns with the midwinter sunset — light spilling into its interior, hinting at older rituals woven into the monks' architecture.
