Skellig Michael from the water

An ancient world, seen from the sea

Embark on a captivating tour around the Skellig Islands and discover their incredible history from the water. Dating back to 600 AD, Skellig Michael was home to one of Ireland's earliest monastic settlements, where monks led a peaceful life in beehive-shaped stone huts.

As you approach the island you'll marvel at these ancient structures — and at the breathtaking 670 steps the monks once climbed daily, carved into the sheer rock face.
