Itinerary
Pass by: Embark on the Ultimate Skellig Coast Tour for an unforgettable round-trip journey to Skellig Michael and Small Skellig. Guests are immersed in captivating folklore, history, and natural wonders, guided by Aqua Terra's multilingual audio headsets - the ONLY multilingual tour on the Skellig Coast!
Pass by: Enjoy the view of Bray Head Tower, originally constructed during the Napoleon era, this tower has stood the test of time with stories that can be enjoyed today.
Pass by: As you continue out to sea, passing the spectacular Kerry Cliffs and Puffin Island, sit back and enjoy the sights around you. These iconic isles are havens for diverse wildlife, from birds to seals, with the possibility of dolphins and whales to add to the magic. Uncover the ancient tales of Skellig Michael, steeped in early Christian heritage dating back to the 6th century and up to the present day. A testament to the enduring legacy of its past inhabitants to then reveal how the island's stories have moved through time to become Kerry's only UNESCO World Heritage site. Please note, that this tour does not land on the Skellig Islands.
Pass by: As you leave Skellig Michael, keep a sharp lookout as often on your journey; you may encounter dolphins and whales popping up to say hello. On your return to land, your captain will cruise past the small monastic island of Illlaunloughan and onwards towards the picturesque fishing village of Portmagee where fishing and piracy shaped the village it is today.

Traveler reviews
A Skelligs experience
A smashing trip, very exhilarating. Time inside the boat in the warm getting to the Skelligs and time outside to view the wildlife. We saw gannets, razorbills, puffins and dolphins on the way back. Elizabeth was a very attentive knowledgeable guide and Brendon kept us afloat very competently whilst also spotting wildlife.
Cancellation without notice
Trip cancelled without preliminary information. We had to fall back on another activity.

Our trip with Aqua Terra...
Our trip with Aqua Terra was easily one of the most cherished memories of our vacation. Even though the time of year didn't allow for a landing, the experience was world-class. The guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the journey feel both personal and sophisticated. A major highlight was seeing the puffins bobbing in the water; watching them from the boat was a spectacular sight. If you are looking for a premier way to experience the Skelligs, I cannot recommend their service highly enough.
