Great Skellig, also known as Skellig Michael, is a rugged island off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland. It's famous for its Gaelic monastery dating back to the 6th-8th centuries and its diverse wildlife, including gannets, puffins, razorbills, and grey seals. The island's steep terrain and twin peaks make it a challenging yet fascinating destination for visitors. With its ancient history and stunning natural beauty, Great Skellig offers a unique experience that captures the imagination of all who visit. This island was used to film part of Star Wars. Eco tours run from March 17th - September 30th. Skellig Michael landing tours run from May 15th - September 30th. Online bookings open from end of February/early March.
