Skellig Michael is an island 12 km off the South West coast of Ireland. It houses the incredibly well-preserved remains of an early Christian monastery and that was founded in the 6th century and a place of monastic retreat until the 12th century. Due to its universal cultural value, Skellig Michael was awarded World Heritage Site status in 1996, one of only two sites in the Republic of Ireland. Most recently, it has achieved worldwide fame thanks to its appearance as the planet Ahch-To, in both Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi.
Exploring the miracle that is Skellig Michael is an experience unlike any other that will stay in your memory forever. Skellig Michael Boat Trips are one of only 15 boat operators licensed to land on Skellig Michael between May and October each year.
