How To Visit Skellig Michael In 2024 (A Guide To The Skellig Islands)

The Skellig Michael tours are some of Ireland’s most sought-after. They’re also some of the most misunderstood .

There are two types of Skellig Islands tours:

  • Landing tours : You physically explore Skellig Michael Island
  • Eco tours : You sail around the two Skellig Islands but don’t leave the boat

In the guide below, you’ll find info on the different tours of the Skellig Islands, their history and, of course, the Star Wars link . Enjoy!

Some quick need-to-knows if you want to visit Skellig Michael

So, if you want to visit Skellig Michael Island, there are several  need-to-knows before you start planning your trip.

1. Location

The ancient Skellig Islands jut from the Atlantic Ocean around 13km from Ballinskelligs Bay off the tip of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry .

2. There are 2 islands

There are two Skellig Islands. The smaller of the two, known as Little Skellig , is closed to the public and cannot be accessed. Skellig Michael (AKA ‘Great Skellig) is over 750 feet tall and is home to a number of historic sites.

3. There are 2 tour types

If you’re wondering how to get to Skellig Michael, you have 2 options – the Skellig Michael landing tour (you physically go onto the island) and the eco tour (you sail around the islands). The majority of Skellig Michael tours leave from Portmagee pier, although one leaves from Derrynane Harbour and another leaves from Valentia Island .

4. Star Wars fame

Yes, Skellig Michael is the Star Wars Island in Ireland. It featured Star Wars Episode VII “The Force Awakens” in 2014 . If you’ve watched the movie, you’ll see Skellig Michael at the end of the movie when Luke Skywalker gets reintroduced to viewers.

5. Warnings

  • Book tickets well in advance:  They book out frequently
  • Good fitness levels needed:  You’ll need to climb a bit on the landing tour
  • Tours don’t run all year: The ‘season’ runs from from April until the beginning of October

6. Where to stay nearby

The best place to base yourself when visiting Skellig Michael, in my opinion, is Portmagee , however, Valentia Island and Waterville are two other great options.

About the Skellig Islands

You’ll find Skellig Michael Island and Little Skellig jutting from the Atlantic around 1.5km from Ballinskelligs Bay off the tip of the Iveragh Peninsula.

And it’s from here that the Skellig Islands have been delighting those that have dared to visit long before George Lucas and Hollywood came knocking.

How they were formed

It was during the Armorican/Hercynian Earth Movements that Skellig Michael first peeked above the Atlantic Ocean.

These movements led to the formation of the mountains of County Kerry, which Skellig Michael is connected to.

The mass of rock from which the island was formed dates back over 400 million years and consists of compressed sheets of sandstone mixed with silt and gravel.

Mentioned as far back as 1400 BC

Of the two islands, Skellig Michael boasts the most Religious and historical significance.

The island was first referenced in history in   1400 BC and was called ‘home’ by a group of monks for the first time during the 8th century.

In pursuit of a greater union with God, a group of ascetic monks withdrew from civilisation to the remote island to begin a life of solitude.

A UNESCO World Heritage site

The remote and isolated islands have an almost prehistoric feel about them and the Skelligs are widely regarded as one of Europe’s most perplexing and remote sacred sites.

In 1996, UNESCO gave recognition to Skellig Michael and its “outstanding universal value” , placing it upon the World Heritage List , where it sits proudly next to the likes of the Giants Causeway and Yellowstone National Park.

“An incredible, impossible, mad place”

Once upon a time, over 20 years before Star Wars creator George Lucas was born, a Nobel Prize and Oscar-winning Irish playwright discovered the wonders of the Skellig Islands.

On September 17th, 1910, George Bernard Shaw left the Kerry coast in an open boat and sailed across the choppy waters that lay between the islands and the mainland.

In a letter penned to a friend, Shaw described the island as  “An incredible, impossible, mad place”  that is  “part of our dream world” . If that doesn’t make you want to visit, nothing will.

How to get to Skellig Michael in 2024

Skelligs View

We get emails asking how to get to Skellig Michael constantly . They tend to start mid-summer. But by that time many tours are booked up.

So, there are several different Skellig Michael boat tours on offer. Now, as mentioned above, just 180 people can access the island each day .

So, getting a ticket on one of the boat trips that land on the island can be tricky. Here’s an overview of each of the tours:

1. The Eco Tour around the islands

The first of the two Skellig Michael tours is the Eco Tour. This is the tour that takes you around the islands, but that doesn’t ‘land’ on Skellig Michael.

These Skellig Island tours tend to involve visiting Little Skellig first and seeing some of the wildlife (ganets and seals to name a fiew) before sailing around Skellig Michael.

2. The Skellig Michael Landing Tour

The Skellig Michael Landing Tour involves taking a ferry to the larger of the islands and heading for a wander around it.

The landing tours is more expensive (info below) but it’ll treat you to one of the most unique experiences in Ireland.

Things to see and do on Skellig Michael

Skellig Michael was first referenced in history in   1400BC and was called ‘home’ by a group of monks for the first time during the 8th century.

It’s thanks to these monks that the island is home to a number of historical sites (the views are also out of this world).

1. Enjoy the journey over

how to get to skellig michael

If you do get a chance to visit Skellig Michael, your adventure begins from the moment you step on the ferry.

The journey across takes an hour from Portmagee (above) and you’ll be able to start soaking up views soon after your departure.

Now, if you’ve ever taken a ferry anywhere in Ireland, you’ll know that the water can be very choppy at times, so keep that in mind.

I’d recommend decent footwear, also. Aside from the fact that you’ll be doing a lot of walking on the island, the area where you step off the ferry can be slippy.

This isn’t helped by the fact that the boat will be rocking. So, decent footwear and a sturdy belly (keep away from the pints the night before!) are both needed. 

2. The Stairway to Heaven

the stairs on skellig michael

Cast your mind back to a time when monks lived on Skellig Michael (AKA ‘Great Skellig’). They needed to eat, and the water was their main source of food.

The monks needed to conquer a grueling 600+ steps each day as they made their way from the summit, where they lived, to the icy waters below, where they caught fish.

Those that visit the island will need to climb these 600+ steps to reach the top of the island. This will be a challenge for those with poor mobility.

3. Views galore

the views when you get the boat to skellig michael

If you visit Skellig Michael on a clear day, you’ll be treated to outstanding views of Little Skellig and the Kerry coastline. 

And after climbing the 600+ steps to the top, you’ll have earned a bit of kick-back-and-take-it-all-in-time.

When you arrive here, try and switch off, put the phone/camera away and bask in the brilliance that surrounds you. 

4. The beehive huts

beehive huts on great skellig

Life in the middle of the Atlantic was by no means easy, so the monks got to work and built several structures to make the island suitable to live on.

Over time, they managed to construct a Christian monastery, six beehive huts, two oratories and some terraces.

The cluster of six beehive huts that housed the island’s inhabitants were constructed with slate and stand proud to this day – an immense feat considering the intense storms they’ve been subjected to over many years.

5. The Skellig Michael monastery

Although the Skellig Michael monastery is a ruin, much of the inner and outer enclosure is still visible. The monastery is situated on the east side of the island, as this location gets some good shelter.

The monks built three different staircases that would allow them to access the area, depending on the weather. Only the steps I mentioned earlier are accessible to the public today, for safety reasons.

You’ll be able to see one of the staircases from the monastery. This was one of the paths that was shown in Star Wars: Force Awakes.

FAQ – Casey’s Skellig Michael Landing and Eco Tours

Where do the tours depart from? All our tours depart  from the marina in Portmagee, Co. Kerry, Ireland

Do I need to book in advance? Availability for the Landing Tour is very limited so you really need to book well in advance. The Eco Tours also fill up quite quickly especially in the busy season so it is advisable to book well in advance to reserve your desired departure date and time.

Even the eco tour is worth it!

We booked out Eco tour with Casey's Skellig Islands Tours, it was awesome! Lucky that the waves and weather allowed us to go out that day. We traveled in April so we weren't in landing tour season, but just going out on the boats and seeing the islands is so cool! The boat ride was fun and adventurous on the large swells and rougher waters, both islands were amazing to see, we had dolphins swim along with us and the gannet birds glided on the water around us. The boat was in good condition, the captain did a great job.

casey's tours skellig michael

I had a great time on the cruise out to the Skelligs. Paul was very professional and informative about the islands.

I am a tour guide and I had a small group with a Star wars fan on board. I suggested that maybe we could visit the world famous Skellig michael islands. They jumped at it and me been passionate about our early Monastic culture jumped at the chance. I spoke to Paul from Skellig miceal cruises and from the word go I knew he was both easy to deal with and a gentleman. His boat was spotless and well able for the enjoyable Atlantic swells. his young son patrolled the boat and tendered to our every need and advising us that we might see dolphins and the young skipper was bang on as 4/5 dolphins basked in the warm water of the gulf stream. They breeched the water several times. Once we reached the islands Paul educated us about the early monks the lighthouse stories the bird colonies of the smaller island. Paul and Co run a good show and I highly recommend their services. Very reasonably priced to and overall 5/5 well done.

Must love rocky boat rides and steep steep stairs!! I was fortunate to get on this tour as the previous days tour was cancelled due to choppy seas. The history behind the Skellig is fascinating and the view is breathtaking.

casey's tours skellig michael

On the day of our scheduled 9AM landing tour, the weather was beautiful, but the seas were ROUGH. Casey's own boat wasn't going to risk it, but they kept in constant contact with us throughout the morning and got us seats on another boat that was planning to leave later at 11AM. I've never had a company go so above-and-beyond for me as a customer. Given how frequent cancellations and weather problems are, I'd definitely go with Casey's; they'll take excellent care of you, and if they can't make it happen, you'll know that no one could've. The landing tour was absolutely unreal. What a gorgeous, otherworldly island. It was so stunning and strange; you can absolutely see why they chose it as the setting for an alien world. (Not very accessible, though!) I've been all over Ireland, and there's nothing like Skellig. The ride over was stomach-churning, but we had dolphins leaping beside the boat and gannets overhead, so I couldn't exactly complain. Just don't eat much beforehand, and you should be fine.

casey's tours skellig michael

My boyfriend and I were so looking forward to doing the landing tour during our Ireland trip, but sadly it was not in the cards for us! Our initial booking got cancelled because of the weather, but we were able to get on the next day's tour after putting our name on the wait list. Casey's gets 5 stars for customer service, as they are very thorough and call you at every juncture with updates and to accommodate you the best they can. We were driving down to Portmagee from Cork City the morning of the tour, and they kept us abreast of the situation the night before and then during our drive, with Brendan Casey calling us personally to update. (Would not recommend the 3 hr drive from Cork City to Portmagee the morning of your tour, FYI. Driving on winding Irish country roads in the pitch black pre-dawn is terrifying). We were told the boat was going out, but unfortunately the tide was too high for the boats to dock safely once we got out there, so we had to settle instead for a tour around the islands. Not nearly as cool, and to be honest I wouldn't have braved the 2+ hours of 10 foot swells on that boat if I had known I couldn't get off on the island. But, that's the risk you take I guess! Was fully expecting to potentially get sea sick, but surprisingly no one on our boat did. They give you candied ginger before heading out to calm your stomach, guess it worked. The drive up and down the Wild Atlantic Way to get to Portmagee is so rugged and gorgeous, it is definitely worth a visit even for that reason only. Ring of Kerry is nearby as well. Probably won't be back, as the landing is such a game of chance and quite out of the way of any other major areas to visit, but glad we tried!

About Skellig Island

The twin crags of Skellig Michael Islands appears in the horizon, shortly after the Skellig Michael Boat Trips start off from Portmagee Village.

The natural formation of the islands could date back to at least 300 million years ago in the prehistoric period. The islands can be divided into two portions— The Great Skellig Michael & Little Skellig.

The Skellig Michael landing tour is not permitted on the Little Skellig island, while the Great Skellig Michael, with its easily noticeable twin peaks, is among Europe’s most ancient and sacred places. It used to be home to a group of Gaelic monks in the 6th century. The monks had built the Skellig Monastery to mark as the finishing line of an ancient pilgrimage going through France, Italy, Greece and Palestine — The St. Michael Axis. The monastic settlement is also highly regarded for its architectural genius, exemplified by the beehive huts and the 3 steps and pathways, with over 600 stairs leading up to the monastery— all still in brilliant condition to this day.

Apart from the historical importance of the site, the island also has a rich biodiversity and is home to one of the world’s largest colonies of Northern Gannets. Other fauna includes seabird species like puffins and razorbills and marine animals including a thriving population of grey seals. Earlier known as just Skellig, which in Gaelic means “splinter of stone” the site, especially the twin crags was later named after the Archangel Michael, as a dedication. It got the status of UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996. It was recently the filming location for the movie Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015.

How can you describe the Skellig Michael to someone who has never visited this place of peace, serenity and absolute beauty, yet with ruggedness all around you?

No one has ever painted a picture of the Skellig Michael with words, better then the famous Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw when he wrote to Frederick Jackson: “Parknasilla Hotel, Sneem, 18th September 1910.”

“The most fantastic and impossible rock in the world: Skellig Michael… where in the south west gales spray knocks stones out of the lighthouse keeper’s house… the Skelligs are pinnacled, crocheted, spired, arched, caverned, minareted; and these gothic extravagances are not curiosities of the islands:they are the islands: there is nothing else.The rest of the cathedral may be under the sea for all I know …An incredible, impossible, mad place…I tell you the thing does not belong to any world that you and I have lived and worked in: it is part of our dream world.”

“This was a brilliant experience and nothing will ever compare to the sight of Skellig Michael appearing above the mist as we headed into the fresh Atlantic from the calm waters of Portmagee harbour.”

-Farranboy62, Dublin

“We travelled to the Skelligs with Sea Quest and they could not have been more helpful. From the well-run and friendly first approach on the quayside to leaving them 4 hours later nothing could have been improved. The Captain was extremely personable and told us things of interest throughout the trip.”

Trip advisor logo

“The islands are even more remarkable up close and in person than they are in pictures and movies. We took a boat ride around them, and it was the most rewarding investment of time we have had here in Ireland.”

-Charles M, UK

“If there is a chance still to go by boat to Skellig, this should definitely be used. Even the rocks from the ship is incredibly impressive, the monastery huts and the stairs are clearly visible. Cost: €35 per person. Highly recommended!!”

-Uetliberg, Switzerland

Amazing journey to Skellig

An amazing ride out across the swelling Atlantic to visit Skellig Michael. It's not for the faint at heart, or those who get easily sea sick. But expertly captained and truly an amazing sight to behold. A very unique experience.
