This tour takes you on a journey through time to explore the breathtaking Skellig Michael, a rocky island located off the coast of Kerry, Ireland. You will be guided through the island's ancient monastic settlement, which dates back to the 6th century, and
Skellig Michael, also called Great Skellig, is a twin-pinnacled crag 11.6 kilometres (7.2 mi) west of the Iveragh Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. The island is named after the archangel Michael; while "Skellig" is derived from the Irish language word sceilig, meaning a splinter of stone. Its twin island, Little Skellig, is smaller and inaccessible. The two islands were formed c. 374–360 million years ago during a period of mountain formation, along with the local MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range. They were later separated from the mainland by rising water levels.
