Make sure to book well in advance! Was an amazing trip. Get on and up. You can feel a supernatural presence there.
This experience to skellig Michael is so worth it. We got the landing tour and everything was great about it. It was a pretty good day, so there wasn't too many waves to make the journey difficult. It was also really easy to find the boat we booked with and get on without hassle
Just wait at the entrance of the marina and an employee of Casey's will show up. Amazing Tour around the islands. The guide stopped at the important parts of both islands and told us about the history and fauna.
We were also able to spot dolphins around the boat for several time. The guide always stopped the boat and help us. So the trip was longer then promised. Perfect experience!
Amazing tour. Guide was very helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! He had great stories and even took pics of us for our camera! Very nice. Would recommend to anyone. Lovely views!
I had hoped to land on Skellig Michael but because of government restrictions we weren't able to. Instead took a boat tour around bot Skellig Islands which was very enjoyable. Great views of both islands. We saw plenty of wildlife including dolphins. I would have appreciated a bit more info about the islands themselves, but the 2.5 hour boat ride was great on it's own.
The fella who runs this tour is an honest guy and will give you a greater tour than you bargained for. If you get sea-sick, don't forget to take some dramamine with you!
extremely nice people, excellent service, they called us the day before, that we'd need to arrive at Portmagee an hour earlier, Skellig Michael itself is spectacular, on the trip back to Portmagee we even encountered orca whales.
We had a great trip out to Skellig Michael. It was a bit foggy and choppy going out, but the boat ride was comfortable enough and safe. Typically you need to book months ahead to get a boat to Skellig Michael, but we called Casey's the afternoon before and were lucky enough that someone had just cancelled. There are no-shows every day, so if you are in the area and don't have reservations, show up at the pier early and you'll have a good chance of going! Also one of the most incredible places on earth, a must see if you are in Ireland.
Brilliant! Great trip, kind skippers, very well organized and safe, life jackets provided to everyone and safety instructions given before leaving which is not soooo usual on Ireland's little boat trips as we have experienced else were. We were on great Skellig and it is spectacular, must view! On the way back the guys got us around great Skellig and then slowly around the smaller Skellig to admire the nature there. Maybe a little longer stay on Skellig Michael would have been optimal, but overall a great trip.
