In September of 2015 we were returning from the Skelligs when we noticed some bird activity in the distance. The video you are about to see was taken on that day. What I saw that day was certainly the most amazing experience I have ever had during my 50 years at sea. Humpback whales feeding, dophins feeding Bluefine tuna feeding and add to that all the seabirds feeding it literally was a feeding frenzy. Forever to be remembered.
The journey to and from Skelligsrock is always interesting, but some days are just out there when the trip becomes extra special, seeing a pod of dolphins dancing along by the side of the boat, weaving back and forth across the bows.
Safety is of the utmost importance to us at Ocean Quests Skelligs Tours.
Below you will find links to safety procedures set out by the O.P.W. (Office of Public Works). These procedures will help you to experience the Skellig Islands safely. Accompanying these pamphlets is also a safety video which outlines best practices when ascending and descending the steps of Skellig Michael.
Your are about to book a trip to land on Skellig Michael a world Heritage site. The journey to the Islands is approximately 50 minutes. Under normal weather conditions you will be allowed 2.5 hrs on the Skelligs. Allow 5 hrs from when you board the boat in the morning to when you again disembark at the marina in the afternoon. Finally enjoy your day with us, we will do everything to make it a memorable journey.
The eco tour has multiple departures times throughout the day depending on the sea conditions. The boat tour takes approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes and circles both islands getting right up close to Skellig Michael and the small Skelligs to see both the wildlife and the historical sites. This tour can get quite busy especially in the peak season so it is advisable to book well in advance. This tour does not land on the Island.
