Skellig Micheal is magical. It's wild, it's free, it's spiritual and everyone should go there to experience a little piece of Heaven. It shows the force of nature and life. It humbles the soul. Go! more

Skellig Michael is extraordinary - in modern conditions the trip out by boat in the wild Atlantic and then the perilous climb to the summit where the ancient settlement was carved out is challenging enough - imagining what was required from the monks of old to create this settlement and then make a life there is enduring testament to the... more

This is a very majestic place! We feel very lucky to have been able to visit Skellig Michael and its abbey. The feeling you get as you climb those stairs that were laid by monks in the year 600 is indescribable! But it makes you believe in a higher power! Not to mention the rugged raw beauty of the place!... more
