Halfway to Heaven – Three Unforgettable Months on Skellig Michael

My Time as a Guide on Skellig Michael I lived and worked here. On this austere Atlantic rock. Hard though that may be to believe. People gape at me and ask me did I live in a beehive hut? I laugh and say no. It was primitive but not that Read more…

Are you interested in visiting #skelligmichael in Are you interested in visiting #skelligmichael in 2020? Then start your engines. A number of the licensed boat operators have just started taking bookings. Not all of them because some are waiting for the announcement of an official season start date. So you’ll have to do a little bit of hunting to see who’s open. 
Last year, prices ranged from 90 euros to 130 euros so bear that in mind when booking. You might save yourself some money if you shop around. The median cost last year was 100 euros per person. 
Check out our list of operators page and also check the full list in the link at the bottom of the page.

Beautiful Reenroe beach in #Ballinskelligs. The si Beautiful Reenroe beach in #Ballinskelligs. The site of many a childhood Summer beach excursion. 
The beach is best known for its incredibly shallow incline that means you can walk for ages before you’re at even knee height. It’s also one of the best walking beaches in Kerry with locals taking time out of their day to visit with their dogs to take in the fresh sea air. 
This shot was taken by Kevin over at @koyumatcha. On one of those days where even a rain cloud enhances the view. 
Anyone have any other under-appreciated beach gems they’d like to share?

Big news. The OPW is opening Skellig Michael to la Big news. The OPW is opening Skellig Michael to landing tours, this Friday the 24th. Finally, we get to see how these guys are doing this year. To those of you booked before then, our sincerest commiserations. Trips to Skellig are always fraught with conditionality. You won’t be the only ones disappointed this Summer. But try to salvage the situation by making some great memories around the area instead. There’s lots to see and do. Including viewing tours of the islands up close. So, do come and visit. We’d love to share our little part of the world with you.

Landing on Skellig Michael is nothing if not a win Landing on Skellig Michael is nothing if not a winding road. And that road has taken a turn for the worse with the OPW, who are in charge of the island and the landings, declaring that their safety checks are not yet completed. So the landing tour season, which was meant to start tomorrow, is now delayed. I’ve no information at this time as to when they’re planning to start landings. But, hopefully, within the next few days. If you have a trip booked, make sure to be in contact with your boat operator to be kept up-to-speed on what’s happening. It’s disappointing, for sure, but not unprecedented. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments below.
