Skellig Michael Day Trip Holy Ground Sacred Place Daily passenger boat trip to Skellig Michael - subject to assessment of the weather and sea conditions of the day. Departure time is 10am. A 2 day stopover is recommended at Waterville for this trip as you are normally back on the mainland by about 4 pm also make time just in case of tide delay. The Skellig boat trip takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes each way, passing very close to Small Skellig and its 27,000 pairs of nesting gannets en route. But don’t have eyes only for the birds; Grey seals are a part of the daily scene, and dolphins usually accompany the boats. Our visiting time on Skellig Michael is normally about 2/3 hours giving you adequate time to follow the island’s only roadway, climb the only accessible stone stairs, tour the old monastic site 200 metres above the sea, and admire the puffins, guillemots, razorbills, kittiwakes and fulmars nesting on the island from the end of April to the early days of August. During high season, there are guides/wardens on duty in the monastery area. They can give information and answer visitors’ questions. For persons travelling without cars – pickup and dropback
