Great Skellig, also known as Skellig Michael, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site off the coast of County Kerry, Ireland, famed for its well-preserved early Christian monastery and unique birdlife, including puffins. Accessibility is limited; boat trips are the only way to reach the island, and landings are weather-dependent and typically operate from mid-May to late September. Due to the steep climb to the monastery via ancient steps, a good level of fitness is required, and it's unsuitable for those with mobility issues. Guided tours are generally included with the boat trip, providing historical context and insights into the island's significance. Independent exploration is limited. The cost for a boat trip, including landing and a guided tour, typically ranges from €80 to €120 per person. A typical visit duration is around 2.5 to 3 hours, including the boat trip and time on the island.
