The tour takes you past Deenish and Scariff Islands in the wildlife abundant Kenmare Bay and the highlight of the trip is a 2.5 hours stopover on Skellig Michael – a 1,500-year-old monastic settlement which is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site


On the return journey, you can take in close-up views of the Little Skellig, home to over 27,000 breeding pairs of gannets – making it the second la

rgest gannet colony in the world. If you are lucky, we may be also be joined by curious dolphins on the return leg, while your skipper John O’Shea will often catch a few fish to cook and share on the voyage home.

The Skellig Tours boat L'Oursin sailing in to Travara Harbour in West Cork last night.

The fickle nature of the weather and sea decided there would be no biolume on show. Beautiful skies though.

Special announcement. Special edition trip!

For the first time, we are excited to announce that we are seeking expressions of interest for a night time bio-luminescence sailing. Until you've seen shoals of fish, jellyfish and dolphins glowing blue
beneath the waves, you haven't lived!

Note: Due to the unpredictable nature of biolume, you will only receive brief notice, possibly on the day itself. Prices will be confirmed depending on interest and numbers. Tell your friends!

Just write your name below or message us. No obligation.
