Great experience. I would highly recommend a visit onto the island if you are physically able as it is an exerting climb but if you take your time anyone can do it. The scenery was beautiful and the tour guide was very interesting.10/10

Beautiful view, great day with family (2 teenagers and a husband). Not for the faint of hearts. You need to be fit (not running 10km every morning fir) but at least once a day for a long walk. Don't underestimate the heights. Will recommend.

The experience was excellent. I had a really good time. This was an experience absolutely worth doing. The island is really beautiful and the views are amazing. Four items to know before you go. 1). Take something if you get even the slightest bit motion sick because the ride over is across the open ocean and it can be really choppy. 2). There is a bathroom on the island. 3). The climb to the top is strenuous. It isn't long but it is very tiring. 4). Bring a water bottle and food to have something to eat and drink at the top.

Ive been to skelligs a few years ago .I went from portmagee the boat trip was grand for about a mile out and then it got rough .it was grand coming back. Skelligs is a spectacular place Its a good climb to the top but well worth it id advise caution when climbing the steps and coming down the bee hive huts made of stone are stunning. Id recommend You put it on your bucket list.

Fupping not a place I'd go to party or go hide from the other Jedi. But yes, if I was a miserable wee monk who liked beating himself up and denying himself the joys of the world and was trying to find a place where the Vikings might not find me, then this would be the place!
