The Skellig Experience Visitor Centre

The Skellig Experience Visitor Centre The Skellig Experience located on Valentia Island is a must see attraction for visitors to County Kerry. FREE onsite coach and car parking is provided.

Easy access to the building for disabled visitors is available. Experience the magic of the Skellig region.Through re-creations and models you can study the works and lives of the Skellig monks of the early Christian period, their activities, their endurance and their dedication in gaining a foothold on a tiny, inhospitable, offshore island and creating a community there that survived for some 600

years. In The Skellig Experience’s 80-seat auditorium, watch a film presentation and follow the footsteps of those Skellig monks, and wonder at the legacy of architecture that they left behind. Cruise around the impressive Skellig Rocks. Take to the open area and discover the magic and mystery of the rocks first hand. ( Weather Permitting)

Standing on Skellig Michael feels like stepping into another world 🌊

Towering cliffs, endless Atlantic views, winding stone steps and the sound of seabirds all around you — it’s an experience that’s difficult to put into words until you see it for yourself.

Landing season is finally here, and we can’t wait to welcome visitors back onto this incredible island 💙
