"A long time ago and in a galaxy far, far away...." For the History or Film Buffs the Skellig Islands are more stunning and other-worldly than any of the special effects of the past two Star Wars movies. Long before Luke Skywalker arrived on the scene, the real-life towering rock outcroppings glimpsed in the closing moments of the 2015 film The Force Awakens and also playing a starring role in the blockbuster, The Last Jedi, have been a sacred 1,500 year old place of retreat, pilgrimage and sanctuary. The area was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996 and are accessible only by licensed boat operators who can bring passengers to disembark on the island. There are also eco tours to the soaring Kerry Cliffs and protected seabirds, including colourful Puffins. Guest access Private parking on site.
