Little Skellig is a small, wild island belonging to the Skellig archipelago (along with the island of Skellig Michael). Located just a few miles off the coast of County Kerry, the island resembles an enormous craggy rock, where nature alone reigns supreme. A fabulous island, but unfortunately you can only admire it from the sea!
Unlike Michael Skellig, Little Skellig has never been inhabited. Consisting of a rocky outcrop particularly inhospitable to man, the island has always been wild.
Today, it’s home to a large colony of seals, as well as seabirds such as guillemots, gannets and puffins. They like to nest here, and fish around the island.
Much smaller than Michael Skellig, the island is distinguished by its dark, almost black rock. Spectacular, it offers boaters a superb view of its sheer rock faces.
Be careful, though: don’t get too close to the island: your boat could well be battered by the waves and crushed on the rocks.
We advise you to take the tourist shuttle, to avoid any danger: the drivers of these shuttles are used to it, and know the risks well.
