Walk the trail the monks may have taken while on Ballinskelligs and then complete the experience by a landing tour to Skellig Michael.

Very nice trip to the Skellig on the Force Awakens. We departed from Ballinskellig Pier (wich is very less crowded than Portmagee) and after the other boats (less people on the island too). The team was very friendly and the boat is nice.
