Where Your Tour Begins

Skellig

Welcome to Kerry

How to Get Here

All our tours depart from the marina in Portmagee, County Kerry. Arrive at least 15 minutes before the tour is due to depart.

You MUST allow at least 30 minutes more than your GPS advises. The roads are very narrow and you will encounter slow moving traffic, coaches, campervans etc. There will also be roadworks en route.

It is very important that we are able to contact you at the phone number and email that you provide when you make your booking. The tours are very dependent on the sea conditions and we will need to keep you updated if the departure time changes or if a tour is cancelled.
Please ensure you include your COUNTRY CODE with your phone number.

Travel Advisory and Tips

The departure time slot is normally between 08:00am and 12:30pm but can be later depending on the sea conditions, weather or tides. We will tell you the allocated departure time when you check-in the day before the tour.

You must be very flexible with your time on the day of the tour because departure times change frequently due to the sea conditions / tides / weather.

The tour normally returns to Portmagee between 1:30pm and 5:30pm but it can be later. 6pm is the latest the tour will finish if the departure is delayed because of the sea conditions. Please be aware of this when making plans for after the tour.
