Our trip with Aqua Terra...

5.00Our trip with Aqua Terra was easily one of the most cherished memories of our vacation. Even though the time of year didn't allow for a landing, the experience was world-class. The guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making the journey feel both personal and sophisticated. A major highlight was seeing the puffins bobbing in the water; watching them from the boat was a spectacular sight. If you are looking for a premier way to experience the Skelligs, I cannot recommend their service highly enough.

5.00If you want breathtaking views and an incredible experience you have found it here. The crew was great, friendly and knowledgeable. The recorded tour guide excelled in pairing this once in a lifetime experience with interesting facts of the area and history which just enhanced this magical experience even more. The boat is great, smooth ride out and back, we did have unseasonably calm seas. Start to finish it exceeded our expectations. I would definitely do this again.
DO IT

5.00The islands are breathtaking, but Elizabeth and Brandon made the day unforgettable. They’re both so lovely, warm, genuine, and passionate about what they do. Elizabeth shared amazing details about Valentina and the Skellig Islands that made us appreciate them even more. You can really tell how much they care about giving people a meaningful experience. Couldn’t recommend them enough!
Best staff possible

5.00I don't normally write reviews, but I had to after this. Our Host, Elizabeth, and our Skipper were fantastic! Absolute specialists. From getting us ready for the ride to the deep knowledge of the area. Fantastic experience, it was the highlight of my entire trip to Ireland. Absolutely worth the cost. They even gave us a bit of extra time on the water because there were whales and dolphins and we got to do some wildlife observation for a bit. Of course you can't plan on that, but it was awesome to see.
Skellig Michael Island: A MUST VISIT!

5.00We are a 65 year old couple and we absolutely enjoyed this tour! We were very fortunate to visit Skellig Michael Island since for security reasons, the tour is often cancelled because of the inhospitable sea! On our three week visit of Ireland, we saw many beautiful landscapes but our highlight was without a doubt this unique and historical island! We didn’t know what to expect but this tour was well worth the money! M & M Canada
