EXCELLENT Based on 122 reviews JoshTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the most amazing experience with Brendan & Elizabeth who were wonderful hosts and thoroughly knowledgable about all things Skellig!! The boat journey was so much fun and we had such a fab afternoon as a family. Serious praise though to Brendan and Elizabeth who were friendly, welcoming and did everything in their power to ensure the experience was a great one. We will certainly go on another boat trip with them on our next visit. Keep up the amazing work both.

I am writing to share my wonderful experience on the Valentia Island Experience - Guided Boat Tour on Saturday, 31 May 2025. Our tour guide, Brendan, was exceptionally informative and made the entire trip thoroughly enjoyable. What stood out most was how he helped put my 6-year-old daughter at ease when she felt a little scared during the tour. His kind and reassuring demeanor made a big difference, allowing her to relax and fully appreciate the experience. We truly appreciated the fantastic guided tour and will highly recommend it to others. KevinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was a very good cruise and trip to the Skellig Islands.Brendan and Elizabeth did a great job. Elizabeth explained everything even though we were given headsets that explained things. I would definitely recommend this adventure and would do it again if in the area. Keep up the good work. Logan BarroisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My fiancée and I went on a boat tour with Elizabeth and Brendan to the Skellig Isles, and it was absolutely amazing. They were highly accommodating, taking photos for anyone who asked (attached); and they were also very educational: sharing facts with us about everything having to do with the region, from monks to wildlife to suggestions for more activities following the end of the tour. Thanks to Elizabeth for suggesting the chocolate factory and Driftwood restaurant, both were great! Can't recommend these people enough, especially the Skellig Michael tour. Thanks again Elizabeth and Brendan! Sandra HornakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The weather was windy and a bit rainy, but still worth the trip to do an eco-tour with this company around the Skellig Michael islands. The boat was a comfortable ride and the narrative from the guide (forgive me I forgot her name) was perfect! The captain did an excellent job of navigating through the waves as comfortably as he could. Highly recommended experience! Dan O'DonoghueTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the privilege of bringing our valued clients on a tour around Valentia Harbour with Brendan and crew, and to say it was a success was an understatement!!! Well done guys!!!! Dan Peter FalveyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Full marks to Elizabeth and Brendan for our trip out to the Skelligs on there beautiful boat, with all safety gear and all explained perfectly. The trip out was fast, and when there was something to be seen and explained it was all done perfectly. Again many thanks and we will be back again.

We really enjoyed the boat trip, it was very educational and full of great views, highly recommended! Bryn KinderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This tour was a lot of fun and a beautiful side adventure while exploring the ring of Kerry. Water was rough and my husband got seasick — but I had an absolute blast. The views were unreal, the stories were gripping, and it felt like uncovering a secret side of Ireland. Rough seas or not, totally worth it. Brian CurtinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely fantastic experience with Aqua Terra Boat Tours! The brand-new boat was incredibly comfortable and made the trip out to the Skelligs smooth and enjoyable. Our guide Elizabeth was friendly, knowledgeable, and added great local insight throughout the journey. The supplementary audio guide was a brilliant touch and really brought the history and wildlife to life. The whole trip was run like clockwork – efficient and relaxed at the same time. We had loads of time on the boat to take in the stunning scenery, and watch the bird colonies, including plenty of puffins. Couldn’t recommend this tour more – a 5-star experience from start to finish!
