Shrouded in mist and mystery alike, the Skellig Islands are a remote pair of rocky islands that once played host to an early Christian monastery ⛰️🌊⛰️ These days the islands are only inhabited by puffins and their pals — but those fond of a bit of adventure can hop aboard one of the local boat tours and explore Skellig Michael! Have you ever been lucky enough to visit them? 📸 @matthewmurphyphotography . . . @experience_kerry #KeepDiscovering #WildAtlanticWay #Staycation2021 #DiscoverIreland #IgersIreland #TravelIreland #Insta_Ireland #IrishSummer #Summer2021 #Kerry #CoKerry #Skelligs #SkelligIslands #SkelligMichael
