Our trip with Aqua Terra...

Julie_A, Apr 2026

Our 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.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hello, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely review. We are delighted you enjoyed your tour with us, and we look forward to welcoming you and your group back onboard in the future. Thanks again, Brendan & Elizabeth.

This tour delivered. Comfortable ride out and back to the Skelligs. The team was professional and friendly. The recorded tour guide part was great with interesting facts of the area as well as additional details from the crew. The Skelligs were absolutely breathtaking, and were captivating views from every angle. Do yourself a favor and book this tour. This felt like the “once in a lifetime” experience and I was happy to have done it.
