Valentia Island

A relatively new tourist attraction on Valentia Island is the Skellig Experience (near the bridge). The Visitor Center (opening times given) provides information about the Skellig Islands and about the life and work of the monks who lived there from the sixth to the 13th centuries. Another exhibition is devoted to the seabirds and the underwater world of the islands. From Valentia Island comfortable excursion ships make regular trips around the islands, which tower above the water like the summits of sunken mountains.
