South West (Kerry)Guide was updated: 2024年9月16日
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the islands off the coast of Kerry are a haven of remote wilderness. An ancient and undisturbed place, the islands have preserved tracks of 350 million year old creatures, and a flourishing sense of tradition. Towering cliffs, sandy beaches, windswept hills and rare flora and fauna combine to create some of Ireland's most postcard-perfect landscapes.

The Blasket Islands - Na Blascaodaí

Marvel at nature in its purest state in the deserted and wild Blasket Islands. Bird, seal and whale watchers are particularly fond of this wildlife-rich place. Don't miss the 3.5km loop walk, which takes in spectacular views at the mountain's summit. Visit the Blasket Centre to learn more about the island's unique history and culture. The islands are a must-see on any Kerry itinerary: take the ferry from Dunquin on the Dingle Peninsula.

The Skellig Islands are world renowned for their ornithological, archaeological and cultural significance. A distinctly rocky landscape ("Skeilig" means rock in the ocean!), Little Skellig is a birdwatcher's paradise with 27,000 pairs of gannets, while Skellig Míchael is the home of the early Christian St. Fionan's Monastery - a UNESCO world heritage site. Make sure to visit the curious and unique Beehive huts - iconic, rocky huts built by Augustinian monks on what was then believed to be the edge of the world. Bnus fact: Star Wars fans will delight in the fact that this island is featured in Episode VII: The Force Awakens! GET THERE: Reach the Skelligs by taking the ferry from Portmagee, Ballinskelligs or Caherdaniel.
