Explore the Ring of Kerry from the Sea

Beautiful tour and very interesting! Crew was excellent and informative with history and facts of the area. The drive into the “cathedral” cave was stunning!

Great boat trip around the islands, puffins, gannets and seals, lots of local history plus beautiful scenery. A great day out thank you.

We had a wonderful tour around Valentia, our guide was so expert and entertaining. As well as hearing a about the history of Valentia we visited caves to see star... read more fish and Begnish Island to view the seals. All members of our party (grandparents and toddlers included) loved every minute of it. Cozy blankets were available onboard to keep everyone warm as the boat can get quite fast at times. All good fun.

I highly recommend a tour with Kerry Aqua Terra. We went on the special Heritage Week tour with guest speaker Jane Sheehan remembering the marine biologist Maud Delap. Everything about... read more it was great. Jane’s talk was fascinating and very informative. It was lovely to see Valentia from the water and also to find out more about it from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about all the local history and we learned many things. It was so interesting to see... read more places (we have seen from the road) from a different vantage point.

This is the third time we've used Kerry AquaTerra and every trip has been great. Brendan and Elizabeth are so welcoming and knowledgeable and really passionate about the area and... read more history. The Skelling Tour was such amazing value for money, the trip was over three hours long and they really took their time circling around each island, giving us plenty of time to take it all in and get loads of photos. They have audio guided headsets in multiple languages which were very easy to hear even over the noise of the boat. Would recommend bringing, water, snacks, sunscreen, hat and cover-ups. There is a toilet on board which was great. Really professional set up but with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Highly recommend this trip. Fantastic scenery, lovely guide Elizabeth and pilot (JP?). The sea was very choppy with spray and swells but it only added to the whole experience for... read more us. The Kerry coastline and the Skelligs were so impressive.

Being a Kerry native, it's easy to take for granted the gems right in our backyard.

So, taking a cue from that, our family, spanning three generations (ages 3... read more to 60's) - decided to embark on the Valentia Island Tour. I have to say, it was an experience that will stay etched in our memories for years to come.

From the get-go, the attention to detail was apparent. The provision of blankets was a thoughtful touch that kept us warm and dry, a genuine comfort, especially with the unpredictable weather we occasionally face!

Our guide, Elizabeth, was a veritable fountain of knowledge. Her ability to adapt our route, skirting an oncoming raincloud, was indicative of her professionalism. Super impressed!

A special highlight was watching my toddler nephew getting a chance to "drive" the boat. His joy and laughter were infectious, and it became a moment the entire family cherished.

The breathtaking views, and little history lessons made the 90 minutes fly by.

For both locals and visitors alike, I can state without hesitation that the Valentia Island Tour is an absolute must-do! This tour has our wholehearted recommendation.
