Description
The Skellig Rocks is one of many scenic attractions in the Kerry region. Close to Bolus Head, it is famous for the puffins and gannets (40,000 of the latter) which inhabit it.
The 'Skellig Experience' visitor attraction was opened in 1992 to make the four treasures of the offshore Skellig islands more easily understood by all. The exhibition themes are the history and archaeology of Skellig Michael's early Christian monastery, the sea birds, their habitat and worldwide travels, the lighthouses which have given 161 years of service to mariners and the Underwater Skellig, which has many interesting creatures and plants.
The exhibition also has a 16 minute audiovisual show and interesting exhibits on all aspects of the Skelligs.
