点评:We were so lucky that we were the first trip in a week to get to go to Skellig Michael. The force was definitely with us since I did not book an extra trip the next day in case ours was cancelled. We did our tour through Skellig Michael Boat trips and our boat was Lady Clare. The skies were cloudy when we left the dock and the water was a little rough on the way there. Several people on our boat were sick, so if you have a tendency for sea sickness, bring your sea bands (the boat provides the buckets). Once on the island, we had 2 and 1/2 hours to explore, which is plenty of time. Again the force was with us because the clouds parted and we saw the sun for the first time in days. You can climb the stairs at your own pace, so take your time. My daughter is afraid of heights so she bear crawled in some spots to keep her footing. When you get to the top of the steps where all of the beehive huts are located, there is a guide that gives the history of the island and the monks that lived there. You can walk inside the huts, so we took full advantage of getting some alone time while most of our tour mates were listening to the guide. I think there was only one other tour group on the island with ours, so it really is a nice intimate experience and you are able to get many clean photos. We had started heading down long before they told us our time was up. We used the free time to use the restrooms. When it was time to leave, they gave a quick view of the side of the island, showing us where the monks used to arrive before a dock was built. They also passed by Little Skellig and talked about the birds before we headed back. This was such an amazing experience and worth the money.
翻译:我们很幸运,我们是一周内第一批前往斯凯利格·迈克尔岛的游客。由于第二天我没有预订额外的行程,以防我们的行程被取消,所以力量肯定与我们同在。我们乘坐斯凯利格·迈克尔岛游船游览,我们的船是 Lady Clare。我们离开码头时天空阴沉,途中海浪有些大。我们船上的几个人都晕船了,所以如果你有晕船的倾向,请带上你的防晕船带(船上提供水桶)。到达岛上后,我们有 2 个半小时的时间探索,时间很充裕。力量再次与我们同在,因为云层散开了,我们几天来第一次看到了太阳。您可以按照自己的节奏爬楼梯,所以慢慢来。我的女儿恐高,所以她在一些地方爬来爬去以保持站立。当您到达台阶顶部时,那里有所有的蜂巢小屋,那里有一位导游,向您介绍这个岛屿的历史以及居住在那里的僧侣。小屋内可以步行,因此我们充分利用了这段独处的时间,而大多数旅游团的同伴都在听导游讲解。我想岛上只有另一个旅游团和我们一起,所以这真的是一次非常亲密的体验,你可以拍到很多干净的照片。早在他们告诉我们时间到了之前,我们就开始往下走了。我们利用空闲时间去洗手间。到了离开的时候,他们快速地带我们看了一眼岛屿的一侧,向我们展示了修道士在建造码头之前曾经到达的地方。在我们返回之前,他们还经过了小斯凯利格岛,并谈论了鸟类。这是一次非常棒的体验,物有所值。
