Once you reach the boat tour area, you will need to book a tour that offers access to Skellig Falcon. Several boat operators offer trips to the falconry site, which is located on the mainland. It's advisable to check the schedules and availability in advance, especially during peak tourist seasons, as spots can fill quickly.
