is 3 island trips to many

We are trying to decided if 3 island trips is to many.
Want to see skelling micheal and one of the Aran island. But also considering Great blasket island.

They all seem different, but do not want to see all three if not worth it.

These sort of questions always surprise me. How do you expect complete strangers to know whether something will be "worth it" to you? I think you need to stop and list your top destinations that interest you in somewhat of a ranked order. This will help to give you an idea of what truly interests you and how much of a priority going to all three islands is for you.

How you feel about this is really the only thing that matters.

They are all quite different. If you want to see all three of them, go for it! People do all kinds of different things while in Ireland, like having a pint in every Murphy pub they see, or finding every round tower.

Enjoy your trip!

Great Blasket Island is my favorite place in Europe. Inishmore is right up there. They are very different. I’m sorry to say I have not been to Skellig Michael, but it looks very different than the other two. I would not hesitate to visit all three in one trip.

The islands off Ireland and Scotland are just magical.
