7Skellig Michael Mountain, Ireland

Rugged, remote, and treacherous; the rocky island located just off the western coast of Ireland is one of the dangerous tourist destinations in the world.

Home to 600 uneven steps that lead to ancient monasteries, getting on to the site of Skellig Michael Mountain is quite a challenge as tourists have to take an hour-long boat across rough waters, and in many instances, boats cannot even dock because of high tides. While tourism is on rising after this spot was featured in Star Wars The Force Awakens, the government became wary due to the rock falls, rough weather conditions, and safety issues on the island. Only 4 boat licenses are granted every year and a limited number of tourists get a chance to visit Skellig Michael Mountain.
