– I took the one less travelled and that’s what made all the difference”

Itinerary

The Ring of Kerry is a world-famous route following the N70, N71 & N72 roads in a circular direction around the Iveragh peninsula. The route starts in the town of Killarney and passes through the towns and villages of (in order): Killorglin, Cahersiveen, Waterville, Sneem, and finally back to Killarney.

A private tour of the Ring of Kerry has great advantages. Of course you can visit the well known places of interest (for example:Torc Waterfall, Muckross House and Gardens, Kerry Bog Village and the Coomakista Pass ). In addition, we can show you lesser known places that are equally impressive;

The Skelligs Ring boasts panoramic views of massive cliffs. The Skellig Islands can be seen in the distance. On Valentia Island, humans have been active from at least 4,500 B.C. Along with stunning scenery, Valentia Island is home to the Skellig Experience and Valentia Heritage Museum. At the Valentia Slate Quarry, to this day slate is being mined. Slate from here was used for the Opera House in Paris and Westminster Palace in London!

Ballycarbery Castle built by The McCarthtys dates from medieval times and as old as it is, it still dominate the area this present-day! On our private tour, we can stop anywhere you like. You will not miss any Kodak-moments and we can advise you on great places to have lunch, coffee or an Irish pint of plain. Several variations on the official route exist, that include for example Valentia Island and Saint Finian’s Bay.

The tour can take you to all these places, including of course the famous highlights such as The Kerry Woolen Mills, Kerry Bog Village, Derrynane House and Gardens, Valentia Island, Muckross House and Ross Castle.

Relax in safety and comfort while you experience the beauty of this region.
