About

The Dingle Peninsula located in the south west coast of Ireland was once cited by The National Geographic as “the most beautiful place on earth” and TripAdvisor voting Dingle among the top one hundred destinations in the world.

No matter where you travel on the Dingle Peninsula, the views of hills, mountains, cliffs and sandy beaches and not forgetting Dingle Harbour home to Fungie the Dingle dolphin. Dingle a vibrant fishing port in the heart of the Peninsula is known for its colourful variety of shops and cosy pubs and café’s. Dingle is for the most part a Gaeltacht or Irish-speaking area, one of the few rural places in Ireland where this ancient language has not died out. Alongside the language, Irish traditional music and dance also flourish and play a key feature in the pubs every evening. Take a look at our itinerary below and if you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact us.
