What to expect

Enjoy the sights of the world-famous Ring of Kerry. You’ll see breathtaking scenery like Ireland’s highest mountain, Carrauntoohil, experience Killarney National Park, stroll through the Kerry Bog Village, and more.

The first thing you’ll see when leaving Killarney is the view over the McGillycuddy Reeks mountain range, with the famous Gap of Dunloe clearly visible, slicing into the mountain range.

From there it’s on to the Kerry Bog Village, which offers fascinating insights into how people lived and worked in Ireland in the 18th century.

Following this there is an optional additional stop to Kells Sheepdog demonstrations (April-October), a chance to see the amazing skills demonstrated by this team first hand!

We then travel through Caherciveen and as we are using a smaller coach we are able to drive on the spectacular ‘Skellig Ring’ on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean to stop at St Finian’s Bay and Skellig Chocolates. This beautiful area offer uninterrupted and unrivalled views of the iconic Skellig islands.

The next stop is the village of Waterville, where you can enjoy a walk along the seafront while taking in the charming surroundings. Majestic viewing points offer stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean. This is where the coach will stop for free time for lunch and shopping.

After this we stop at Coomakishta, a mountain-high viewpoint overlooking the ocean, islands and rural landscapes of South Kerry. Our next stop is a short break in the colourful village of Sneem before we return to Killarney through the rugged Moll’s Gap and take in the beauty of Killarney National Park. Our final stop will be at Ladies View as it overlooks the National Park and the three Lakes of Killarney before we return to the town at approximately 5pm.
