Full description

Explore the mystical Ring of Kerry on a full-day guided tour from Cork. See the picturesque village of Waterville, Killarney National Park, panoramic views of Dingle Bay, and other famous areas of ancient Ireland.

After meeting your guide, enjoy a scenic drive to one of Ireland's most colorful and charming villages. You will see two village squares and a beautiful bridge in the village center. Pass through Killorglin, the home of the ancient Celtic festival known as the Puck Fair. 

Next, take in the amazing views of Dingle Bay, famous Inch Beach, and on a clear day, possibly even the Blasket Islands off the wild Atlantic coast.

You will admire the picturesque little village of Waterville that sits overlooking Ballinskelligs Bay and the Skellig Rocks with their early Christian monastery. Charlie Chaplin loved Waterville and was a frequent visitor. See the statue in his honor, unveiled in 1998.

Continue to the most beautiful and admired national park in Ireland, and take in the views of the Lakes of Killarney and the Black Valley during stops at Molls Gap and Leprechaun Crossing. Your next stop will be at the lovely 18-meter-high waterfall that cascades through the wooded Friar's Glenn and admires this site of natural beauty.

Finally, take some time to relax in Killarney and grab some refreshments before departing for Cork.

We had a really great time on this trip! Bit of a bumpy and late start, as there was a fellow passenger, who got aggressive with the driver, but he handled the situation really well, with maximum professionalism. After, even with the late start, we really enjoyed the programme, and there was not any disruption causing our trip. We went to a lot of beautiful places, heard so many funny or sometimes sad stories from our guide, John. To anyone, who wants to see the Ring of Kerry, but too afraid to rent a car for those roads, this trip is a must have! Thank you for the lovely tour!

We loved this trip!! Fantastic views, plenty of stops and John, our hilarious driver. It is a long day out but absolutely worth it if your expectations are realistic. The ring of Kerry is mostly views and to work in bathroom breaks/stops there are a few stops like a bog village, Killarney, ice cream in Sneem, and a waterfall. Some of these activities cost extra (bog village & horse carts in Killarney) but you don't have to do them - the stop in Killarney you can just walk around, the bog village has great Irish coffee and a gift shop, etc. We did them all and have no regrets! The lunch stop had fantastic food. Driver John was full of interesting facts and amazing jokes. Honestly he made the trip for us, thank you John for the entertainment! If you are a fun person, you will love this. If you are expecting a standard tour guide who just rattles off facts and drives between stops in slience, probably not for you. 10/10 would recommend!

Our tour guide, Aiden, was absolutely fantastic. He offered us so much knowledge and history about each town and area we passed through, was patient and accommodating, and stopped at so many amazing photo spots! He really enhanced the experience for us. The Ring of Kerry was breathtaking, and we had adequate time whenever we stopped in towns for food or attractions. I had the best time I could have asked for. Thank you!
