What to expect

Day 1 — Airport Meet & Greet

Meet on arrival at Dublin / Shannon Airport.  Travel southwards in the direction of Limerick and Adare.  Stop at Adare for photos of this very quaint picturesque village of thatched cottages and ancient monastic heritage.  On towards Newcastlewest for visit of it’s superb Castle.   Continue towards Ballyseede Castle for  overnight.

Day 2 – Private Tour of Dingle & Slea Head Drive

A private tour of Dingle & Slea Head drive for breathtaking scenery on the Wild Atlantic Way.  Stop when you want and for as long as you wish to enjoy this amazing landscape.  In my 20 odd years touring Ireland, the Dingle Peninsula is my favourite of all.  Green fields, white sandy beaches and the rugged Wild Atlantic Way.  Sheep, seagulls, donkeys and Dingle harbour which even has its own resident dolphin called ‘fungie’.  The dolphin is in the headlines at the moment as is gone missing.  He has been here for 37 years.  Dingle is very colorful with quirky shops and great restaurants.

See where the filming of ‘Ryan’s Daughter‘ took place on Slea Head Drive. It has amazing views onto the Blasket Islands in the Atlantic ocean, & it is said that on a clear day the statue of liberty can be seen from here!

Listen to the Gaelic language being spoken.  Visit Gallarus Oratory and hear all about St Brendan’s voyage. . . he discovered America before Columbus. Return via ‘The Conor Pass’ with it’s stunning views in the mountainous landscape overlooking Tralee Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way.  The road that descends the mountain is very narrow but your local driver is well used to it!  You just sit back and take it all in.  A very memorable day.

Day 3 – Private Ring of Kerry Tour

With over 20 years experience, we guarantee a great day of sightseeing on our Ring of Kerry Day Tour.  Travel in comfort with a top rated driver/guide.  Our tour includes a tour of Valentia Island and the Skellig Ring at the very Western tip of the Ring of Kerry.  If you take a coach tour you will not get to see any of this breathtaking scenery which is why a private tour is so much better.  The roads tend to be narrow here which makes it unsuitable for coaches.  Let us worry about the roads while you relax and take in the scenery and the stories told by your professional driver/guide.
Our itinerary is as follows; 
Visit Ballycarbery castle ruin and Cahergall fairy fort
Take car ferry to Valentia Island. (we can drive there if you prefer)
Stop at tetrapod trackway and Valentia Slate Quarry for photographs
Lunch at Portmagee.  
Continue to Kerry cliffs (optional walk)
