Several locations in the Dingle Peninsula have served as filming locations for Star Wars movies, particularly for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." One prominent spot is Ceann Sibeal (also known as Sybil Head), which was featured as the location for the Jedi Temple on the planet Ahch-To. The rugged cliffs and stunning scenery of Ceann Sibeal provided a fitting backdrop for key scenes involving Luke Skywalker and Rey. Additionally, the nearby island of Skellig Michael, although not technically part of the Dingle Peninsula, was also used extensively in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Skellig Michael served as the filming location for the remote Jedi hermitage where Luke Skywalker was found at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and where Rey seeks his guidance in "The Last Jedi." These Star Wars filming locations have further heightened the allure of the Dingle Peninsula for visitors, combining its natural beauty with the magic of cinematic storytelling.
The Gallarus Oratory is a remarkable ancient structure located on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Dating back to the early Christian period, it is believed to have been built between the 6th and 9th centuries AD.

It went great and was fun. It is an hour trip at sea to get to the Greater Blasket Island. And you need to be able to walk up hills and rocky shores. The guides and crew are helpful and amazing. The scenery and the story of the people of the island, beautiful.
5Absolutely breathtaking!
Our small group tour with Wes was incredible. He’s an experienced guide and the sites at all the stops are gorgeous. The baby lambs are so cute. I’m on my 4th week in Ireland and this was definitely the highlight for me.

About Dingle
Dingle is a brightly painted harbour town on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, with music pubs, Irish-speaking villages and wild Atlantic scenery.
Dingle, An Daingean in Irish, is a small fishing harbour on the Dingle Peninsula in the south-west of Ireland, in a district where Irish is still spoken in daily life. Its streets of painted shopfronts run up from the harbour, and in the evenings the pubs fill with traditional music sessions. Fishing boats still unload at the pier, and seafood is the town's trade.
