Itinerary
Step back in time and take a wonderful look at Ireland’s rural history, heritage and lifestyle. Visitors will experience the culture, customs and living conditions of our great ancestors through the famine years, and late 19th century.
Sheepdog demonstrations on the Ring of Kerry! Watch the amazing skills demonstrated by Kells sheepdogs as they herd the Sheep in the Kerry countryside. A unique skill that is well worth viewing. Demonstations take place April-Mid October. * Optional (There is a separate charge for the demonstration - cash only.)
We 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.
We make a brief stop in the beautiful village of Waterville which is stunningly situated between the wild Atlantic Ocean and Lough Currane. Uniquely, this is the only village on the Ring of Kerry that is actually right on the coast. Enjoy a walk along the seafront or “Promenade” as the locals call it, where you can taste the salt water in the air.
After lunch we stop at Coomakishta, a mountain-high viewpoint overlooking the ocean, islands and rural landscapes of South Kerry.
Situated in the Killarney National Park, Ladies View is one of Ireland’s best-known and loved panoramas. Enjoy the magnificent view of the valleys, lakes and mountains, including the Black Valley, Upper and Lower Lakes and some of the Killarney National Park.

5Do this tour :)
Enjoyed views and dogs and chocolate and beach - so much in one tour! Driver was safe and knowledgeable. We really loved our tour!
5Fun tour
Kevin was a great tour guide. We saw so much! He had a lot of knowledge of all the different towns and showed us a wonderful time.
5Great day
Kevin was a wonderful tour guide! He had lots of stories - some even were true. He knew the background of the places along the route which added depth to our sightseeing. The scenery is beautiful, if course, with the appropriate number of stops that allowed the right amount of time at each. The sheepdog show and big village were both interesting. Worth the small admission fees. I would recommend this tour.
5Great tour. Don’t miss it
Kevin our driver was amazing! You could tell he was passionate about Kerry and he had tons of stories about history. I highly recommend

About Killarney
Killarney is a small County Kerry town beside a national park of lakes, mountains and old woodland, and the usual start of the Ring of Kerry.
Killarney National Park, on the town's doorstep, takes in three lakes and ancient oak and yew woods, with the MacGillycuddy's Reeks rising to the west, where Carrauntoohil is the highest mountain in Ireland. Muckross House is a Victorian mansion with gardens on a lake shore, Muckross Abbey is a ruined friary, Ross Castle stands on the water, and Torc Waterfall drops through the woods. The park shelters Ireland's only native herd of red deer.
