Discover the rugged beauty of Ireland’s southwest coast over two unforgettable days with Deros Coach Tours. Travel along the legendary Ring of Kerry and the dramatic Dingle Peninsula, soaking in mountains, coastlines, and culture.
Killarney, situated in County Kerry on Ireland’s southwest coast, is the gateway to some of the country’s most dramatic landscapes and cultural heritage. Deros Coach Tours offers a two-day combination journey that takes you deep into the heart of this wild and varied region. The first day covers the Ring of Kerry, a 179-kilometer circuit renowned for rugged mountain ranges, glimmering lakes, and charming villages where traditional Irish life thrives. Along this route, visitors encounter the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks mountain range—the highest in Ireland—standing sharp and wild against the often moody Atlantic sky. Quaint towns like Kenmare and Sneem offer a glimpse into local crafts and cuisine, while sweeping views across Coumshingaun Lough and the lakes of Killarney showcase nature’s quiet power.
Day two shifts focus to the Dingle Peninsula and the Slea Head Drive, stretching along a striking Atlantic coastline marked by ancient stone forts, isolated beaches, and craggy headlands. The peninsula juts westward as one of Europe’s westernmost points, its cliffs and promontories carved from shale and sandstone. The area brims with history—from early Christian sites like Gallarus Oratory to the rich storytelling traditions still alive in Dingle town. Deros Coach Tours blends these landscapes and stories into an efficient, hassle-free itinerary, ideal for travelers who want to maximize their exposure to Kerry’s finest outdoor and cultural offerings without navigating driving or planning logistics.
What makes Deros Coach Tours stand apart is their local expertise, comfortable coaches fit for Ireland’s narrow roads, and a keen sense of timing to get you to vantage points when light and weather align. This combination tour is a practical choice for anyone wanting a deep, well-rounded experience of Kerry’s wild beauty and heritage in just two days. Whether you’re a nature lover, history enthusiast, or cultural traveler, this trip provides a clear, accessible path to Ireland’s iconic coastal and mountain landscapes.
