The road peels away from Killarney and the Atlantic reappears—grey, restless, and daring you to look farther. On this private day tour the landscape keeps changing: narrow mountain switchbacks on Conor Pass open to upland lakes and sheep-scattered slopes, then the coast tightens into cliffs and carved headlands along Slea Head, with the Blasket Islands sitting like weather-beaten sentries offshore.
