A wind-swept road climbs out of Dingle town and the Atlantic unfurls to the west, waves angling toward steep cliffs while sheep graze on rocky slopes. On a private full-day tour of the Dingle Peninsula, the driver-guide negotiates narrow lanes and hairpin turns, pausing where the view demands attention: Connor Pass’s rim, Coumeenoole’s strand, and the high cliffs that watch over the Blasket Islands.
