Spend two full days exploring County Kerry’s coastal drama: the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head’s wild headlands one day, and the Ring of Kerry with lakes and mountain views the next. This coach tour pairs live commentary and short shore walks with iconic Atlantic panoramas.

A damp morning air from Lough Leane meets the coach as you pull out of Killarney; peat-scented hills slide past the window and the driver announces whether today’s route is Dingle and Slea Head or the Ring of Kerry. Over two full days you trade the tidy streets of Killarney for cliffs that drop into the Atlantic, windswept headlands, and a ribbon of road that traces the Iveragh Peninsula.

History
The Iveragh and Dingle peninsulas are rich with early medieval and monastic sites; the Skelligs offshore hold a notable 6th–12th century monastic complex.
Conservation
Coastal habitats are sensitive—stay on marked paths, take litter home, and respect wildlife; conservation efforts limit access to fragile sites like Skellig Michael to protect nesting birds and archaeological remains.
