About

After meeting up in Killarney we take a scenic tour to Slea Head at the edge of the Dingle Peninsula. With miles of amazing scenery and accessible coastline to explore, we visit sandy beaches and view the dramatic walkway that winds down the cliff to the iconic Dunquin Pier below. We’ll also travel along the backroads and small lanes that meander along the hillsides, through the farmlands, past ancient churches, castles, standing stones and even farm tracks that end abruptly on the wild Atlantic coastline. After a break for lunch in the fishing town of Dingle, we tour the mountain road to the top of the Conor Pass, the highest road in Ireland, and are rewarded with panoramic views of the area. As we head back to Killarney, we visit a number of Storm beaches, standing stones and an incredibly scenic castle on the shoreline of Dingle Bay. Our last stop is at the 4 miles of sand dunes that create the famous Inch Strand, and we arrive back in Killarney around 5 – 6 pm
