Full description
Take a 9-hour guided bus tour of the enchanting county of Kerry and admire magnificent scenery from soaring hills to rolling landscapes scattered with traditional stone walls. Enjoy the unsurpassed, rugged coastline and the buzz of the traditional town of Killarney. Board your bus at the meeting point in Cork, then feel Irish rural life from days gone by coming alive at your first stop at the Kerry Bog Village in Glenbeigh. Wander through thatched cottages, visit a traditional farmhouse, and meet the resident Irish wolfhounds. You might even choose to treat yourself to a little something to drink at the Red Fox Inn. From Glenbeigh, travel around the Iveragh Peninsula, along the most beautiful stretch of coastline. The next stops are at Waterville and Coomakista, two of Kerry’s most scenic spots with panoramic views stretching from the mountains to the sea. Look toward the ocean and catch a glimpse of the iconic Skellig Islands, Celtic pyramids reaching out from the sea. These natural monuments were famously featured in the recent Star Wars movie. Make your next stop on the famous Ring of Kerry in Sneem, a picturesque Irish seaside village nestled in the sheltered waters of Kenmare Bay with wonderful choices for a traditional Irish lunch. Choose bacon and cabbage — an Irish staple — or, since you are beside the sea, freshly-caught fish served with chips. Lunch is at your own expense. After the lunch stop, prepare for a drive you will never forget. Verging deep into the MacGillycuddy's Reek mountains and the moody Black Valley, numerous scenic viewpoints can be found along the route: Moll’s Gap mountain pass, Ladies View lookout (a favorite spot of Queen Victoria), and even a Leprechaun crossing. Along the shores of Lough Leane, drive through the woodlands of Ireland’s last native oak trees. Then, arrive in Killarney, often voted the most beautiful town in Ireland. Killarney has so much to offer. Opt to spend your time seeing the surrounding area from a traditional horse and cart or walk the streets soaking up the atmosphere. Finally, hop back on the bus for the return journey to Cork where you will be dropped off at the starting point.

Nine hours sounds like a long time but it was well spent!! Fabulous views, while our guide provided the perfect balance between history and culture and great suggestions for a stop to eat. People, be nice to goats they may save your life, never cut down a hawthorn tree and book this tour!

The trip was awesome.....Mr John Lomansy was our guide and I must say that he is the best Storyteller I have ever seen....The transport was on time and really comfortable. The ring of kerry trip offered us the best scenic view trip in Ireland....The climate was bit cloudy and wet, so we missed some views...other than that the entire journey was marvellous ❤️.

It was a very great tour from Alfred Street Cork, where the pick up was. We went on drive close to Blarney Castle where the driver and so also tour guide mentioned the story behind the famous story of "kissing the blarney stone" many othere stories from the past so history betwenn irish and nothern irish as well as their longer past relationship to UK was mentioned, it was very interesting and great to hear so many facts about Ireland while we all (very small group guess max 15 person) where enjoying the beautiful green landscape during our trip to the Ring of Kerry.Also the Stop at RedfoxInn was very nice, especially the irish wolfdog where so gentle (to be honest it was my first irish wolfdog kiss that I got since I am living here in Ireland) Also the other parts as sightseeing trip to the cities as well as enjoying lunch and have some nice bakery sweets was good. Especially couples should join this visit because there was on the journey a "kissing tunnel", where kissing brings luck
