Itinerary
- Cork: Collection from Cork City hotel and driving to Killarney.
- Muckross House, Gardens & Traditional Farms: Step into the heart of Killarney National Park, a breathtaking natural wonder that captures the true spirit of Ireland’s wild beauty. Surrounded by majestic mountains and ancient woodlands, this park is home to the serene Lakes of Killarney, where glassy waters reflect the sky and forested shores invite peaceful exploration.
Wander through the tranquil Muckross Gardens, rich with colorful blooms, shaded pathways, and sweeping views of Muckross Lake and the distant McGillycuddy’s Reeks. Then, journey back in time with a visit to the hauntingly beautiful ruins of Muckross Abbey, a 15th-century Franciscan monastery nestled among yew trees and quiet stone cloisters. - Sneem: Nestled between the mountains and the sea, Sneem is a charming and colorful village on the world-famous Ring of Kerry. Known for its warm hospitality, local crafts, and scenic views, it’s the perfect spot for a relaxing stop along our journey.
Stroll through the village's peaceful streets, browse quaint shops, and enjoy a coffee or treat at a local café. Sneem also offers beautiful riverside walks and sculpture trails for those who want to stretch their legs and soak in the views. - Waterville: Located on the scenic Ring of Kerry, Waterville is a picturesque seaside village nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Lough Currane. Famous for its stunning coastal views and connection to film legend Charlie Chaplin, this peaceful stop is rich in charm and photo opportunities.
Enjoy a relaxing walk along the Promenade, snap a photo with the Charlie Chaplin statue, and take in the salty sea air. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite, a scenic stroll, or a glimpse into local heritage, Waterville has something to offer. - Valentia Island: Cross over to one of Ireland’s most westerly points — the breathtaking Valentia Island. Rich in natural beauty, history, and geological significance, Valentia offers a truly unique experience on the Ring of Kerry.
From the dramatic cliffs of Bray Head to the prehistoric Tetrapod Trackway, this island stop is a favorite for both nature lovers and history buffs. You'll enjoy sweeping ocean views, fascinating stories, and the feeling of being at the edge of the world. - Killorglin: Nestled on the banks of the River Laune, Killorglin is a lively market town best known for hosting one of Ireland’s oldest and most unusual festivals — the Puck Fair. With its charming streets, local shops, and views of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks, Killorglin offers a delightful blend of tradition and scenery.
Stroll through the town center, visit local artisan spots, and hear the fascinating story of how a wild goat became king for three days each year. It’s a great place to enjoy a cultural break and stretch your legs during the tour. - Cork: As our unforgettable day along the Ring of Kerry comes to a close, we’ll begin our comfortable drive back to Cork. Sit back, relax, and take in the final views of the stunning Kerry landscapes as we wind through charming countryside, coastal roads, and mountain passes.
It’s the perfect time to reflect on the highlights of the day — from the Victorian elegance of Muckross House, to the wild beauty of Valentia Island, and the coastal charm of Waterville and Sneem. Browse your photos, or simply enjoy the peaceful journey home.
