What To Expect

Conor Pass

Conor Pass rises 456 feet vertically from the sea, to serve as a passageway between the Sliabh Mish Range and Mount Brandon. It is Ireland's highest mountain road. This winding, alpine route offers breathtaking views for those brave enough to travel the precipitous road where Blackface Mountain sheep are more abundant than cars. The pass's summit offers breathtaking views of Brandon Bay to the north and Dingle Bay to the south. As we move on, the landscape transitions to a deep glacial cirque, dotted with magnificent alpine lakes and waterfalls. Many travellers skip this route because it is difficult, but with Mossie's Tours, you are free to sit back and enjoy the view.

Slea Head Drive

Where the Dingle Peninsula meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Slea Head Drive winds and turns along the rocky shoreline. This 30 km (18m) stretch of the well-known Wild Atlantic Way has been hailed by National Geographic as one of the world's most picturesque locations. Sit back and let our skilled drivers take you along this breathtaking journey as you discover well-known sites like Ventry Beach, ancient ringforts, and beehive huts along with breath-taking vistas of the Blaskets and Skellig Islands. Even Hollywood could not withstand Slea Head's allure. Some of Hollywood's finest epic movies, such as Ryan's Daughter, Far and Away, and Star Wars, have used this region as their setting. Use Mossie's Tours to discover the ethereal beauty.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that this incredible day we spent with Mossie was THE HIGHLIGHT of our entire wonderful week in Ireland. He took us to hidden gems we never would have had been able to see without him. His wealth of knowledge was only matched by his sense of humor and the passion he shares with his guests. We were entertained, fascinated, touched, and amazed by the experiences he related, the places he took us, and the scenery around us. His own memories lent a personal touch that we treasured and will never forget. Please be sure you include Mossie’s Tours in your trip to Ireland. There simply is no one better. Chef’s kiss.
Highlight of our trip!

The highlight of our wonderful trip to Ireland! Mossie knows everything about the area (geographically, historically, etc) and is very engaging and a great storyteller. Make sure he tells you about his own upbringing on a farm in the area. An extra kindness: I realized about an hour after our tour ended that I had left a shirt in the van. Mossie was kind enough to deliver it to us at the pub where we were having post-tour pints!
Terrific day with Mossie.

Mossie is the consummate guide, with very safe driving skills and an impressive knowledge base. Our day flew by as he catered our drive tour to our desires and physical capabilities. We could not have asked for more.

My wife, daughter, and I did a full day trip with Helen as our guide on the Dingle Peninsula this past July. Helen was a fabulous guide. She is a safe, concientious driver and she kindly picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Brandon. We wanted to see the captivating views on the coast, walk on a beach, and see some historical and archaeological sites, as well as visit the Blasket Centre museum, and we got to do all of that. Helen thoughtfully helped us decide what exactly to do and she was full of interesting information and stories. She was the perfect guide for us. Helen was very good with our daughter, who is 11 years old and loves animals, and helped us ensure that she had a good trip full of interesting adventures. The weather was cloudy and misty with some rain but that was what we were expecting and Helen took us to a sandy beach for a nice stroll during one of the relative dry periods of the day. My family and I are Americans who are proud of our Irish heritage and I'm grateful that Helen taught us so much about this part of Ireland and its natural environment, vibrant Gaeltacht culture, and long history, including how its people were affected by the Great Famine. I highly recommend Helen as a guide for anyone who is interested in a deep, immersive type of experience. I am fluent in Irish and I greatly enjoyed chatting as Gaeilge with Helen, who is a native Irish speaker from this area and a gifted conversationalist in Irish and English. To spend a day exploring this magnificent corner of the world with a kind, erudite local guide such as Helen was a once-in-a-lifetime type of experience for my family and I but we are planning on doing it again the next time we visit Ireland.

Mossie was an incredible tour guide. Loved having a tour with him as he grew up in the area and his first hand knowledge of the area and history added another level of an already great tour. We saw some incredible views, learned some interesting history and Mossie was one of the best tour guides we have ever had.
AMAZING Slea Head & Dingle Peninsula Tour with Mossie

HIGHLY RECOMMEND the full day private tour of Slea Head and the Dingle Peninsula with Mossie’s Tours! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland. In fact we did several tours and wished Mossie had been our guide for all of them! Mossie’s kindness, humor, knowledge, passion, historical insights, and personal stories of growing up and living there made it feel less like a tour and more like exploring the area with a local friend. Mossie tailored the stops to our interests and ensured we saw all the not-to-miss sights like Connor Pass, Coumeenoole Beach, Dun Chaoin Pier, the beehive huts, Gallarus Oratory, and the stunning views of the Irish countryside and coastal vistas along the Wild Atlantic Way. He even shared a few of his favorite hidden gems that we never would have seen on our own like a hike up to a glacial lake with a waterfall that was absolutely breathtaking. Other highlights included enjoying lunch with Mossie at a great local pub (which of course included a Guinness or two), holding a baby sheep, and he even arranged a special sheepdog demonstration that was amazing! More than just a tour, Mossie made this a very special and exceptional experience of a lifetime for our family that we’ll treasure forever.

Mossie is a fabulous tour guide. Absolutely fantastic. We spent a day with him as he showed us the Dingle Peninsula. He is knowledgeable, friendly, funny, charming, and incredibly helpful. He showed us the sights, gave us insights, picked up on things we were interested in, and kept sure entertained. One of the best and most enjoyable tours we’ve ever taken.
A wonderful day on the Dingle Peninsula!

We had an incredible cultural tour of the Dingle Peninsula with Mossie, and I can’t recommend him highly enough! Our group of five, ranging from the early 20s to seniors, thoroughly enjoyed the day. Mossie picked us up promptly at 9:30 a.m. from our accommodations and kept us entertained and engaged well past 5 p.m. He has a wealth of knowledge about Dingle’s history, artifacts, and Irish history as a whole, which he shared with enthusiasm and passion. Along the way, he took us to breathtaking sights and fascinating historical sites, while also catering to our individual wishes—whether it was stopping to feed and pet lambs or ensuring we could step foot in the ocean before leaving Ireland. Mossie’s warmth, humour, and expertise made the day unforgettable. I will definitely look him up again when I return to Ireland. Highly recommended!

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Massie. We had two days with him, both of which he picked us up at our location and arrived promptly for us to depart. On our first day with him, our family of 6 (2 and 8 year old boys, my wife and I, and her parents) took off on an 8 hour adventure around the Ring of Kerry. The weather was unfortunately not the best that day and the trip was the same day as a bike race, but Mossie knew the area so well he was able to get us around the heavily trafficked areas of bikers. When driving he was engaging to all of us in the car, giving a history of the area, from its people to its soil, and the impact history has had on its people. He took us to epic views that we peaked through clouds to see and felt like we had experienced them all through Mossie’s descriptions, and he made sure we were well fed with stops at some of the best local fare we’d had and wonderful chocolate. On our second day through the Dingle Peninsula we got the long awaited family photos we’d been hoping for with the perfect Ireland backdrop. Mossie also took my wife and I up with our 8 year old to hike to a hidden lake and that’s the scene from this photo with Mossie and our son. Our fondest memories of this trip though will be getting to know Mossie, him sharing a couple of his songs with us, letting us feel connected to Ireland, and the kindness he shared with us. Can’t recommend him enough!
