What To Expect
Dingle
Do you want to marvel at something? Once you’ve experienced the vast and beautiful region of Dingle Peninsula, you’ll understand why we love it so much. It’s a place where glorious beaches hug luscious shorelines. Where the traditions of a mysterious and passionate culture remain part of the everyday, from ruins to towns. All you will experience is beauty for yourself as we leave Killarney Town and head south towards Dingle Peninsula. You’ll understand why it’s a popular filming location spot and might even recognise scenes from Star Wars: The Last Jedi as we coast around.
We then journey along Slea Head Drive (or Slí Cheann Sléibhe if you want to practice the local tongue), one of Ireland’s most scenic routes. Make sure you’re not napping as we coast along this circular route. Trust us, you’ll kick yourself later if you miss these views. There’s so much to love along the way, and we’ll keep our options open as we drive. Perhaps you’ll stop in at Tóchar Maothaithe – Ireland's famous beehive huts. Or maybe the Famine Cottages, bleak histories with an incredible view.

5.00A really spectacular coastline with wild rugged beaches, fabulous view points and pretty well maintained roads. The Coumernaole beach and the viewpoints there are breathtaking with the surf rising high and carving out the rocky coastline which rises vertically above the waters. It’s no wonder some of the the Star Wars scenes were filmed here. This was a really good time to visit with the slanting sun rays adding to the magic and the lack of crowds making this a lovely personal experience. The weather too was pretty good as long as you dressed in layers.

5.00WOW what a beautiful journey. The scenery is breathtaking. The green of the mountains and fields, the blue of the ocean, the cliffs and beaches all in one tour. It was made all the more enjoyable by Mike who is retired but took on this journey and I’m so glad he did. He shared facts and anecdotes. He was wonderfully friendly and funny. Guides make all the difference and I haven’t met a bad one in Ireland yet! One little note, for the sake of everybody else, when the guide is talking, don’t talk.
Good bus tour

4.00It was good. Spent 2.5 hours in Dingle, a little too much time in my opinion. But everyone has an opinion.
Great day in Dingle
