Full description
This full-day tour from Dublin to Kerry takes you to a mystical and unspoiled region of Ireland that has attracted visitors for hundreds of years. The region boasts some of the finest coastal scenery in Europe. You’ll discover quaint towns and enjoy panoramic views of a landscape that was carved out of rock during the last Ice Age. Detailed Itinerary Adare On the way to Kerry you’ll stop at one of Ireland's most picturesque villages. Adare’s thatched cottages and lovely stone buildings line the village's broad main street. You’ll see medieval monasteries and ruins as well. Killarney National Park This is probably the most beautiful and admired national parks in the world. Admire the stunning views of the Lakes of Killarney and Black Valley at stops in Aghadoe and at Torc Waterfall. Enjoy a stroll by the lakes of Killarney. Town of Killarney Killarney is the best-known town in County Kerry and the gateway to the region. Surrounded by mountains and lakes, it’s easy to see why it has often been voted the best place to visit in Ireland. Take some time to explore the town. Torc Waterfall See this 18-meter-high waterfall that cascades through Friars Glen. Take a walk through the wooded area and enjoy the tranquility. Killorglin You’ll pass through Killorglin, home of the Puck Fair, an ancient Celtic festival where a goat is crowned king of the village. Dating back to 1613, this is one of the oldest festivals in the world. You’ll also see part of the famed Ring of Kerry on this part of the tour. Dingle Bay Enjoy a panoramic drive along the famous Dingle Peninsula. Stop to take in amazing views of Dingle Bay, and enjoy a visit to famed Inch beach, where the wild Atlantic hugs the Celtic shores. Wild Atlantic Way Your drive along Dingle Bay and the Atlantic Coast continues with even more breathtaking views. You’ll also drive along the well-known Wild Atlantic Way, and head to the other side of the Dingle Peninsula, where you’ll have spectacular views of Tralee Bay and the remote landscapes of the Dingle area. Inch Beach Inch Beach, stretching along the Atlantic coast for miles, is one of the most famous beaches in Ireland. Stop for a walk on the sand and admire the views of a site that has appeared in many movies.

Very unforgettable trip in the county of Kerry. Jackie our guide and driver was very funny. He made the trip fun. The bus got stuck in the beach so he had to call for a tractor. That didnt ruin our trip, it’s a bit fascinating to watch them work on it. Kerry is so beautiful! I knew it’s a long trip, so didnt expect much. The two hour in Kilkenny was just right to walk around and have a nice lunch.

Very long bus ride. Almost 4-5 hours with small 2-3 stops of 20-30 minutes. The stay in Killarny was in our opinion too long, 2 hours 1 hour would have been more than enough. In addition, the route from there to the waterfall, back and back to the Muckross House could be done in one go. In the end we drove the same route 4 times and must have lost an hour because this route was very congested. Compensation came at Dingel Strand, mega. However, only 30 minutes. A stay of 2 hours would have been better. In itself a nice tour. Again, no thanks. Then rather spend a day on the beach there by car and explore for yourself. We liked Cliffs of Moher Tour better. Nevertheless, a compliment to the bus driver/guide.

Best Tour I had so far in Ireland. You will sit very very long in the bus, but it is so worthable as the bus drivers are great, friendly, and present interesting facts. You will see wonderful places on this tour as you normally just know as films. Also the bus was extremely comfortable! Had a great time with Paddywagon on this great tour! RECOMMENDABLE!
