Itinerary
Pass by: A 19th-century stone tower on Carhoo Hill, built to guide ships into Dingle Harbour, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the area’s maritime history.
Pass by: A scenic, sheltered bay with a long sandy beach, rich in history from ancient settlements to its role in Irish mythology and maritime trade. Paudie Ó Sé Statue (Photo Opportunity) – A tribute to the legendary Kerry footballer outside his iconic Ventry pub, perfect for a memorable photo with a piece of GAA history.
Perched dramatically above Dingle Bay, Dunbeg Fort dates back to around 500 BCE and stands as one of Ireland’s finest examples of an ancient promontory fort. Its stone ramparts were built on a naturally defensive headland, protecting early settlers from coastal threats. Though much of the structure has succumbed to the Atlantic’s erosion, the site remains a powerful reminder of life along Ireland’s rugged western frontier.

This family-run farm offers a delightful blend of hands-on animal encounters and rich historical exploration. Get up close with adorable baby lambs in a welcoming farm setting. Visitors can cuddle and, during feeding times, bottle-feed these gentle creatures—a memorable experience for all ages. The farm's friendly atmosphere and knowledgeable hosts make it a highlight for families and animal lovers alike. Admission Fee: €4

Traveler reviews
Steve was an AMAZING tour guide!
Steve picked us up at our Airbnb which was way out in the boonies. He arrived about 10 minutes early, so he made sure he was punctual. He let us know that he was there, but he didn't hurry us to get going because he knew he was early. We were a private party of four, and he catered to our every need. He was a WEALTH of information and answered our every question in great detail. Very knowledgeable man! He was always concerned with giving us the experience that we wanted. It was raining most of the day, but we made the best of it. He knew everything we wanted to do and was sure to include it. We had a full day tour of the Dingle Peninsula, and it was great that we could all enjoy the tour without one of us having to be the driver. He also provided more information than we could have gotten on our own. He originally thought we'd be back about 6:00, but with everything we did it was almost 7:00. (That was not an issue for us, and if time would have been an issue, I'm sure he would have honored that time constraint.) It was obvious that his concern was for keeping us happy and giving us the experience we wanted, and he certainly didn't disappoint. I would JUMP at the opportunity to have Steve as our guide again in the future. You will not go wrong booking a tour with Steve! If you want a personal experience with the things YOU want to see and do with as much time as you want at each stop, Steve is the tour guide you want to have! Thanks so much, Steve, for catering to our every need and answering the multitude of questions we asked. MUCH APPRECIATED!!
Dingle Peninsula & Ring of Kerry: A wonderful two-day private tour with Steven
We had a wonderful two-day private tour with Steven, exploring the Dingle Peninsula and Ring of Kerry. Steven was pleasant, polite, and always punctual. He was very accommodating and patient, going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable throughout the trip. He’s knowledgeable about the history, culture and sights, and brought us to amazing, breathtaking locations. His dining recommendations in Dingle town were also excellent. Steven made our Dingle trip truly special — a perfect mix of stunning views and warm hospitality. Steven was a wonderful guide — professional, thoughtful and passionate about what he does. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ireland!
Memorable tour!
We booked a custom full-day tour of the Dingle Peninsula and a transfer to Galway with Steve’s Peninsula Tours. Steve is a thoughtful and knowledgeable guide who grew up in Dingle. We had a great day with him touring the area. He listens to your requests and plans the day according to your interests. If you like he is happy to provide interesting narrative along the ride peppered with fascinating historical facts and stories about the area and the people, delivered in an effortless and approachable manner. He is also very happy to allow his guests to enjoy quiet downtime to reflect and soak up the incredible landscape, and is very observant and picks up cues from the passenger. He has a wealth of historical and local information spanning hundreds of years and effortlessly works these into the narration of the ride in a comfortable and conversational manner rather than a “tour guide” style. In short, our day with Steve was the hands down high point of our trip to Ireland! The landscape and views were like nothing we have ever seen. Steve made the trip a wonderful experience.
