Itinerary
Your journey begins or concludes — depending on the weather — at the breathtaking Conor Pass, one of Ireland’s highest and most scenic mountain drives. From this dramatic vantage point, sweeping views unfold across Brandon Bay, Tralee Bay, and the Dingle Peninsula. On a clear day, the panorama stretches as far as Mount Brandon and the endless Atlantic horizon. It’s an awe-inspiring stop to immerse yourself in the raw beauty of Kerry’s landscape, capture striking photographs, and pause to reflect before your descent into the colourful charm of Dingle Town.
Pass by: Visible from the road across Dingle Bay, the 19th-century Eask Tower stands atop Carhoo Hill. Built to guide ships safely into Dingle Harbour, it remains a striking landmark of the town’s maritime heritage.
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.
Pass by: Experience the charm of rural Ireland at Hold a Baby Lamb & Beehive Huts in Glanfahan, County Kerry. 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

Perfect day! Steven was prompt, knowledgeable, professional, friendly and warm. He spent every moment showing us beautiful sights of the Dingle Peninsula and telling us the history of each place. Always informing and entertaining, his knowledge is amazing. You could not ask for a better driver/host! He took this pic of my husband and I…
Professional and friendly tour of the Dingle Peninsula.
The morning of our tour brought rain. Steve kindly offered flexibility so we could get the best views and make the most of our tour. He arrived promptly in a pristine car, and we headed out. He asked what we'd be most interested in. Throughout our tour, Steve shared his deep knowledge of the area and its varied history. We had a highly personalized tour that was both professional and friendly. Thanks, Steve!
Family trip to Ireland
What a wonderful experience. Steve was very accommodating and knowledgeable. The views were amazing and the historical sites were very interesting. We considered driving the Dingle peninsula in our own car but I’m so happy we decided to sign up for the guided tour. We were able to relax on the drive and learned so much more than we would have on our own.
