Several locations in the Dingle Peninsula have served as filming locations for Star Wars movies, particularly for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." One prominent spot is Ceann Sibeal (also known as Sybil Head), which was featured as the location for the Jedi Temple on the planet Ahch-To. The rugged cliffs and stunning scenery of Ceann Sibeal provided a fitting backdrop for key scenes involving Luke Skywalker and Rey. Additionally, the nearby island of Skellig Michael, although not technically part of the Dingle Peninsula, was also used extensively in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Skellig Michael served as the filming location for the remote Jedi hermitage where Luke Skywalker was found at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and where Rey seeks his guidance in "The Last Jedi." These Star Wars filming locations have further heightened the allure of the Dingle Peninsula for visitors, combining its natural beauty with the magic of cinematic storytelling.
The Gallarus Oratory is a remarkable ancient structure located on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Dating back to the early Christian period, it is believed to have been built between the 6th and 9th centuries AD.

Good time
Interesting trip, but a little pricey or a half day trip
Excellent tour
Des was an amazing guide! We had the best time and he was super patient and let us spend as much time as we wanted at each stop. He also taught us a lot about the history of the peninsula and the island. We loved this tour!
Best tour during mother / daughter Ireland trip
Des was my favorite tour guide of the three we took while in Ireland! He was knowledgeable, shared supporting documents [books, photos], open to any questions, and made sure a mix of options were made available to us and to let us know what to for sure do on our stops. He also took us on a brief loop of Dingle to give some hints and recommendations for our time in town. This tour itself is breathtaking and be sure to get out and walk as much as you can on each stop. Highly recommend! [And Rory was great on the back end helping us get sorted during our last minute reservation]
The epitome of a tour company!
We have traveled widely (including Ireland), but Rory’s Slea Head excellent tour best exemplifies what a tour designed for visitors to any area should be. The structure is simple & well defined: a clockwise tour of the epic Slea Head drive. However, this company’s professionalism & friendly nature separates it from all other companies. There was no rush, each client’s needs were taken into account, and the stops are both well planned & safe for all. We were lucky enough to have Rory (the owner), as our driver, but we met other drivers from his company en route and all displayed the same exemplary characteristics that Rory displayed. It was (despite misty weather), a grand highlight of our Dingle Peninsula experience! Thank you Rory! The Starks
