Dingle Crystal work shop is a little family place run by Master Sean with his sons. We can see there how masterpieces are appearing in an Artists hands. We can admire many of those items in the workshop and even order some of them for the collection.
The place which witnessed developing first civilisation at Dingle Peninsula. Huts looking like large beehives , built with rocks with no mortar.
Cross at Slea Head drive. The most western tip of Dingle Peninsula. Stunning view at the Atlantic Ocean and Blasket Islands. That is the point where we may have a chance to see dolphins or even whales.
Great audio visual presentation focused at local places. Blasket Islands, Skellig Islands and local history. Cafe shop, restaurant and toilet facility.
Gallarus Oratory is a beehive hut from 6th century. Is actually first Christian Church, Monastic side in Ireland. Galarus is an amazing example of high level of engineering from ancient times. Building like chapel is built with perfectly matching rocks without mortar. All rocks are at certain angle not allowing any water to run through. Inside is always dry even during heavy rains. This is history of keltic engineers not to be seen anywhere else.
Kilmalkedar is associated with Saint Brendan the Navigator. second Bishop of Ireland after Saint Patrick. Also with localy known Saint Maolcethair (Malkedar) who died in 636. Building which still stands there till now dates from 12th century. For 900 years old is in perfect state. Graveyard around is also ancient with real keltic stone sundial (still ticking)
Lets see stunning view from 1200 feet above the sea, being very close to it. Castlegregory Village and North Atlantic on one side and Charming Dingle town and Dingle bay behind.

Traveler reviews
Keep lookig
The tour itinerary posted on Viator listed a duration of 4-6 hours with certain stops. The drive met us and told us he would take us around the town and have us back in 2.5 hours. I quickly informed him of what was published and he said the 4 hours was for “driving time.” At one point, less than 3 hours in, he said we would have one more stop and be done. I told him we wanted to see the three remaining stops of the itinerary. He knew nothing of the stops - stated somethings you just had to see. Such balareny! I would not recommend.
Great trip despite the weather!!!
Peter did a fantastic job! He knew a lot of the history, took us to many places and actually stayed longer then we were supposed to. He was very accommodating and making sure that our pick up point was closer to where our next stop was going to be. I would highly recommend this trip.

This port was cancelled by the cruise ship on October 4 which was the last day I could cancel. I did not get a chance to cancel and the tour operator will not give me a refund
