Cross at Slea Head. 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.
Galarus 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.

Traveler reviews
Rain or Shine, Dingle is beautiful!
Four adults travelling throughout Ireland scheduled a private tour of Dingle Peninsula. Our driver, Peter, was very knowledgable and accommodating. Before and during the tour, he provided ideas and support for the places we wanted to see. Unfortunately, we had very poor weather the day of the tour, so there were many vistas that were just not possible. However, we made the best of it and enjoyed the day.
Breath Taking
Piotr was flexible, knowledgeable and shared Dingle Glass, Coastal Views and Bee Hive House history. In the end we overlooked Killarney Lakes. Great experience!
Personalized Experience with Knowledgable and Friendly Guide
This was an absolutely fantastic experience for me and my friends during our stay in Killarney. Our guide, Peter, was nothing but incredibly kind, flexible, and full of knowledge on the history of Ireland and the Dingle Peninsula. We stopped at numerous spots including Inch Beach, Slea Head, DingleCrystal, and, per our request, a sheep farm (we got to hold lambs!). Being able to drive the perimeter of the entire peninsula was beautiful. Peter gave us an excellent experience of all and truly made us appreciate the rich history behind it. I would highly highly recommend booking a tour with Peter as your guide—we loved this tour so much and we loved Peter! Without a doubt the highlight of our week in Ireland.
Private Tour to Dingle Peninsula
We had a wonderful day exploring the Dingle Peninsula with our tour guide Piotr. He was very knowledgeable about the area and all the best places to stop. Taking this private tour allowed us to see what we liked, and spend as much time as we wished at each stop. We highly recommend this tour.
Terrific experience
Peter was an excellent guide. We hired him for 2 days. Dingle peninsula and ring of kerry. He is knowledgable, friendly, helpful, reliable and willing to go the extra distance. We would highly recommend him!
