Itinerary
Step back in time and take a wonderful look at Ireland’s rural history, heritage and lifestyle. Visitors will experience the culture, customs and living conditions of our great ancestors through the famine years, and late 19th century.
Sheepdog demonstrations on the Ring of Kerry! Watch the amazing skills demonstrated by Kells sheepdogs as they herd the Sheep in the Kerry countryside. A unique skill that is well worth viewing. Demonstations take place April-Mid October. * Optional (There is a separate charge for the demonstration - cash only.)
We travel through Caherciveen and as we are using a smaller coach we are able to drive on the spectacular 'Skellig Ring' on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean to stop at St Finian's Bay and Skellig Chocolates. This beautiful area offer uninterrupted and unrivalled views of the iconic Skellig islands.
We make a brief stop in the beautiful village of Waterville which is stunningly situated between the wild Atlantic Ocean and Lough Currane. Uniquely, this is the only village on the Ring of Kerry that is actually right on the coast. Enjoy a walk along the seafront or “Promenade” as the locals call it, where you can taste the salt water in the air.
After lunch we stop at Coomakishta, a mountain-high viewpoint overlooking the ocean, islands and rural landscapes of South Kerry.
Situated in the Killarney National Park, Ladies View is one of Ireland’s best-known and loved panoramas. Enjoy the magnificent view of the valleys, lakes and mountains, including the Black Valley, Upper and Lower Lakes and some of the Killarney National Park.
Pass by: Nature & Parks, National Parks

Great tour, magnificent landscape
Very friendly guide. With a lot of knowledge. Incredibly beautiful landscape
Great value
Fabulous tour with stunning scenery!! This tour actually does everything on the itinerary. It provides a bonus area of the skellig area that other tours do not. Our driver, Kevin, was fabulous! The driver can make the tour, and Kevin enhances the experience. I would highly recommend.
Nice scenery, great driver/guide, good lunch stop.
Definitely plan to see the border collie herding sheep. Amazing communication between master and dog!
Best way to see the Ring of Kerry without a car!!
We didn’t rent a car and were trying to figure out the best way to see the ring of kerry. Kevin made this trip unforgettable! Gave history and personal stories of all the sights along the way and gave tips at each stop so we had the best time in each place we went.
Excellent
Kevin was wonderful and funny, informative and efficient. Everything ran on time, and the views were wonderful.
