Ring of Kerry & The Dingle Peninsula

This scenic tour takes in beautiful Killarney and its stunning National Park, the fabulous Dingle Peninsula and the spectacular Ring of Kerry.  Not only is the area’s breathtaking natural landscape an attraction, but it is also home to some of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions, including the characterful Killarney jaunting car horse and carriage rides.

Day 2 Today we travel to our main hotel in Killarney. 

Day 3 We begin our day in style as we step back in time and experience once of Ireland’s most traditional modes of transport, a jaunting car horse and carriage ride directly from our hotel!  After seeing more of Killarney and the beautiful National Park from this unique perspective, we then spend the rest of the day at leisure in the town centre, discovering more of the area’s famed scenery and history.
