Dingle: Along the Ring of Kerry to Killarney

The views along the Ring of Kerry are spectacular and iconically Irish as you make your way to Killarney. Killarney National Park is famous for glassy lakes, historic castles and mansions, and rugged mountain landscapes with emerald woodlands. A hiker’s paradise when looking to be surrounded by unparalleled views. Today you will experience both the local history at the Muckross House, and the tranquil nature hiking to Torc waterfall.
Day 5

Dingle: Slea Head Drive and Walking the Dingle Peninsula

The Dingle Peninsula is said to be home to the most scenic drive in the world. The Slea Head Drive takes you along the awe-inspiring coastline where you’ll witness steep cliffs and rocky shores broken up by sandy beaches, the landscape composed of soothing greens and crisp blues. As you can imagine, this area is also a popular hiking route for adventure seekers looking to immerse themselves in the impressive landscape.
Day 6

Ennis: Adare and County Limerick

Leave County Kerry behind and cross over into County Limerick, stopping in the charming village of Adare. The Irish government has designated Adare a heritage town due to its religious and medieval history, having been founded in the 13th century. It is considered Ireland’s “prettiest village” with thatched roof cottages and the River Maigue. Later, travel to Bunratty Castle & Folk Park, a 15th century fortress located in County Clare. Bunratty translates to “mouth of the Ratty River”, a fitting name given its proximity to the Shannon Estuary.
Day 7

The capital of the County Clare, Ennis is a historic town originating in the 13th century, boasting a close proximity to both Inisheer and the Cliffs of Moher, which are ideal for exploring by bike and on foot. Inisheer is the smallest of the three Aran Islands located in Galway Bay, a comfortable ferry ride from Doolin Port and the Cliffs of Moher. The towering sea cliffs are believed to house otherworldly creatures, overlooking the formidable Atlantic.
