Dingle Peninsula

Dingle Peninsula - This is a must. This is an all day trip, and the drive takes about 3 hours round trip. You will want to add in time in Dingle - a lovely village with good shopping/food etc. At night, great pubs with music also. If the weather is nice, we will also want to go to Inch Beach and hang out.

Blasket Islands

In addition to Dingle - we all HIGHLY recommend the Blasket Islands. These are the most westerly islands in Europe! Very remote and this can be done on the same day - it will just make it a long day - which is fine. Ferry link: https://www.blasketislandferry.com/

Ring of Kerry

Ring of Kerry - this is another all day drive and very popular. It has a lot of beautiful stops but it is an all day drive. Here is a link to a recommended guide to driving the Rink of Kerry: https://tripstouncover.com/a-guide-to-driving-the-ring-of-kerry/#google_vignette
