Additional Information

Experience stunning mountain vistas and unique historical sites as you navigate the breathtaking Dingle Peninsula on the Wild Atlantic Way. A visit to the notorious Inch Beach, one of Ireland’s most picturesque beaches recognized for its exceptional natural charm, will be included in your journey.

Proceed then to the Slea Head drive, Europe’s westernmost excursion. Be astounded by the Atlantic Coast as you traverse this extraordinary road that snuggly follows the shorelines of the west. The impressive views of the Blasket Islands, including potentially the ‘Sleeping Giant Island’, are promises of a great sightseeing opportunity.

Dingle Tour/Stress Free Driving - A wonderful tour of the Dingle peninsula, scenic views and picturesque stops along the way. Time in Dingle town to try out a pub and shop. Left the stress of driving these narrow winding roads to a professional driver!

Phenomenal tour! - This tour was AMAZING! Batt was my tour guide and he was great! The tour is unbelievably scenic. Even with a bit of rain at the end it was gorgeous. You really do see a TON during the tour and get to stop a ton for pics and exploring. Highly would rec

SPECTACULAR two days in Co. Kerry! - These tours are a great option to explore the Kerry peninsulas without driving yourself! Basing yourself in Killarney is great because the you are closer to the destinations and get to pay less for the tours. I did the ring of Kerry tour with Ger and the dingle peninsula tour with Jimmy last week. Make sure to take advantage of the discount for booking two tours! Thanks to advice on here I sat on the right for the ring of Kerry and the left for the dingle peninsula for optimal views. Our guides gave great commentary and stopped at a number of places to take pictures. This region is BEAUTIFUL and not to be missed, and I was so lucky to have perfect sunny weather both days! I think I enjoyed the ring of Kerry best. For the dingle tour, do note that you drive down to dingle and then do the slea head drive which is at the base of the peninsula and then you return to dingle (in other words, you don't go back up the other side of the peninsula so the way back is a little less exciting). Also, I was kind of expecting to be able to see Fungie the dolphin in dingle, for all that he is promoted on the website/during the tour - if you wish to do so you can try and cram it in during the lunch stop at dingle...try and find a boat trip leaving immediately when you arrive, it's about an hour and you have to pay around 16 euro in cash, only if you see Fungie. (I didn't do it because I was worried about getting back in time and didn't have enough cash on me). In summary, this is a great option for those wishing to explore Kerry from Killarney without a car of their own! It's a lot of driving, and getting on and off the bus for photos, do be sure to really sit back, enjoy and take in the beautiful views!!

Your views fine but overall experience average - Views were fantastic and stops. Bus was a bit cramped and since we were last to get picked up only seats left were in very back. Bumpy and a little bus sickness… We were given a refund because they overbooked and two of our 8 got bumped.

Lovely way to see beautiful Ireland... - <p>Lovely way to see beautiful Ireland. Glad I did it, but Dingle very over rated, glad I did tour but enjoyed ring of Kerry much better. If you can only do one,do the ring of Kerry tour instead.</p>

Beautiful landscapes, but... - This tour was very beautiful in terms of landscapes. However, I only give 3 stars because of the disorganization at the beginning of the tour as we started at 11.45 because we waited for people from Cork to come and they were late. But also because I would have appreciated a little more friendly attitude towards us from the bus driver/guide. Additionally, you will spend most of your time on the bus rather than on-site (even though each stop is amazingly beautiful). So, I would recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see the Dingle Peninsula broadly, but not to people who want to hike or spend more time at each stop. Otherwise, I'm very glad I could see these Wild Atlantic Landscapes and I think that the ideal weather we had helped me to enjoy the tour.

Too much driving, too little stops - The Dingle Peninsula is STUNNING. And I would have loved it if the tour allowed for more stops. Something that could be arranged, by travelling smaller. Now we rushed by amazing spots, simply because we couldn't park. Or because there was no time? We were with a small crew from Killarney, but we somehow merged with a group from Cork, resulting in a bigger bus. For the price you pay, the tour wasn't living up to my expectations. The driver was lovely, and told us many great stories and gave us loads of information. But everything felt rushed. And then we stopped for a long time in Dingle itself. Which allowed for lunch, but I'd rather spend more time around Slea Head and bring my own lunch. Or whatever. I'd never done a tour before, so maybe this is how things go. But then it's just not for me. All in all it wasn't bad, and I was happy to at least be able to see the beautiful Dingle peninsula.

Worst Tour of our Trip - From beginning to end, this tour was a disappointment. The tour meeting point was the downtown office. From there, when all had gathered, we hiked for 15 minutes, in the rain, to board the bus. This was after being told we would be bussed there. The tour was basically a drive by, with few stops. The “guide” gave us little information. When we stopped for lunch, he recommended one restaurant. It was full from other tours. We went back and asked for another recommendation, and he had none. On the way out, he drove by many sited which he said he would stop at onthe way back. He did not. Finally, he told us to “take a nap, and I’ll wake you when we get back.” Felt like asking for my money back.
