Tour Overview:
The Dingle Peninsula is quite a drive from Dublin. By starting at the Shannon airport we are more than halfway there. We’ll make a stop in Kilkee for the cliff walk there, the Loop Head Lighthouse and gthe Kilbaha Gallery and take a ferry to the peninsula. Inch Beach is known for it’s surfing and you can walk for miles watching. Dingle is a bustling town. Lots of touristy shops. But they also have the most unique pubs I’ ve ev er seen. One is a hardware store on one side and a pub on the other. There is a Dingle Distillery and Murphy’s Ice Cream is made there. But not far outside of Dingle is the magic of beehive huts built by monks back in the 12th century, the Gallarus Oratory and the spectacular peace at Dunquin. On our way back we’ll see the grand old Muck Ross House in Killarney.
Tour Highlights:
This tour is really more for those who have already seen Dublin and the main landmarks of Ireland and want to dig in to rural life, ancient history and spectacular views the big box tours can’t even get to. (their coaches are too big)
It includes Kilkea, which is a very small village with an amazing beach, a light house, and a cliff walk as spectacular as the Cliffs of Moher….without the crowds.
From Dunquin, you honestly feel like you are looking into the past, to the same sights the Irish of history looked at years ago.
We get to take a ferry
The pubs in Dingle are unlike any you’ll find in the big cities…like Dublin and even Galway.
