The Ring of Kerry is Ireland's most famous tour. The scenery is spectacular all along the route.

If you begin your journey in Killarney you will travel along the banks of the river Laune until Killorglin, the home of Puck Fair, and then take the coast road and see the magnificent views of the beach at Glenbeigh and the Blasket Islands at the mouth of Dingle Bay. In Caherciveen it's possible to take the elevator to the top of the former barracks and see the countryside for miles around.

If you have time Valentia Island is well worth a visit. Waterville and Derrynane are known worldwide for their beaches, walks and angling, as well as their archaeological sites. From here your routes takes you to Ireland's most picturesque village, Sneem, and along the coast road to beautiful Kenmare. The journey has a grand finale in the drive from Moll's Gap to Killarney.
