Dingle Peninsula & Slea Head Day Tour
About
The Dingle Peninsula is the wilder, Gaelic-speaking neighbour to the Ring of Kerry, and this day takes it in from a sixteen-seat mini coach small enough for the narrow coast roads. Leaving Killarney, the route runs out to Slea Head Drive, the loop that strings together the beehive huts, the famine cottages and the long Atlantic views, with a Star Wars filming location among them. The day ends with a couple of hours in Dingle town itself, time enough for a seafood lunch, a pint or a scoop of Murphy's ice cream before the run back. Run by Rabbie's, who keep the groups small.
