    Do you want to marvel at something? Once you’ve experienced the vast and beautiful region of Dingle Peninsula, you’ll understand why we love it so much. It’s a place where glorious beaches hug luscious shorelines. Where the traditions of a mysterious and passionate culture remain part of the everyday, from ruins to towns. All you will experience is beauty for yourself as we leave Killarney Town and head south towards Dingle Peninsula. You’ll understand why it’s a popular filming location spot and might even recognise scenes from Star Wars: The Last Jedi as we coast around.

    We then journey along Slea Head Drive (or Slí Cheann Sléibhe if you want to practice the local tongue), one of Ireland’s most scenic routes. Make sure you’re not napping as we coast along this circular route. Trust us, you’ll kick yourself later if you miss these views. There’s so much to love along the way, and we’ll keep our options open as we drive. Perhaps you’ll stop in at Tóchar Maothaithe – Ireland's famous beehive huts. Or maybe the Famine Cottages, bleak histories with an incredible view.
