Things to do in Valentia Island, Province of Munster: The Best Sightseeing Tours

This private guided full day tour of The Ring of Kerry will take you along the world famous 179km (112 miles) of scenic coastline and countryside. Departing from your accommodation at 9am (flexible) your private group of up to 6 people will skirt the mountain range of the McGillycuddy Reeks, home to Ireland's highest mountain. Passing through picturesque towns and villages, it is a natural wonderland of ruined castles, mysterious Iron Age stone forts standing sentinel on lush green hillsides, soft blanket bogs, as well as panoramic views of the Atlantic, where the UNESCO World Heritage site of Skellig Michael soars from the ocean. One of Ireland’s most iconic views is from Coomakista Pass looking down on Derrynane Harbour, Scariff and Deenish Islands, Kenmare Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. On the return journey we drive through the 26,000 acre Killarney National Park, Ireland's oldest park, where glacially sculpted mountains cradle three large lakes.
