The Ring of Kerry Day Trip including Killarney Lakes and National Park
Killarney, Ireland
An essential part of any visit to Ireland, this tour circles the magnificent MacGillycuddy Reeks, running through its many passes and valleys along the shore of Dingle Bay and Kenmare Bay.
There is an unspoilt nature to Ireland's most beautiful region and the Ring of Kerry provides many unforgettable memories as it passes through many picturesque villages such as Glenbeigh, Waterville and Sneem.
Your return to Killarney is via Ladies View, the famous Lakes of Killarney and through the Oakwoods of Killarney's magnificent National Park.
Very enjoyable day trip with multiple stops to take in the scenery. Last leg of the trip seemed a bit rushed but overall a very worthwhile way to experience some of the natural beauty of the Irish coast and countryside.

Ring of Kerry from Killarney is a great trip but not as interesting as some others. There are a lot of photo stops and the backdrops are beautiful but since we live near the ocean in the US maybe it wasn't as impressive at it may have been for others who don't see the ocean often. A nice day out, just not as much punch as some of the other sites we visited.

This Tour was amazing. Michael was so friendly snd knowledgeable about Kerry and Ireland. It was beautiful and relaxing and fun all at once
Review by: Elizabeth A, March 2018
The Ring of Kerry is an absolute must! Our tour didn't last as long as expected and there was no attempt to stop to see the sheep although we did see other tour busses stopping. Being able to hang out at the stops a little longer would have been nice as well. Our guide's accent was very heavy and his voice was muffled most of the time BUT the views were beautiful!

We had deros tour company and Ger was out guide. He was informative, helpful, and makes sure you utilize your time well at each stop. Plenty of great sites for pictures! Suggesstion: they stop at a bog village musuem and it's worth the 5 euros. Also, get the Irish coffee at the bar next to it.

The most beautiful scenic ride of my entire life. Everything about this company and its employees were wonderful. I was a single mother traveling alone with 2 children (7 and 14) and they truly catered to us. Stopped at the BEST Irish pub to eat. Ride was windey.. became nauteous. Driver very kind.

The tour itself was amazing, scenery just beautiful. Our tour guide, Morris, was also spectacular. He was knowledgeable, funny and made the entire experience fantastic. Highly recommend the tour, and Morris.

Ray was amazing!! He was very knowledgeable and funny all at the same time. He would get out and help anyone if they needed it on our stops with pictures or just have a conversation with myself and other taking the tour. This was the first time visiting Ireland we came for our honeymoon and couldnt ask for a better experience. The view was gorgeous and the tour was very fun!! Loved the places we saw and the stores we stopped at. If you really want to experience Ireland you need to take this tour and ask for RAY we couldnt have asked for a better tour guide than him.. wish he could hang out with him everyday while we are in Ireland!

Beautiful
Review by: Philip R, November 2017
We had Ray as our tour guide and driver. He did excellent driving on the skinny roads and was a very entertaining guide. Had quite a few photo stops and a beautiful view from the lunch stop.
Review by: Kathleen Q, November 2017
Great tour- ton of information about the history of Ireland- and was able to see so many sites during the tour!! Perfect amount of time at each!
Review by: Becky, November 2017
I enjoyed this tour a lot. We went in the off-season November so we didn't get to see the dog and sheep show to my disappointment. But our guide did a wonderful job and was very entertaining. Also, the stop at the Kerry Bog Museum was great. We got to see bog ponies, Irish Wolfhounds, and tour a tiny village of thatched roofed houses.
Review by: Anelia_S, November 2017
Thank you! A very good organization, and the driver laughed at us all the time.

This tour was amazing even saw a heard of deer. Beautiful vistas along the route
Review by: Bradley B, October 2017
The trip was outstanding. Tara, the tour guide, was outstanding. She provided lots of information and kept the group of people moving. I highly recommend this trip.
Review by: Elmer P, September 2017
The trip was very nice. The only way to see the Ring of Kerry. I think you would be crazy to drive. The bus driver was very informative and we loved the stop for the sheep with the border collies.
Review by: Richard Z, September 2017
Full bus with an experienced driver who took us to a variety of beautiful locations. He was anxious to give the bus group adequate time to stretch our legs and snap many photos during the tour on the Ring of Kerry and inside the Killarney National Park.
Review by: Stephen B, September 2017
This is a great trip, well worth the money. Our driver was very good and the sheep dog demonstration was very enjoyable.
Review by: Raymond D, September 2017
Great Day!
Review by: Justin P, September 2017
This tour was well worth it. I never would not have had as wonderful an experience trying to do this myself. The stops were well timed and a lot of fun. Every picture break was amazing and gave you enough time to take in the scenery and snap some pictures.
Review by: Steven M, September 2017
A good tour, even with the rain the driver entertained us.
Review by: Jacquelyn M, September 2017
We booked a few tours through Viator and this was by far the best one! We saw a ton, but it also didn't feel as rushed as other tours. Our guide was incredible and gave us histories, fun tidbits and music we still like to listen to. I would happily do this tour again!_br/_ Also, go see the herding dogs. It's a few extra bucks, but completely worth it.
Review by: Chris F, September 2017
The tour was interesting. Enjoyed the visit to The Red Fox Inn and the Farm Dog instruction display. The scenery was lovely despite the bad weather. As we arrived into Killarney by private car well before the tour we still found it was difficult to get a car park and was quite a walking distance from there to tour depot. Suggest plan at least for 30min before bus departure for parking and the walk.
Review by: Jessica B, September 2017
Beautiful scenery and a great stop for lunch.
Review by: Olwyn E W, August 2017
Fantastic tour! I look forward to doing this again when we return to Ireland.
Review by: Melissa S, August 2017
50 shades of green! Very beautiful!
Review by: Niloufer D, August 2017
Its amazing what a good driver can do. After experiencing Morris i think that was his name who was such a poor guide, going on to the tours with Ray and with Patrick ? was a wonderful experience.
Review by: Christine O, August 2017
Très belle journée! La partie que nous avons préférée est la rencontre avec l'éleveur de chien. La démonstration avec les moutons était vraiment impressionnante! Ce que nous avons moins aimé, c'est que la compagnie fait payer pour les sièges dans la première partie du bus.
Review by: Jean S, August 2017
The tour itself is a great way to see the Ring of Kerry. If you did the drive yourself the driver has to concentrate on the road but on the tour everyone gets to enjoy the scenery. The highlight of the whole tour was Brendon Ferris Sheep Dog Herding. He was incredible with how the dogs reacted to his commands and how he explained the different breeds of sheep. It was best 5 euros spent on our whole trip in Ireland.
Review by: William T, August 2017
Wonderfull scenery and good helpfull comical driver
Review by: Melodie, July 2017
This is such a wonderful tour and what a value for the price. Dennis was knowledgeable, entertaining and an excellent driver through the Ring of Kerry. The views are spectacular. Never did we feel rushed and there are many, many opportunities for pictures. There are several stops along the tour, with the important bathroom breaks. The dog and sheep show was a highlight, which is funny to say....trust me...its amazing. We had both sun and rain that day and it didn't matter, it was all lovely. Make sure you do have breakfast though, because lunch is late 2:00pm and the first stop you make is mostly coffee and tea with only a few bakery items. I highly recommend this day trip, truly amazing.
Review by: Kristen P, May 2017
Tony was a great tour guide. Very educational and paced well. Definitely recommended for a day tour.
Review by: Katie M, May 2017
This was an awesome tour and well worth the money. Denis was our coach driver/ tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and gave us a fantastic incite into the history and the areas travelled along the way. Thanks Denis! It is well worth it and great to have someone else do the driving on some of the narrow roads we travelled on.
Review by: Meghan S, May 2017
This is the second time I took this tour and it was as amazing as the first time. The driver was very friendly and informative. There were plenty of sports to take photos and browse around and the place we stopped for lunch had an amazing stew. The last stop at the waterfall is also a great place to get engaged. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting Ireland.
Review by: Sigrun F, May 2017
Having worked internationally for years as a tour guide myself I think I have the experience of evaluating this trip from a professional point of view. I can highly recommend this day trip, the driver-tour guide Murt ? and the tour company. They offered an exceptional service, from pick-up and drop-off at the hotel, punctuality, last-minute booking changes from our side, information, narration, scenic stops, lunch break etc. My family and I, including teenagers, had a wonderful, never boring time. We all learned so much about the local and national history, famous local people, the original language, the most important industry sheep farming, dogs training and so much more. We would do this trip again and again! Thank you for a wonderful time.
Review by: Sharon Lea L, May 2017
Fabulous tour...as we had been driving around Ireland ourselves it was nice to be driven! The driver was great, very funny and informative. We seen evrything we wanted and he stopped at great locations along the way...we also stopped at a fabulous place for lunch. Would definitely recommend this tour....
Review by: Bushra A, April 2017
Nice!_br/_ Would def try and go again._br/_ The only thing was reaching killarney. its a bit tough w public transportation from galway, but that a separate issue
Review by: Julie N, April 2017
Had a great time. Our driver was very cheerful, lots of local knowledge and even entertained us with a song and poem. Views were amazing and stops very well spaced out. Thoroughly recommend this trip.
Review by: Joe L, April 2017
Bit of a delay to begin with because of people not checking in first but it was soon all systems go, Denis our driver/guide was great and kept us posted on all the historical facts and the sometimes fiction along the route._br/_ Enjoyed to company of our fellow passengers on the tour. lot's of friendly banter.
Review by: Gary H, March 2017
Very enlightening, entertaining, relaxing, well-organized, executed efficiently. The bus driver/guide was great, as he gave wonderful commentary throughout the trip. Tremendous sites along the way, with plenty of pleasant stops for photo-taking and shirt walk-abouts. I highly recommend this tour.
Review by: karissa.foley, March 2017
This tour is extremely worth it! The places we stopped were all gorgeous and really captured the beauty of the Ring of Kerry! The tour guide we had was knowledgeable and always offered to take pictures of the groups of people there which was so helpful!
Review by: nick, March 2017
Great tour.
Review by: Jenna O., March 2017
Crazy roads but a great way to see the most photographed part of Ireland in one day if you are pressed for time.
Review by: Suzanne E. W, March 2017
This tour was great - and had it not been raining most of the day I would've given it 5 Stars. Understandably, this is Ireland --- but it was definitely more than a soft day which limited the visibility and dampened the spirits a bit. The route itself is gorgeous with breathtaking scenery, all stops were well-planned, the driver was courteous and helpful, the bus clean and comfortable. I'd love to do it all again - on a sunny, warm, dry day, haha...
Review by: Anita W, January 2017
We had a great time. Our driver was very funny and entertaining and gave us a great view of the scenery and history of the region.
Review by: Shane E, December 2016
Definitely beats driving and with a knowledgeable tour driver well worth the price
Review by: Lauren C, November 2016
If there is one tour you do while in Ireland, you must do this. This was the absolute most scenic tour I've ever been on, and I've been on many trips over the past few years. The lakes, the national park, the ocean, the mountains, you get everything. So many photo opportunities.
Review by: Vanesa F, November 2016
The landscapes were beautiful but I didnt enjoy the trip at all._br/_ It was a trip of stop-get off the bus-take picture-get in the bus all the time. In the last stops I didnt get off because I was tired of taking photos because so._br/_ I couldnt understand the driver so, if you arent English speaker, book the multilingual one. Nice comments, the same as the driver. Jokes included._br/_ It was a bit disappointed. But bus very comfortable and price reasonable._br/_ The food in the place we stopped wasnt good enough for the price almost every dish was 15 and they didnt taste as homemade food.
Review by: soul traveller, November 2016
It is such beautiful scenery. We stopped at this restaurant that looked over the ocean for lunch it was a little rushed but the view was worth it. There was some interesting stops along the way. Crafter and Artist display there wares along the highway and at the stops. Some of them were very entertaining. I found the Bog village very interesting in the history of Ireland.
Review by: Marianne O, November 2016
This tour was well worth it...this way everyone can enjoy the views and not have someone driving on very narrow and winding roads._br/_ The views were spectacular and our bus tour driver very informative and amusing
