Itinerary

The journey begins along the famous Ring of Kerry, Ireland's renowned coastal route. There are plenty of photo opportunities along the way—if it were possible, there would be a stop every two metres!

 

The first stop is the Cahergall Stone Forts, ancient structures built back in 600AD. Here, there’s lots of time to explore these medieval stone wonders before moving on to the charming fishing village of Portmagee. In Portmagee, there’s time to expereince the village and enjoy a meal, or perhaps head straight to Portmagee Whiskey, as some things take priority!

 

The adventure continues along the less-traveled Skellig Ring, an 18km extension of the Ring of Kerry that often goes overlooked. This road offers wild views of raw, untouched beauty that makes Ireland so breathtaking. Stops might include the Skellig Chocolate Factory or the stunning views of St Finans Bay, with a flexible itinerary that lets the day unfold naturally.

 

With cameras nearly full, the tour proceeds to Torc Waterfall, originating from the Devil's Punchbowl Lake. Beyond its natural beauty, the waterfall is steeped in mythology, with tales of curses and the Devil. From here the journey concludes back in Killarney Town, leaving participants with unforgettable memories as souvenirs.
