The 6 most popular kerry tours in Ireland. What each one actually includes, who runs it, and what you can expect to pay.
Heated glass-boat cruise on Lough Léin from Ross Castle Pier, with wildlife, Innisfallen monastery ruins, and Carrauntoohil views.
“We enjoyed a relaxing trip around Loch Leane with an excellent narration of the area history.”
Guided horse riding in Killarney National Park past Lough Leane, with calm horses, helpful guides, and mountain views near town.
“It was so much fun! Even my husband who has never been on a horse and was lowkey scared, absolutely loved it and even said he would do it again! The instructors were amazing and so helpful and the scenery was unreal. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.”
Ride the Ring of Kerry from Killarney on a guided bus loop with stops at Molls Gap, Ladies’ View, and scenic photo breaks.
“It would be a challenging drive for a less experienced driver. It was great to sit back and truly enjoy the scenery. Our guide, Dave was personable and provided both historical information balanced with humor throughout the tour.”
Pony-and-trap through the Gap of Dunloe, then a traditional boat across Killarney’s three lakes from Ross Castle on a guided 5-hour tour.
“Everything worked smoothly. The boat ride was amazing and Rory was very informative. The trap ride was so much fun and it’s the only way to see the Gap of Dunloe.”
Gap of Dunloe foot and boat tour from Killarney: coach, 7-mile walk or pony ride, and a lake cruise to Ross Castle.
“Hiking time was said at 2 hours but really 2 1/2 so best to let guest’s know - we did have time for a snack before the boat. Excellent tour and day”
A small-group 6.5-hour Dingle Peninsula day tour from Killarney, mixing Atlantic viewpoints, Gaeltacht culture, and ancient sites.
“Would’ve loved a little more time in Dingle town. Donal was an excellent guide. It was even better than we thought it would be. A little history lesson at each stop was great. Donal took us to sites for photos and info that did not require extra fees which was very thoughtful. Highly recommend!”
