Not waiting around for people who think they are entitled to keave on their schedule and hold the rest of the group up !!!”

4.Best Ring of Kerry Tour ex Killarney inc Killarney National Park

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 463 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $72

Review of the Ring of Kerry tour from Killarney, with sheepdogs, Bog Village, scenic stops, guide tips, costs, and practical advice.

“I'm sure Michael our driver booked the sunshine for this tour. I've done the tour with deros day tours twice now. Our driver, Michael, was funny and knew a lot about the region that I didn't know before. At some points, I wished we'd made longer stops. It's a shame it wasn't April yet; I would have liked to see the show with the sheepdogs, but if you book in March, there's no show. 😉 But I'll definitely go again to do the Ring of Kerry tour a third time.”

I cannot imagine exploring the park any other way and would highly recommend this tour!”

Explore Connemara from Galway with Diamond Hill hiking, coastal views, local stories, photo stops, and a friendly English-speaking guide.

“The landscape of Connemara is just beautiful and Diamond Hill definitely worth the trip. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to reach the top (because of several foto stops we made before) and our guide seemed to be a little bit bored. Nevertheless a nice tour I can recommend to get an overview about the region.”

Ride through Killarney National Park beside Lough Leane, with calm horses, friendly guides, mountain views, and routes for beginners.

“We had a beautiful day of horseback riding through the Killarney national park. Our guide brought us along several picturesque paths showcasing the natural beauty of the area. There were red deer, sika deer, and cows in the fields. We could see the lake in the distance but we did not go down near it. We enjoyed trotting along forested paths and chatting with our guide. I was looking forward to hearing more general information about the area, but we ended up just silently enjoying the scenery for large portions of time which was also lovely. Very much enjoyed the experience.Read more”
