Unbelievable views of lovely Dingle Bay and sheep to accompany you along the 30-minute climb! Wear washable shoes as you’ll need to clean them with a hose (provided by gate keeper Mary) after walking in sheep droppings!

A scenic stretch of land surrounded by rugged coastline.
Talk about 'WOW'! The drive up heading north/south was steady and pleasant and then we got to the pass itself which is indeed narrow and right on the cliff edge! My friend who was driving loved it and the challenge - I just looked right away from the sheer drop alongside us! Completely worth it though of course because as soon as we reached the car park at the summit of the road path, the views back across the valley were quite simply breathtaking! Then a pleasantly steady descent down into Dingle to steady the nerves!!

Scenic drive from Dingle Town to the Dingle Peninsula and back.
Loved this area, along with Connemara, our favourites of a week's driving tour. As a big Ryan's Daughter fan, I was thrilled to visit, again after 25 years, this area made famous in the film.Some wonderful coastal views, all feels more open and quieter than the R of K, much shorter of course. Glad we made the 2 hour + journey from St Finan's Bay to enjoy it all again. Some fine archaeological sites too. Highlight is the small spectacular beach of Dunquin. Last time, we also got over to Great Blasket island, a fine trip in itself.

Cant believe this is my first review of anything dingle related - it truest must be on everyone’s bucket list - the peninsula is very rugged and rural full of beautiful vistas and landscapes and peppered with ancient ogham stones cairns and clachan! And around every corner a wonderful country pub or eatery ! Go south out of Dingle as road is narrow and mostly people use this clockwise road route ;-) slea head is a highlight look out for off road historic sites We visited the group if ogham ancient stones at Colaiste Ide just outside Dingle town at Ventry ! A true highlight not to be missed is the visit to the blanket island interpretive Centre , amazing design very thought provoking and a place for mindfulness and delicious home made food in their cafe mmm rhubarb crumble :-) Everywhere you drive there are remnants of old so photo opportunities everywhere ! No wonder they filmed Star Wars there ! Just go !

First, you need to book this well in advance. They only allow so many visitors per day. I won't comment on the tour companies because I only have experience with one (and it was good). Some days the weather is too rough to land boats. Because the trips are booked full weeks in advance, you can't reschdue for another day. That being said, if you get a reservation, and if the weather cooperates, this is well worth the trip. There are a lot of steps, so being in decent shape helps, but I wouldn't call it trecherous by any means. There are plenty of videos that give a good idea of what to expect. Watch them and take that into consideration if you have young children or folks who particularly don't like heights, or jumping on and off a rolling deck, into consideration. IMHO the trip is well worth it.

Prior to heading to Killarney for our Staycation I contacted Killarney Falconry & got a very prompt reply from Geoffrey detailing the experience & the prices... as I wanteed to be certain of doing this & you can never guarantee Irish weather we didn't book until we were on the ground, so to speak. The Weds forecast seemed the best so we booked and met John in a hotel carpark. We followed him to some woods down a very long lane & at last arrived at the destination - a wooded copse of trees. We then met Meeko the Harris hawk & each of us got multiple turns at having him fly to the gaunlet to feed. During the experience John entertained us with lots of info about falconry including the many terms that have migrated into the English language. And just when we though it was all over we got back to John's van and three fabulous owls were produced... each of us got a nuzzling owl on our gloved hand.. who knew these beautiful birds were so affectionate? It was the perfect end to one of the highlights of my existence....
