1. QCs Clay Pigeon Shooting
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 14 reviews
An introduction to the sport of clay pigeon shooting. For beginners and the seasoned shot, the experience can be tailored to your specific requirements. An extensive safety briefing precedes and interaction with the guns. There follows a theory section and then we break clays. Do you know when Sir Isac Newton was born?, do you know the third law of motion? Well you will, and you will break clays.

We visited here in September, in a last minute decision in the morning. Andrew took the four of us out to the field about 5 minutes away, and after an in depth safety briefing (which was actually interesting in itself!) we proceeded to have an hour of shooting in turns. Andrew helped guide us on every shot, offering easy to understand advice and it was more like having individual tuition throughout the afternoon. We were all complete novices, having not shot anything, but with his coaching we all hit something! Can't recommend this highly enough - Andrew was fantastic and we'll definitely be back when we're next in Caherciveen!

Such an amazing feature and beautifully restored ancient stone fort. Huge in scale and so impressive to see up close. Even more amazing is how quiet it always is. This is such a hidden treasure and have never seen many people here at all.

This is a wonderful place to visit, it is a beautiful and ornate. There is daily Mass and it was lovely to hear some parts of the prayers said in Irish Gaelic. There is a very friendly and helpful lady in the visitors centre/piety stall. Daniel O'Connell was a political leader and liberator of Ireland, the church is named after him. It is rare for a church to be named after someone who is not a saint. Monsignor Hugh O’ Flaherty is buried in the grounds of this church, he was a flamboyant character and Vatican diplomat who helped secure the lives of many during World War II. The church is just 5 minutes walk from where the bus drops you off in the town centre. Cahersiveen is a very friendly town with nice cafes, shops and history. At the end of July/ beginning of August there is a town festival which is nice and lively. They call this town the gateway to the Skelligs (islands off the coast of Kerry) and the Ring of Kerry so if you like scenery this is the place to start.
5. Valentia Harbour Tours
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 14 reviews
Get away from it all with Valentia Harbour Tours on an amphibious boat. Take a trip to beautiful uninhabited Beginish Island with a stunning backdrop of the Skellig Coast on the Wild Atlantic Way.Walk along the beach and reflect on the Viking house, Monastic Church Island and the families who previously lived there. The trip is run by Tommy and Aine O Connell and family who have a sheep farm on Beginish Island. Working everyday in summer, weather permitting. Come away refreshed.
