What to do and see in Killarney, Province of Munster: The Best Multi-day Tours

January 7, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

Forget fashionable footwear, only your most comfortable shoes will cut it in Killarney. It's a walking town, and every trail is a history lesson. Journey on foot through Ireland's first national park, 26,000 acres of woodlands, sandstone mountains and low-lying lakes. When your feet wear out, take in Killarney National Park via boat from Ross Castle. And because there are more hotel beds in Killarney than in any other Irish town or city (besides Dublin), you'll always have a place to rest your head (and feet).

IWHB was great to work with on my walking tour (Kerry Camino/Dingle Way), from initial information and coordination, to day-to-day check-ins and weather updates. Morris provided a lively and informative intro the day before I set up, ensuring I was set up to enjoy the hiking. They are very well organized, friendly, knowledgable, and helpful. I don't hesitate to recommend using them for one of their tours, I was very happy, surprised really, with how much they had to offer and the way they went about it all.

This was a spectacular experience! From first contact with Dean to the support calls from Maurice during the trip, it was brilliantly orchestrated. There were a few minor glitches that were not a product of the tour company but it certainly made for more adventure. The accommdations, save for one, were excellent. The host/hostesses were amazing and transport services from site to site were well organized and the drivers were on time, friendly, incredibly informative. In my opinion, this is the only way to see Ireland. The trails were clearly marked, the scenery is breathtaking, the maps accurate and the whole trip was, well, spectacular. I would definitely recommend this trip and this company. Thank you Ireland walk, hike, hike for this amazing experience!
