This private day trip lasts about five to seven hours and includes round-trip transport in a private vehicle. Pickup is available from your hotel, B&B, or local area in Killarney. The route covers the Ring of Kerry with stops at Killorglin, Glenbeig, Cahersiveen, the Skellig Ring, Valentia Island, Waterville, and Sneem. Along the way, the guide points out the location where the Transatlantic Cable first entered the water in 1866, connecting Europe and the USA, and carries a small piece of the original cable on the minivan. The tour includes a visit to the Skellig Experience, featuring a video about Skellig Michael. There are several short walks during the day, including a 10-minute walk up and back to Torc Waterfall in Killarney National Park on the return journey. The guide also highlights Ireland’s highest mountain in the Macgillycuddy Reeks and the birthplace of Daniel O’Connell, as well as the only cathedral in Ireland named after a statesman. A stop at a local public house for a drink or seafood is optional and not included in the price. The tour usually starts around 9 am.
