This full-day bus tour departs Cork at 8:20 AM and crosses the Cork and Kerry Mountains as it heads toward the Ring of Kerry. The tour covers roughly 11 hours and includes live commentary from the driver-guide throughout the journey. Onboard amenities include WiFi, USB ports at every seat, and air conditioning. The first stop is in Killarney Town for about an hour. Set in a valley surrounded by lakes and Ireland’s highest mountain range, Killarney offers shops, pubs, and traditional arts and crafts. Visitors can get coffee or breakfast, or visit St. Mary’s Cathedral or Killarney House and Gardens. The tour returns to the National Park later in the day. The route passes through Killorglin, known for the Puck Fair festival where a goat is crowned king for three days each August. The tour continues along part of the Ring of Kerry drive with stops to photograph views of Dingle Bay, Skellig Rocks, and Inch Beach. A one-hour stop is included at Waterville Beach, a village on Ballinskelligs Bay near the Skellig Rocks and their early Christian monastery. The village honors Charlie Chaplin with a statue and has a noted golf club and famous footballers. Next is a 20-minute stop in Sneem, a colorful village with two squares and a bridge where the River Sneem meets Kenmare Bay. This village was a holiday spot for Charles de Gaulle. Killarney National Park is visited again, allowing time to walk along the Lakes of Killarney and through the Black Valley. The tour stops for 20 minutes at Torc Waterfall, an 18-meter high cascade in Friers Glenn woodlands. There is a public hiking path up Torc Mountain, and the area is home to red deer. The tour then returns to Cork, arriving around 7 PM. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup or drop-off are not included. The operator requires that children be accompanied by adults, and toddlers or babies need a child seat or booster if traveling. Reservations through Viator assign a pickup point and time, but changes must be requested by 5 PM the day before and confirmed in writing.
