After lunch, the bus stops at Com An Chiste (Coomakishta), a viewpoint offering views of the ocean, islands, and rural landscapes. The route continues with a 20-minute stop at Ladies' View in Killarney National Park, known for wide views of valleys, lakes, and mountains including the Black Valley and the Upper and Lower Lakes.
