2-Day Killarney Tour: Dingle, Slea Head & Ring of Kerry

You get two of Ireland's most famous drives in a single booking, assigned on the morning you depart.

This 2-day tour from Killarney combines two separate scenic routes through County Kerry: the Dingle Peninsula and Slea Head (described by National Geographic as "the most beautiful place on earth"), and the Ring of Kerry with its views of the Iveragh Peninsula, rugged coastline, mountains and lakes. A driver-guide provides live commentary. You check in at Deros Tours office on Main Street before 10:15 AM departure. Which route you take each day is assigned on the morning of your first departure.

The experience

If you have limited time in County Kerry but want to see both the Dingle Peninsula and the Ring of Kerry, this pairing solves the choice: you get both in two days instead of booking them separately. The Dingle route takes you to Slea Head, bounded on three sides by the sea. The Ring of Kerry skirts the Iveragh Peninsula, a drive that passes rugged coastline, mountains and lakes. Which one you do on which day is determined when you arrive, so the itinerary stays flexible based on conditions and group composition.

Check in at the Deros Tours office at 22 Main Street before 10:15 AM on your first morning. Allow extra time for parking due to ongoing construction on Main Street. The coach departs promptly at 10:15 AM. Your driver provides live commentary throughout both days. The estimated return time to Killarney is approximately 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, though this is an estimate only and may vary due to traffic, roadworks, weather or other delays. If you have a flight or train connection, allow buffer time. Note that on July 3rd, 2027, the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle requires a detour and prevents access to Killarney National Park. The revised route includes a scenic drive through Kenmare instead.

Infants can ride in a pram or stroller and must sit on an adult's lap. Children must be accompanied by an adult. Service animals are allowed. The tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and public transportation options are available near the office.

Is this one for you?Both days run on a fixed schedule with early 10:15 AM departures, so this works best if you're staying in or near Killarney and can arrive at Main Street before 10:00 AM. The route assigned each day is decided on the morning you depart, which keeps the itinerary flexible but means you won't know the exact sequence in advance.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (2 to 14 years); Infant (under 2): free.

What is the Dingle Peninsula like, and why does National Geographic call it "the most beautiful place on earth"?

The Dingle Peninsula is bounded on three sides by the sea and is visited as part of the Slea Head route on this tour. National Geographic's description reflects the combination of coastal scenery, rugged landscape and the peninsula's isolation on the west coast of County Kerry.

Can I choose which route I do on which day, or is that decided for me?

The route assigned to each day is determined on the morning of your first departure, so you don't choose in advance. This allows the operator to balance the group and respond to conditions.

What time do I need to arrive, and where do I meet the tour?

Check in at the Deros Tours office at 22 Main Street before 10:00 AM. The coach departs at 10:15 AM. Allow extra time for parking due to construction on Main Street.

What's included in the two days, and what should I bring or pay for separately?

The tour includes a driver-guide and live commentary on board, plus local taxes. Food and drinks are not included, so bring or budget for meals. Gratuities are not included.

What time will I return to Killarney at the end of each day?

The estimated return time is approximately 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, but this is an estimate only and may vary due to traffic, roadworks, weather or other delays beyond the operator's control.

Will the tour operate on July 3rd, 2027, and if so, what changes?

The tour will operate on July 3rd, but the Ring of Kerry Charity Cycle requires a detour that day. Killarney National Park will not be accessible due to full road closures. Instead, the revised route includes a scenic drive through the town of Kenmare.
