Inch Beach

Dingle
The pretty fishing port of Dingle - Daingin Uí Chúis - nestles on the edge of a large natural estuary on the southwestern coast of the Dingle Peninsula. On the southern edge of a mountain ridge that separates the east from the western end of the Peninsula, all roads lead through Dingle town. With a population of 2,000 and a large hinterland, this is the hub and commercial centre for the Dingle Peninsula. From the harbor front, colorful buildings and ancient street patterns clamber up the green hilly lowlands of the Brandon mountain range that protectively guards the town from the north. A creative and imaginative place, Dingle is a town of many charms, known for quality food and restaurants, interesting shops and galleries, a friendly dolphin, and vibrant street life.
90 minutes here
Slea Head Drive
Slea Head Drive, one of Ireland's most scenic routes, takes you on a journey through historic sites, Irish-speaking villages, famous Hollywood film locations, with close-up views of the world-renowned Blasket Islands and distant views of the Skellig Islands on the southwestern horizon. The Slea Head Drive (Slí Cheann Sléibhe) is a circular route, forming part of the Wild Atlantic Way, beginning and ending in Dingle, that takes in a large number of attractions and stunning views on the western end of the Dingle Peninsula. Travelers are strongly advised to travel clockwise in order to avoid meeting the large tour buses that frequent the route during the summer. Part of the Slea Head cliff road is very narrow and single lane only. The route is suitable for motorists but is also enjoyed by cyclists - bicycles can be hired at a number of locations in Dingle.
240 minutes here
Conor Pass
Only accessible for cars or mini-vans. The Conor Pass is one of the highest mountain passes in Ireland and provides the most dramatic and scenic way of crossing from the north to south coast of the Dingle Peninsula. This narrow, twisting road runs for 12kms between the town of Dingle on the south and Kilmore Cross on the north of the peninsula, where roads fork to Cloghane/Brandon or Castlegregory. The views from the road are breathtaking, with a glaciated landscape of mountains, corrie lakes, and a broad sweeping valley spread out below.
45 minutes here
Dunquin
Dunquin Pier is located in a stunning scenery on a coastal stretch framed by huge cliffs. A narrow road winds its way down to the pier, where the shortest ferry connection to Blasket Islands goes.

This was a great tour! ...
This was a great tour! The weather was perfect for us and the scenery stunning. I do believe this would be less impressive though if the weather was foggy. Our driver, Sheila, was lovely. She provided great history along the way and gave us a great suggestion for where to eat while in Dingle. As well, she also suggested a great jewellery shop in Dingle where I got a nice unique keepsake for my daughters.

Amazing day
David our host was fantastic and very informative. He skipped the places we weren’t as interested and allowed more time in other areas. Dingle is stunning and stop at the museum representing the Basket Islands.

What can we say? Being...
What can we say? Being given a tour by a Kerry born and bred local guide through some of the world’s most beautiful scenery was nothing but perfection! Jim was a terrific driver too and made us feel very comfortable on those narrow winding roads.
Response from the operator: We're so happy to hear you enjoyed your tour out with Jim and will make sure to pass your commetns on to him! All the best from everyone here at Killarney Executive Tour Co!

Great Tour
Frank our guide was a pleasure to be with. Lots of information and excellent vehicle as well. I would highly recommend him.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and rating of our Private Dingle & Slea Head Tour - We're so pleased to hear you enjoyed your time out with Frank and hope we can welcome you back again in the future!

It was ok
We found out the morning of the tour that the scheduled driver called out sick. The driver who filled in was friendly, but was not from the area and had limited knowledge or recommendations as to what we should see. We cut the tour short so we could experience more of the area on our own.
Response from the operator: Hi, Thank you for your feedback, our replacement driver is a qualified Kerry guide so we're sorry to hear that you were not satisfied with your private tour experience. We are always looking for ways to improve our tours so will take your feedback on board and review the booking. Kind regards, Killarney Executive Tour Co.

Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Killarney.
How much does Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $599 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Killarney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Killarney is not rushed.
Is Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Killarney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Killarney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Killarney and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dingle and Slea Head Private Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Killarney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Killarney?
+
On Outty we rank every Killarney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Killarney National Park Tour, Full-Day Tour of the Dingle Peninsula, Slea Head, and Inch Beach, Ring Of Kerry Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Killarney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Killarney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
