What you'll see and do
Uragh Stone Circle
We take the narrow and winding lane into this scenic valley, carved from the last ice age, to visit the mystical stone circle at Uragh which overlooks Lough Inchiquin. From here we have a distant view of the impressive waterfall at the back of the valley, although an optional visit to the Gleninchiquin Park and waterfall can be arranged.
30 minutes here · Admission not included
We head towards Derreen and Lauragh, following the smaller roads that take us away from the well beaten track, revealing exquisite vistas on our way to this scenic area below the Healy Pass and alongside Glanmore Lake. Here we explore the lakeside and the crystal clear river that flows through an enchanting rural landscape. A visit to the woodland gardens at Derreen is also an option here.
45 minutes here
Ardgroom Stone Circle
Situated on a hillside with outstanding views, this dream-like Stone Circle is an optional location we can visit. Although we can park 5 - 10 minutes away, there is a moderate walk through some softer ground, especially if we’re in a wet spell, although it’s well worth the effort.
30 minutes here
Ring of Beara
At Ardgroom Village, we follow the Ring of Beara, a narrow single lane road that follows the coastline, providing a series of panoramic vistas of this wonderful coastal landscape along the wild Atlantic Way.
45 minutes here
Kilcatherine Church and Cemetery
KiIcatherine Church is located above the rugged Atlantic coastline and dates back to the 12th Century. It was built on an earlier ecclesiastical site dating back to the 7th Century. As well as the ruins of the church, we explore the grounds containing many fine examples of headstones with celtic crosses. Enveloped in legends and folklore, we can also discover the Hag of Beara, a little way from the church.
20 minutes here
Ring of Beara
Continuing along the narrow and winding country lanes of the Ring of Beara, we reach the colourful villages of Eyeries and Allihies, giving us access to delightful landscapes and vistas, some of which only the locals ever get to see, as we travel the backroads and cul de sacs that lead us to isolated beaches and coves on the rocky coastline.
60 minutes here
Allihies
Allihies has remnants of 19th Century copper mining in the form of engine houses and their distinctive chimneys as well as mine shafts dotting the landscape. Along the coast we discover the photogenic “Beara Bowl” a natural circular rock formation that faces the open Atlantic Ocean. From here we can visit the cable car that links Dursey Island to the mainland, walk on some of the sandy scenic beaches that are found along the rugged coastline or capture some of the atmospheric famine ruins among the landscape.
60 minutes here
Dunboy Castle and Puxley Mansion
The ruins of the 15th century Dunboy Castle are located at the end of a narrow track at the edge of the channel between Bear Island and Castletownbere. Also of interest are the gatehouses to Puxley Mansion, which looms above the ruins of the castle.
20 minutes here
Castletownbere
We take a break in Castletownbere to explore the ancient fishing port and explore the interesting galleries and charming shop fronts that are found along the main street.
60 minutes here
Healy Pass
A famine relief project, The Healy Pass was built as “The Kerry Pass” linking the north and south sides of the Beara peninsula. Running from Adrigole Bridge in County Cork, the road snakes to the pass where it crosses the Caha mountain range at a height of around 300m and rolls down a scenic valley to Lauragh Bridge in County Kerry. Captivating views over the Kenmare River, Bantry Bay and the Glanmore Lake area are available at various stops along the way.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Killarney.
How much does Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula cost?
+
Prices start at $760 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 Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula take?
+
Plan for about 9 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 Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 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 Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula?
+
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 Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula?
+
Around 0 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Scenic Photo Tour of the Beara Peninsula 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.
