Roaming the Ring of Kerry: Portmagee & Skellig Ring

You came here for an adventure and there’s no greater feeling of adventure than coasting alongside a wild Irish landscape off to Rabbie’s-knows-where. The Ring of Kerry is famous around the world for a reason and now it’s your turn to experience all it has to offer. The Ring of Kerry boasts some of Ireland’s most dramatic natural scenery, dotted with prehistoric and early Christian sites, and iconic views around every corner. Leaving Killarney Town, we start our journey along the famous Ring of Kerry, Ireland’s famous coastal route. We’ll stop for photos along the way where we can – if we had our way, we’d stop every two metres!

Your Irish adventure continues to the tiny fishing village of Portmagee where you have time to explore, grab a bite to eat, or skip straight to Portmagee Whiskey, because some things take priority. And because we pride ourselves on taking you somewhere a little less explored, it’s time to coast along the Skellig Ring. This incredible 18km stretch of road is an extension of the Ring of Kerry and often overlooked… we’re not sure why. Get ready for wild views of raw beauty, everything that makes Ireland unfathomable. We then head to Derrynane House, a treasure trove of Irish history and natural beauty, where you have time to explore this historic landmark.

As we start to make our way back towards Killarney, we’ll make a few stops along the way. We’ll keep it flexible, because who knows what the day will bring. By now your camera might be exhausted… but we can’t miss Torc Waterfall. A 20-metre-high waterfall roaring into existence all the way from the Devil’s Punchbowl lake. But it’s the mythology surrounding this place we love the most. ‘Torc’ translates to Boar and there’s a legend that involves a local man, a curse, and the Devil. But we don’t want to give away all of its secrets now – that’s what the tour is for. Worry not that the tour is over, you’ve got some unforgettable memories as souvenirs.
