Local Knowledge That Makes a Difference
I was born and raised in the area, and as a triathlete I’ve run, cycled, almost every part of the Ring of Kerry and the Iveragh Peninsula. When you arrive, just tell me what you enjoy — walking, swimming, sightseeing, or food — and I’ll happily suggest a personalised itinerary, including local tips you won’t find online.
Getting Around
To explore South Kerry properly, a car is essential. Having your own transport allows you to visit Portmagee, Valentia Island, Skellig Ring viewpoints, beaches, and hill walks at your own pace.
