Pickup — Manor West, Tralee (if pickup requested)
Meet your driver at your Tralee accommodation or at the Manor West start point if no pickup is required. Brief safety orientation and tour outline before departing.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your pickup address in Tralee the evening before so the driver can plan the most direct route.
- Have any required infant seats requested in advance; the vehicle is air-conditioned.
- Bring a light jacket for the start of the day; coastal temperatures change quickly.
Castleconway, Killorglin
Short photo and orientation stop at the Killorglin area to introduce the ring route and local history.
Tips from local experts:
- Watch for narrow roadside pull-ins; step carefully onto grassy verges for photos.
- Keep cameras ready for quick roadside photo stops — views change rapidly along the route.
- This is a brief stop (photo/overview) — plan longer visits later in towns if you want to explore.
Kerry Bog Village (Glenbeigh)
Visit the reconstructed village and peatland exhibits to learn about local rural life and turf cutting traditions.
Tips from local experts:
- Allow time to stroll the outdoor exhibits; paths are mostly flat but can be uneven after rain.
- If you prefer sheltered interpretation, ask the guide for the most sheltered indoor displays first.
- Wear comfortable shoes; wooden walkways and grassy surfaces are common around the displays.
Cahergall Fort (drive-by / short stop)
Short stop to view an ancient stone fort along the peninsula — quick photo opportunity and guide commentary.
Tips from local experts:
- This stop is typically brief and may be a roadside pull-in; wear shoes suitable for a short uneven surface.
- Keep belongings secure — popular photo points can be windy.
- Follow the guide’s directions when stepping slightly off-road for photos to avoid boggy ground.

Drive-through and short stop at the picturesque harbour village of Portmagee; time for photos and a stretch.
Tips from local experts:

Kerry Cliffs (photo stop)

Waterville (short lunch/refreshment stop)
Brief break in Waterville for a snack, restroom use or a quick seaside walk. This window can be used for a light independent meal.
Tips from local experts:
- If you need a seated meal, ask the guide to recommend a café with table service; busy summer days fill quickly.
