Ring of Kerry og Skellig Ring privat tur
Beskrivelse
Den berømte Ring of Kerry betragtes som en af Irlands smukkeste naturskønne køreture, og vi vil besøge historiske seværdigheder, storslåede udsigter, hyggelige små landsbyer og mange steder uden for den slagne vej på vores tur. Wild Atlantic Tours har specialiseret sig i at tilbyde prisvindende guidede ture i Kerry og det sydvestlige Irland. Vi er en familiedrevet virksomhed baseret i Killarney, County Kerry. Vores mission er at 'sikre, at hver og en af vores gæster virkelig nyder deres tid med Wild Atlantic Tours, og at de tager af sted efter at have oplevet vores kultur, besøgt vores skjulte perler og chattet med befolkningen i vores smukke land.' Paudie er født og opvokset i South Kerry og nyder at dele de smukke steder, hvor han voksede op, med sine gæster.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Et stop ved kysten af den smukke Lough Leane i udkanten af Killarney.
Cahergall Stone Fort blev bygget omkring 600AD. Med mure omkring 6 m høje og omkring 3 m tykke er dette tørre stenmurfort et af de bedste eksempler på et tidligt middelalderligt stenfort, der findes på Ring of Kerry.
Valentia Island ligger lige ud for den sydvestlige kyst af County Kerry og er et af Irlands vestligste punkter. Det kombinerer fascinerende historie, smuk natur og en interessant kulturscene, hvilket gør det til et fantastisk sted at besøge på Ring of Kerry.
Slate Quarry åbnede første gang i 1816 under ledelse af Knight of Kerry og har været et fungerende stenbrud til og fra siden den dato. Dette nyligt genåbnede stenbrud er berømt for kvaliteten af den skifer, der brydes, og er berømt for at levere skiferen til Paris Opera House, Londons Houses of Parliament og mange billardborde, herunder et lavet til hertugen af Wellington og dronning Victoria.
Stedet for Cromwell Point Lighthouse var oprindeligt hjemsted for et Cromwellsk fort fra det 17. århundrede, som var et af to bygget på Valentia Island omkring dette tidspunkt. Omridset af Cromwell Point-fortet med dets bastioner og barak inde i muren kan stadig nemt spores fra luften, der ligger lige inden for fyrtårnets indhegning. Fortet blev vedligeholdt efter restaureringen, og der er forskellige statspapirer om dets reparation i perioden 1663-1665. Det blev nedlagt i 1669. Det første lys til Cromwell Point blev oprindeligt ansøgt om den 30. marts 1828 af den højre æresmand Maurice Fitzgerald, ridder af Kerry. Arbejdet med fyret påbegyndtes ti år senere i 1838, lyset blev første gang udstillet den 1. februar 1841. Siden november 1947 har lyset været automatiseret.
Portmagee er en dejlig fiskerby i det sydvestlige amt Kerry på Valentia Harbour, hvorfra du kan krydse broen over til Valentia Island.
Kerry Cliffs er bredt accepteret som de mest spektakulære klipper i Kerry. Klipperne står over 1000 fod over det vilde Atlanterhav og blev dannet i et ørkenmiljø for 400 millioner år siden. Ude mod vest står de fantastiske Skellig Rocks, et af kun tre UNESCOs verdensarvssteder i Irland. Selvfølgelig er Kerry Cliffs det nærmeste udsigtspunkt til de store klipper og også den berømte Puffin Island. Allieret dig med disse fakta, mens du står på toppen af dette mystiske sted og trækker vejret i den friskeste luft, dybt ind i dine lunger fra det vilde Atlanterhav og observerer dette naturlige vidunder. Du kan slappe af og slappe af og observere den majestætiske udsigt herfra, som rækker ud over 30 miles af de omkringliggende områder.
Ballinskelligs strand er 1,0 km af pletfri sandstrand, der ligger i Ballinskelligs Bay ved Mc Carthys Castle. Adskilt fra Ballinskelligs mole ved Ballinskelligs Abbey, stranden er en af de bedst bevarede hemmeligheder i South Kerry og har været en favorit blandt lokale familier i mange år. Det er en internationalt anerkendt strand med blåt flag.
Waterville (An Coireán) er en lille kystlandsby beliggende mellem Atlanterhavet og Lough Currane på den naturskønne og berømte Ring of Kerry langs Wild Atlantic Way.
Sneem er en farverig landsby i det sydvestlige Kerry, velsignet med udsøgt landskab, vilde landskaber og imponerende Kerry-bjerge. Navnet Sneem betyder 'knuden', der binder Ring of Kerry sammen. Her fører Killarney Mountain Road og Ring of Kerry's Kenmare og Waterville Roads alle til Sneem.
Ladies View er omkring 19 miles fra Killarney. Udsigten her er nok den bedst kendte af Killarney og er en stor attraktion for besøgende. Dronning Victorias ventedamer besøgte her under det kongelige besøg i 1861. De var så betaget af udsigten, at det blev opkaldt efter dem.
Torc Waterfall ligger cirka 7 kilometer fra Killarney Town. En kort gåtur på ca. 200 meter bringer dig til vandfaldet.

Great tour! Paudie was such a good tour guide. He is originally from the area so knows everyone and takes you too great locations. The cliffs of Kerry are beautiful and he makes the experience feel like a VIP tour. Made the long day feel fun and the van was very comfortable
A big gratitude to Paudie our driver was super friendly and knowledgable. He took our family on the ROC tour with several extra stops along the way. His van was very comfortable and fit all 6 of us. Paudie also helped us get the most out of this trip. He gave us tips on the best things to see and do in the area. He really made the trip easy for us. We have a memorable trip. Thank you, Kim
Great way to see the Kerry Cliffs and Valentia Island that you can’t get from a regular tour bus. Our guide Paudie was great and goes places others don’t. A fantastic way to experience the real Ireland.
Upon recommendation from my cousin, my husband and I booked a private tour of the Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring with Paudie. We are so glad that we took her advice, as we had the best day! We saw so much of the area that we never would have been able to find or see if we had driven ourselves. Paudie was a wealth of historical and local knowledge, and he knew right where to go for the best access to all of the major sites and hidden local gems too. We lucked out and had beautiful weather during our tour and time in Ireland, which made this tour all the more spectacular!

We had an amazing day! Paudie Murphy was friendly and funny. We saw all the sites on the tour and even a couple spontaneous things too! Paudie is born and raised in the area. He knows all the history; his family is still local; and he recommended great restaurants for dinner.

Our private tour of the Ring of Kerry and Skellig Ring with Paudie was an unforgettable journey through some of Ireland’s most stunning landscapes. Paudie’s extensive knowledge and engaging storytelling brought the region’s history to life. We especially appreciated his personal touch, as he shared heartfelt stories from his childhood growing up in a town along the Ring of Kerry. One of the highlights was our visit to Valentia Island, where the serene beauty and historical significance left a lasting impression. Paudie also recommended a fantastic local restaurant for lunch, and the meal was absolutely delicious. The vehicle was spotless, spacious, and incredibly comfortable, making the winding roads a pleasure to travel. We loved having the flexibility to stop for photos and take in the breathtaking views at our own pace.
