Several locations in the Dingle Peninsula have served as filming locations for Star Wars movies, particularly for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." One prominent spot is Ceann Sibeal (also known as Sybil Head), which was featured as the location for the Jedi Temple on the planet Ahch-To. The rugged cliffs and stunning scenery of Ceann Sibeal provided a fitting backdrop for key scenes involving Luke Skywalker and Rey. Additionally, the nearby island of Skellig Michael, although not technically part of the Dingle Peninsula, was also used extensively in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Skellig Michael served as the filming location for the remote Jedi hermitage where Luke Skywalker was found at the end of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and where Rey seeks his guidance in "The Last Jedi." These Star Wars filming locations have further heightened the allure of the Dingle Peninsula for visitors, combining its natural beauty with the magic of cinematic storytelling.
The Gallarus Oratory is a remarkable ancient structure located on the Dingle Peninsula in County Kerry, Ireland. Dating back to the early Christian period, it is believed to have been built between the 6th and 9th centuries AD.

Rory was an excellent tour guide. He had an itinerary, but was completely flexible. We were able to stay at any stop for as long as we desired and he was able to adjust the route to better fit our needs. He knew many of the locals and seemed to know the ins and outs of each location, which maximized our time before large crowds arrived.

Excellent tour. We were very fortunate to have beautiful sunny weather. The water is spectactular. The colors so beautiful. We even got to walk down to a beach, but the views from above on the cliffs were so pretty. The highlight for me because I love animals, especially baby ones, was feeding a baby lamb a bottle and then holding it after! Our tour guide was very knowledgable and funny. Unfortunately there was a child on the tour so he said he had to leave out tome of the better stories.

Our tour guide was a local and very knowledgeable about the area. Plus he navigated the narrow roads with ease and despite only having three hours we were able to see and experience so much. The smaller group and bus provided a more intimate experience and was able to reach places the big busses can't.
Thank you very much for your kind review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the smaller group experience helped make the day more personal and enjoyable. The narrow roads and hidden corners of the Dingle Peninsula are best explored in smaller vehicles, so we're glad you were able to experience so much in just three hours. Thank you for joining us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Kind regards, Rory Dingle Slea Head Tours
