The first town we will go through after leaving Killarney is Killorglin. Where you will learn about the famous Puck Fair
The Kerry Bog Village is a unique and immersive heritage site that offers visitors a rare and authentic glimpse into rural life during the 18th and 19th centuries. It is located in west County Kerry, between the towns of Killorglin and Glenbeigh, and is a popular tourist stop along the Ring of Kerry. The village recreates traditional Irish thatched cottages and the lives of their inhabitants during the 19th century, providing an insight into the culture, customs, and living conditions of the time. Visitors can explore period thatched cottages fully furnished with authentic antiques, sound effects, and figurines, as well as a display of rural farm equipment used by turf cutters and farmers. The village also plays a significant role in the preservation of the Kerry Bog Pony, a native breed that was almost lost to history.
Travel through the beautiful village if Glenbeigh.
The Kerry Cliffs are a natural wonder located on the west coast of Ireland, off the famous Ring of Kerry drive. These cliffs, standing over 1,000 feet above the wild Atlantic Way, offer breathtaking views of the Skellig Islands and the surrounding coastline. Formed over 400 million years ago in a desert environment, the cliffs are a testament to the natural beauty of Ireland. Visitors can enjoy the panoramic views from the viewing platform, which is open year-round, and the cliffs are accessible by car, making them an ideal stop for those exploring the Wild Atlantic Way. The entrance fee is €5, which helps maintain the paths, viewpoints, and safety features. The Kerry Cliffs are a hidden gem that offers a unique experience, away from the crowds and with stunning views that rival the famous Cliffs of Moher. Kerry Cliffs visit subject to weather and safety conditions. Guest safety is our priority.
Pass through the town of Cahersiveen and see the Daniel O'Connell memorial Church,
Waterville, a picturesque coastal town in County Kerry, Ireland, is renowned for its association with Charlie Chaplin. The town's charm and tranquility have made it a favorite holiday destination for the silent film star and his family. The Charlie Chaplin Statue, unveiled in 1998, stands as a tribute to Chaplin's enduring legacy. Sculpted by Alan Ryan Hall, the statue depicts Chaplin as the Tramp, a character from his most famous movies. It overlooks Ballinskelligs Bay and is located just south of Sea Synergy along the waterfront, where Chaplin spent many hours fishing on Lough Currane. The statue's unveiling was a heartfelt gesture by the local community to honor Chaplin's humble presence and the lasting impact he had on the town.

Sheila was an awesome tour guide, with fantastic rapport and storytelling. Sean drove like a true Irish expert on the tight roads of Skellig
Sheila our guide was great! She shared so much knowledge with us, sang some really nice songs and Even shared verses of poetry with us. She made the whole day magical!
We did a one-day tour with Deros Coach Tours on June 6, 2026, and had an amazing experience. We specifically wanted a Ring of Kerry tour that included the Skellig Peninsula and the Kerry Cliffs, and Deros delivered. Our driver, Darren, was knowledgeable, friendly, and full of great insights about the area. The Kerry Cliffs were the highlight—absolutely spectacular. One viewing platform was closed due to wind, but the remaining viewpoint was gorgeous, and Darren added a few extra scenic stops to make up for the closure. Because of the Skellig Ring detour (which can only accommodate smaller buses), many of our Ring of Kerry stops were quiet and uncrowded, which made the day feel more private and relaxed. This tour was one of the best parts of our trip to Ireland. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing and way better than the Cliffs of Moher. You can see down, as well as out and up and down the coast. There are some steep climbs but they have a shuttle. This is on private property but only costs $5euro to enter. Not the easiest to get to but the reward of going is incredible.
We had Sheila as our driver/guide for the Ring of Kerry, Skellig Ring & Kerry Cliffs small group tour. She was a fabulous guide. She was so friendly and gave interesting narration all along the way. A highlight was the lovely Irish songs that she sang for us. The Kerry Cliffs are not to be missed. They are stunning. Having now seen them both, if I could only choose between them and the Cliffs of Moher, I would choose the Kerry Cliffs. The seats on the side of the bus behind the driver have the direct water views, but the scenery was beautiful no matter where you sit. It was such fun to spend the day with Sheila on the beautiful Ring of Kerry. The Skellig ring and Kerry Cliffs are a must see as well. We highly recommend booking this tour with Deros!
We were told this was a newer route for Deros, but you would never have known! Sheila was an absolutely incredible driver and tour guide. She was knowledgeable, personable, and hilarious! The tour and route itself was beautiful, and Sheila even threw in some personal stories that really painted a picture of what it was like to grow up in Ireland. We would definitely recommend doing this Deros tour and especially with Sheila!
We had a group of 8 and we all loved it. Sheila was our guide and she did a wonderful job explaining everything around us and really giving us a feel of the history of Ireland along with personal stories of her life and the past generations of her family in Ireland. Sean did a great job driving the narrow streets and they both sang for us. The scenery was beautiful and of course they stopped in the best areas. We absolutely loved the Kerry Cliffs. Even better than the cliffs of Moher. What a wonderful day.
Amazing! Knowledgeable and personable...Just an exceptional experience!
Our guide Darren was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about the history of Ireland and the sites that we were visiting. I would recommend Deros Tour and Darren without hesitation!!
Our experience with Deros Tours was excellent from beginning to end! The staff inside the shop were courteous and helpful. When we entered our tour bus, it was clean and well maintained. Darren, our tour guide, was respectful, funny and very knowledgeable about the area. (He even gave us a bit of Irish history throughout the trip!) The stops were well explained as was the timing of when we were expected to meet back on the bus. Everyone had an understanding of where we were going and what to expect at each stop. He answered our questions and kept things at a reasonable pace. My family of five had a wonderful time on this tour and we would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to see the Ring of Kerry or any of the local landscape. We mush preferred the smaller tour bus to one of the larger buses. It gave the tour a sense of closeness that couldn’t be matched with a large tour bus. If we ever return to Killarney, we would definitely book another tour with Deros!
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that our shop staff, clean buses, and Darren's excellent guiding all contributed to a memorable family trip. It’s great to know that the pace, clear timing, and the community feel of the smaller tour bus hit the perfect note for you. We truly appreciate the high recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back to Deros Tours next time you visit Killarney!
