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.

Best Tour of my Ireland Vacation
This was our favorite tour of our two week vacation to Ireland. Part of what made it special was our driver and guide Des Murphy. He was outstanding. The countryside speaks for itself with the beauty and antiquity of the environment. But Des provided us with new knowledge and a deeper understanding of the Irish people, their culture and struggle through the years. If you are trying to decide between Ring of Kerry and this tour, do this one.
Operator response

Des will be thrilled with your kind words. His local knowledge, stories and passion for the history and culture of the area really do bring the peninsula to life.
Go raibh míle maith agaibh for travelling with us, and we hope you take many great memories of Dingle home with you! ☘️

Excellent experience!
I’m so glad I booked this tour instead of attempting to drive Slea Head myself! The roads are incredibly narrow, parking is limited, and I know I would have driven right past half the interesting stops along the way. Our guide was wonderful—friendly, patient, and gave us clear instructions at each of the five or six stops. He struck exactly the right balance between interesting commentary and helpful advice without talking nonstop. I absolutely loved this tour and would definitely recommend it!

Des was an amazing host...
Des was an amazing host for this trip, knowledgeable, fun and kept us on time and entertained.
My only critique directed at the organisation and not host/driver is we found out that others that joined the trip were charged 25 euros per person less than us that booked via the portal. Thats a big mark up!
Operator response
Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear you had such a great tour with Des!
Regarding the price, your booking was made through a third-party booking platform, which charges commission on bookings. Unfortunately, these fees are outside of our control. For the best available price, we always recommend booking directly with Dingle Slea Head Tours through our own website.
Thanks again for joining us, and we hope you enjoyed your time in Dingle.
