On the 28th may I went on the Ring of Kerry. The coach arrived on time which is always good to see. There was no seat empty and the day flew by. We stopped off at killorgin and other interesting places but my favourite was the ladies view our last stop. The view was breathtaking. I didnt give it 5... more

We decided to drive the ring clockwise as we were coming from Cork. However, if you decided to do it this way, plan your time for the first stops or do them as another day trip from Killarney. We spent most of the morning at Muckross House and the Torc Waterfall, arriving in Kenmare for lunch and not having gone... more

I agree with the assessment to drive counter clock wise WITH the tour buses. We just drove it in February 09. The road is pretty easy in several areas and can be tricky in others. By drving on the inside lane you take out any scary turns especially between Waterville and Sneem (although there is a 2 foot wall all... more

If you really want to appreciate this lovely scenery, don't go round counter clockwise! The left-side of the road is nearest to the coastline so you see more. We were staying in Kenmare in August(Watersedge) so our first stop was Sneem. Not a tourist in sight, in fact very few indeed not even a coach until we arrived at Waterville.... more

Make sure to get a map at the tourist shop before beginning. Spend the extra money to get the one that shows all the stops along the way in detail. We got the overview one and missed some things we wanted to see. Be sure to start early, as this is an all day trip, could even be a two-day... more

We went on tour of Ireland in 2005 and one of my favorite spots was circling the Rings of Kerry.....We were in a tour bus and listening to Irish music playing as we bumped along the narrow roads. I loved all the greenery and sheep. It was such a pleasant experience. Would so love to go back some year, very... more

If you're visiting the Ring of Kerry don't bother to stop at Portmagee, especially if you are there to sample the Moorings bar! The Moorings has to have been one of the worst pubs I went to in Ireland; the staff are grumpy and rude, the food was awful and expensive! I ordered the Irish Stew, which was tasteless,and so... more

If you are driving the RING OF KERRY, I suggest you drive COUNTER-clockwise WITH the tour bus traffic. You don't want to have to SQUEEZE by these big ole busses! The first half of the RING (if starting around Killarney) is pretty, but doesn't have the SPECTACULAR ocean views that the last half does. It's still worth the drive though! more

I would like everyone to visit the ring of Kerry if not independantly then go with a tour, me, I would suggest going it alone that way you can stop at your own pace and take in the views for as long as you like. My own favourites were the Ladies view,mcgillicuddy reeks,Gap of Dunloe and the view of Dingle,... more
