Places Not To Be Missed On Your Kerry Visit

Here are my top County Kerry travel tips so you don't miss any of these spectacular highlights on your Irland tour. We have visited all of these places many times before and probably will visit them again because they are so magnificent!

A Trip To The Skellig Islands

This is undoubtedly the absolute highlight. A tour not to be missed in my opinion. A boat trip to the Skelligs is a unique experience that couples a nature adventure with the fascinating Irish history. Climb the ancient steps built by monks up to the historic monastic settlement on a rocky small island in the middle of the Atlantic. I don't think there is a place alike in this world!

Caherdaniel and Derrynane

Derrynane beach is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Ireland. This is a great beach for watersports, horse riding, walking or just enjoying the beautiful Atlantic scenery.
Derrynane House was the home of Daniel O'Connell, an important figure of Irish history. The house and garden are open to the public. Come back into the village of Caherdaniel after your visit to the beach and enjoy some original Irish pubs.
