Kerry Cliffs via Skellig Ring and Ring of Kerry
Even the wild Irish weather couldn’t ruin this tour
Killarney was my third stop in Ireland, and I was especially excited about it because there were two places I really wanted to visit. After my first tour with Deros Coach, I enjoyed the experience so much that I ended up booking a second one with them. Having already seen the Cliffs of Moher and the cliffs on Inishmore, I really wanted to visit the Kerry Cliffs, so I chose their tour that combines them with the beautiful drive around the Ring of Kerry. Unfortunately, out of my entire two weeks of travelling across Ireland, this day turned out to be a truly wild one weather-wise, the full Irish experience of wind and rain! But Denis still managed to make the trip absolutely magical. Denis was a wonderful guide and driver. He was incredibly knowledgeable and shared many fascinating stories about the places we visited, their history, and local life. His sense of humour and warm personality made the whole journey very enjoyable, even in such challenging weather. He also played some beautiful Irish songs along the way, and a few of them went straight into my playlist afterwards! All in all, even with the worst possible weather for sightseeing, the trip was fantastic thanks to Denis and the whole team. The addition of the Kerry Cliffs makes this tour extra special, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Killarney alongside the classic Ring of Kerry route.

Combination Killarney Jaunting Car Tour and Lakes of Killarney Cruise
Fun Tourist Attraction
The Jaunting Car ride through Killarney National Park is one that most tourists won't want to miss...the horse and car ride is bumpy and spacing is tight, but it's all part of the scene. Our driver, Eric, was full of information...personal...and a bit of a character...His horse was William...en route we saw both Simba and Red deer...and many shore birds, swans...the park itself was splendid. The ride is relatively short...about 45 minutes...and follows a narrow cart road through the park to the fifteenths century Ross Castle where we boarded open boats as the day was clear... Overall, we had an enjoyable ride. Enjoy!
