Today you have a chance to join our optional excursion to Blarney, where you can explore the village, or visit the castle, which incorporates the famous ‘Blarney Stone’ (entrance extra).

Tralee is the gateway to the Dingle Peninsula which we explore today on our included excursion, where breathtaking views abound.

The peninsula is dominated by the range of mountains that form its spine, running from the Slieve Mish to Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second-highest peak.
