Set amidst the stunning scenery of south-west Ireland, Killarney provides the perfect location for a fantastic holiday. This pretty resort’s quaint side streets are bursting with traditional pubs, quality restaurants and colourful shops. Kerry has always offered visitors a great diversity of scenery, culture, leisure activities, ancient history and folklore. The captivating allure of this mountainous area has an abundance of natural beauty, enriched by sub-tropical flora flourishing in an unusually warm and temperate climate. It’s not hard to see why this area is so popular.

Our holidays to the area have always been very popular. This year we are staying at the 4* Killarney Towers Hotel located in the centre of town.

Our local guide who joins us for the fantastic excursions around the ‘Ring of Kerry’ and ‘Dingle Peninsula’ will keep you amused whilst they tell tales of local folklore and the area’s history. Please book early to secure your place!
