- Convenient pickup and drop-off in Cork
What to expect
Catch your coach in Cork, where you can settle in to a comfortable seat and enjoy the views on the ride to Killarney: the day's first stop. Have a look around the town before proceeding to Killorglin, home to the ancient Puck Fair, a Celtic festival dating to 1613.
Proceed along the Ring of Kerry to the Dingle Peninsula, where you stop at Inch Beach, Dingle Bay, and other spots to get views of the Skellig Islands. Next up is Waterville, perched on Ballinskelligs Bay and home to one of Ireland's most famous golf clubs. Drive through the colorful village of Sneem, where the Sneem River meets Kenmare Bay, and then on to Killarney National Park, one of the first in Ireland. Make a stop at the tumbling Torc Waterfall and maybe see some of the local red deer before heading back to Cork.
With all the driving on narrow roads, you'll be glad you booked a tour including transportation instead of going it on your own.

We had a great day out with excellent weather & an equally excellent guide. Martin had a welcoming & kind disposition, was informative in a thoughtful way, was calm & courteous to all. My husband & I really appreciated him, the ring of Kerry itself made even better because of him leading our group.

Our day tour went very smoothly. We left an expensive Aran islands sweater on the bus. Gosia from the Cork office went out of her way to coordinate with us with a Dublin guide Jackie to get the sweater returned all the way to Dublin where we were staying next. We are so appreciative and impressed by their customer service. Thank you so much Paddywagon!

Our driver made the trip enjoyable. We had a rented car but chose PaddyWagon tours so that everyone in our group could enjoy the view along the way.

Was visiting Cork with a friend and we decided to go on the Ring of Kerry tour. The whole experience was fantastic!! When we booked the tour Goshe in the office in Cork was so helpful and friendly.
The tour itself was brilliant, and that was mainly due to our driver Martin who told us lots of information about Kerry and Ireland, along with entertaining stories, as well as some great Irish music. On the day there were a few challenging passengers who got back to the bus late each time, but Martin dealt with this so well.
The bus itself was not the usual Paddywagon bus, but there was a great reason for this. Several of the buses had gone to Ukraine with supplies and then brought Ukrainians back to Ireland - well done to all involved!
If you’re looking for a fun and interesting day trip from Cork, I would highly recommend this tour.

Excellent experience. Very kind driver, the trip was really great. Also as we were very lucky with the weather, we made some extra stops for sight seeing and pics. I would definitely travel with Paddywagon again and recommend it to my friends

Probably the best way of visiting the Ring of Kerry if you don't want to drive and don't have much time to visit this area. It was rainy but we've seen some pretty spectacular places and the driver DJ kept us company with his sense of humor and the stories behind each place we were passing through.

Hi, are there any COVID requirements for the tour? We are coming from the US in April; negative test, vaccination card, etc?

Do they have a parking lot where the tour starts?

The Paddywagons Bridge office is situated on a very busy street corner, and certainly no day parking in the adjoining streets. Suggest you download a city centre map and find where the nearest official car parks are situated. Not far to walk from the main street across the river. Office is right opposite the main bridge.

We booked off a Cruise ship so they had space reserved for this tour and others. It would be better to book in advance but you likely would still be able to get on a tour just prior to your arrival.

Why is the top age bracket 19-64 - do they not allow you on the tour if you are over 64?
