8 Hours Private Tour in Kerry

Step back in time to 19th Century Ireland the Kerry Bog Village explores Ireland’s rural history, heritage and lifestyle. Visitors will experience the culture, customs and living conditions of our great ancestors through the famine years, and late 19th century. The village has period thatched cottages, fully furnished with authentic antiques, complete with sound effects and figurines. Outdoors, they display a fabulous array of rural farm equipment, used by turf cutters and farmers of the time period.

In the village, you will also see the once almost extinct ‘Kerry Bog Pony’ and the world’s tallest dogs the ‘Irish Wolfhound’.

Travel on a small car ferry from Reenard point to Knightstown on Valentia island. Drive around the island seeing the old slate quarry and learning about the transatlantic telegraph cable that went from Valentia Island to New Foundland.

Kerry Cliffs are widely accepted as the most spectacular cliffs in Kerry.

The cliffs stand over 1000ft above the wild Atlantic and were formed in a desert environment 400 million years ago. Out to the west stand the amazing Skellig Rocks one of only three UNESCO world heritage sites in Ireland. Of course the Kerry Cliffs are the closest viewing point to the great rocks and also the famous Puffin Island. Allied with these facts as you stand at the summit of this mystical place and breath in the freshest of air, deep in to your lungs from the wild Atlantic and observe this natural wonder.
