Killarney, located in southwest Ireland’s County Kerry, serves as the gateway to one of the country’s most iconic journeys—the Ring of Kerry. This dramatic drive circles the Iveragh Peninsula, threading through rugged coastlines, soaring mountain ranges, and traditional villages. Deros Coach Tours offers a finely tuned, guided experience of this spectacular route with their Ring of Kerry Coach Tour, a favorite for visitors wanting to soak in Ireland’s natural and cultural highlights efficiently and comfortably.
The tour begins at Deros’ office on Main Street, Killarney, where passengers board a modern coach with award-winning local guides. Over approximately five and a half hours, the route covers the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks, the country’s highest mountain range featuring peaks like Carrauntoohil at 1,038 meters.
