What's this trip about?
Prepare to be awed by the dramatic scenery of County Kerry. From sprawling green fields to jagged coastline, to mountains and lakes and farmland.

Stay in a charming cottage either in the Irish countryside or in the colorful village of Kenmare. Inquire about the possibility of seeing the region without a rental car.
