Spend 7 or 8 nights in the heart of Ireland's Kingdom. Enjoy this relaxed vacation or explore the wonders of Killarney, The Ring of Kerry, West Cork and County Clare.

County Kerry is known throughout Ireland as "The Kingdom", originating from a legend that it was the Kingdom of Ciar, one of Ireland's ancient Clans.

This self drive vacation of Ireland offers visitors the chance to experience Ireland’s diverse scenery, culture and leisure activities as the counties of Cork, Kerry and Clare are explored and some of the most varied and spectacular scenery in the country is enjoyed.

Steeped in ancient history and folklore, the South West is rugged, mountainous and scattered with crystal clear lakes and meandering rivers, making it the perfect destination for a truly memorable Ireland vacation or honeymoon in Ireland.

Once visited, never forgotten, and more than just stunning scenery; it is the people from the South West that really make a lasting impression. Both warm and friendly, they are always willing to help a visitor with directions and a smile, so you will feel very welcome especially during the evenings in a local village pub, which you will find many of which host impromptu traditional music sessions!

Nearby airports are Cork Airport and Shannon Airport.

We also offer escourted tours of Ireland for individuals and groups, and we can even arrange great deals on guided chauffeur vacations in Ireland.
