Day 11 Ring of Kerry Optional National Folk Theatre performance

On this morning's included tour, you'll discover the Ring of Kerry, a drive that traces the coastline of the Iveragh Peninsula and offers breathtaking views. There is always something new to appreciate in the combination of ocean, islands, mountains, light, and ever-changing weather patterns. We ride most of the way, making scenic stops.

The first town along the route is Killorglin, where an elegant eight-arched bridge crosses the River Laune. Then you'll advance to the water's edge at Kells, an attractive fishing village with panoramic viewing points.

The next stretch is one of the highlights of the Ring, with outstanding views of the coastline. On the return to Killarney, the route takes you through the picturesque village of Sneem, where you'll have an included lunch, and Ladies View, named after Queen Victoria's ladies-in-waiting. The vistas of lakes and mountains remain magnificent today.

Upon returning to Killarney, you'll have the rest of the day at leisure to explore independently, and dinner is on your own. Perhaps you'll choose to ride on a jaunting car (a traditional Irish horse-drawn carriage) for a tour of the lush forested environs of Killarney National Park.

Or, join us for an optional performance by the National Folk Theatre, the country's only repertory company, with an included three-course dinner. Using traditional Irish disciplines, the group offers a cultural experience dramatizing the essence of Irish culture. Please note: This optional tour is available on late May-early September departures only.

Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch
Dinner is on your own tonight.
