The quest continues, taking us to the tiny fishing village of Portmagee where you have time to explore and grab a bite to eat. Or you could skip all that and head straight to Portmagee Whiskey, because some things take priority.

It's time to coast along the Skellig Ring. This incredible 18km stretch of road is an extension of the Ring of Kerry, and often overlooked... we're not sure why. Get ready for wild views of raw beauty, everything that makes Ireland unfathomable. The best part? Big coaches can't take the road, yet another reason we love our small mini-buses as a way to explore off-the-beaten-track.

As we make our way back towards Killarney, we’ll pause at a few scenic spots within Killarney National Park. This is a landscape where rugged mountains merge with glacial valleys, peaceful woodlands, and the shimmering Lakes of Killarney. And as you take in the sweep of ancient oak forests and wild bogs, it’s easy to see why so many legends are woven into this place.
