You will hear traditional Irish music in the evenings and eat wonderful local cuisine and fresh seafood in local restaurants and pubs.

And with Wolfhound Adventure Tours there's no need to rush - as well as over-nighting on the Ring of Kerry Atlantic coast, in the magical mountain setting of Gougane Barra and the colourful traditional town of Kenmare on the Ring of Kerry, we spend a double overnight in the stunning fishing town of Dingle which means there's no need to pack every day.
