Your chauffeur will be waiting in the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport with a name card, or can collect you from your Dublin City location. The team monitors your flight electronically and times the pick-up accordingly - you also get one complimentary hour of airport waiting time, so there’s no rushing straight off the plane.
You’ll travel to Inchydoney Island in a Mercedes Benz E220 Executive Class, which comfortably fits up to 3 passengers with luggage - 2 standard 20 kg cases plus 2 small suitcases. The vehicle and chauffeur are fully licensed and insured in line with the Irish Government Transport Authority’s requirements.
Inchydoney Island sits just outside Clonakilty in West Cork, and the drive from Dublin takes you south through the midlands and into one of the most beautiful stretches of the Irish coastline. The route into West Cork is worth the journey in itself, and a private transfer means you can enjoy it rather than wrestle with navigation on unfamiliar roads.
The West Cork coastline around Clonakilty is well worth building time around. If your schedule allows a day or two before or after your stay at Inchydoney, the towns of Skibbereen, Bantry, and Kinsale are all within easy reach and each has its own distinct character.
Clonakilty is known for its food scene, and the town centre has a good selection of local restaurants and cafes. It’s a pleasant spot to spend a few hours and much less busy than the bigger Cork city attractions.
The drive from Dublin to West Cork is typically around 3.5 hours, depending on traffic and the time of departure. Starting your transfer in the morning tends to give you the clearest run through the city and onto the motorway south.
Inchydoney Beach is one of Ireland’s most popular Blue Flag beaches - it tends to get busy in summer, but arriving via a private transfer means your bags are at the door of your accommodation before you even start thinking about the beach.
