DM Executive Line runs a fully private, door-to-door chauffeur transfer between Dublin Airport and Ballybunion in north Kerry. You travel in a Mercedes-Benz with a certified professional driver, and the team monitors your flight so if it lands early or runs a bit late, your driver already knows and you’ll still be met on arrival.
Your chauffeur greets you at hotel reception, helps with the luggage, and has you on the road without fuss. The roughly 3 hours and 20 minute run to Ballybunion includes a 15-minute comfort stop along the way. There’s 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time built in for airport transfers, so a slow baggage carousel or a longer-than-usual immigration queue won’t cause any problems.
Your chauffeur meets you at your hotel reception, assists with luggage, and transfers you to your destination. This is a fully private transfer - just your group, no shared vehicle.
Ballybunion is a proper old-fashioned Irish seaside town - castle ruins on the cliff, two beaches separated by a headland, and a golf club that’s been drawing serious players from around the world for decades. Ballybunion Golf Club is one of the great links courses in Ireland, so if you play, book well in advance.
The cliff walks around the castle are one of those things that sounds simple but stays with you. The castle itself is a ruin, but the setting above the Atlantic gives you a view that stretches on a clear day further than you’d expect. The caves below are accessible at low tide if you’re curious and wearing appropriate footwear.
Ballybunion’s two beaches - Nun’s Strand and the main town beach - are separated by the castle headland and have slightly different characters. Nun’s Strand is smaller and often quieter, while the main beach is more open and better for a long walk when the tide is out.
North Kerry is worth exploring beyond the town itself. Listowel, about 15 minutes away, is a literary town that punches well above its weight - it produced John B. Keane and Bryan MacMahon among others, and the Writers’ Week festival in early June is one of the better literary festivals in the country. The town square is handsome and the pubs are the kind you’d hope to find.
