Dublin to Kenmare is a proper road trip - close to four hours door-to-door. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals lounge at Dublin Airport, or comes to your Dublin City address, loads up your bags, and drives you all the way southwest to Kenmare in Co. Kerry. If you’re travelling in the other direction, the same service runs from The Park Hotel Kenmare back to Dublin.
Your chauffeur tracks your flight electronically, so if there’s a delay on the runway, they already know about it. You travel in a black Mercedes Benz E220 with black leather interior - air-conditioned and comfortable for the long haul. There’s a half-hour service stop built into the journey, which is a welcome break on a four-hour run. Both Android and iPhone chargers are provided, and Wi-Fi is on board throughout.
The boot handles 2 large suitcases and 2 small suitcases. The vehicle also carries an on-board first aid kit, fire extinguisher, and safety kit as standard. All tolls and parking charges are included in the price, so there are no surprises at the end.
This is a one-way transfer. If you need both directions, book each leg separately.
Kenmare is a proper town, not just a stopover. It sits at the head of the Kenmare River estuary in South Kerry, with the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks mountains rising behind it. The town itself is walkable and well worth an evening wander - the triangular layout of the streets fills up with good restaurants and pubs, and the Monday market at the town square is one of the better ones in Kerry if your timing works out.
The Ring of Kerry starts and ends right here. Most people drive it clockwise from Killarney, but you can pick it up from Kenmare just as easily - and in some ways the views open up better heading that direction. If you only have a day to play with, the short run out to Sneem and back gives you a taste of the coastal scenery without committing to the full loop.
Kenmare Bay is good for water-based activities. Sea kayaking and boat tours go out from the pier, and the sheltered bay makes it calmer than the more exposed Atlantic spots further west. The area around Gleninchaquin Park, about 20 minutes out of town, has looped walks with waterfalls that are well worth the detour.
Planning your meals. Kenmare has a disproportionately good food scene for a town its size. Seafood is the obvious choice - the bay keeps the supply fresh. Book ahead in summer, particularly for weekend evenings, as the town draws visitors from across Kerry and beyond.
