A comfortable, direct way to get from Dublin Airport or Dublin city to Dingle in County Kerry, without the effort of car hire or unfamiliar roads after a flight. Your chauffeur picks you up in a Mercedes-Benz E220, fully licensed and insured under the Irish Government Transport Authority, and drives you straight to your Dingle destination.
This is a one-way transfer only. If you need the return journey, you’ll need to book a separate transfer. The vehicle takes a maximum of 2-3 passengers with 2 large suitcases. You’ll need to confirm passenger numbers, pickup and drop-off addresses, and luggage details at the time of booking.
There’s a 15-30 minute service stop built into the journey - useful given the four-hour drive from Dublin. WiFi and bottled water are on board throughout.
Dingle town is small enough to explore on foot within an hour. The main street loops around the harbour, and most of the pubs, restaurants, and shops are within a ten-minute walk of each other. Foxy John’s - a hardware shop and pub in the same building - is the kind of place that only exists in small Irish towns and worth a look even if you’re not thirsty.
The Slea Head Drive is the obvious first full day out from Dingle. It’s a signposted loop around the western end of the peninsula that takes in the Blasket Islands viewpoint, the Gallarus Oratory (one of the best-preserved early Christian oratories in Ireland), and a series of Iron Age and early medieval sites scattered across the hillsides. Allow three to four hours at a relaxed pace.
Fungie the dolphin is no longer in Dingle harbour, but the town is still very much a working fishing port. The early morning is a good time to be around the pier - the boats come and go, and the harbour is livelier before the day-tripper coaches arrive around 10am.
Mount Brandon is accessible from the north side of the peninsula. At just over 950 metres it’s the second highest peak in Ireland, and the route from Brandon Creek on a clear day gives you views across to the Blasket Islands and south to the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks. It’s a serious hill walk and requires proper gear - not a casual afternoon trip - but worth planning if hillwalking is part of why you’re in Kerry.
