Your chauffeur is waiting in the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport, name card out, ready to take your bags and get you on your way. Once you’re in the car, that’s the last decision you have to make for the next four to five hours - the drive south to Tralee is yours to enjoy.
There’s a 45-minute lunch stop built into the journey, which gives you a chance to stretch, eat, and take a breath before you arrive in Kerry. If you need a return transfer, you can book the same trip for your return date - just include your pick-up time, pick-up location, and drop-off details when you book.
Tralee is the gateway to the Dingle Peninsula. Most visitors pass through on their way to Dingle, but the town itself is worth a proper look. The Kerry County Museum on Ashe Street is one of the better regional museums in the country - well curated, genuinely interesting, and free on certain days.
The Rose of Tralee festival runs in August. If your trip overlaps with it, book your accommodation well in advance - the town fills up completely and the atmosphere is lively. If crowds aren’t your thing, it’s worth knowing that Tralee quietens down considerably outside of festival season.
Brandon Creek is about 40 minutes west. It’s the spot where Saint Brendan is said to have set sail to discover America. The road to get there is narrow and spectacular, with views over the Blasket Islands on a clear day. It’s a worthwhile detour if you have a car while you’re in Kerry.
Listowel is just 27 km north and well worth a stop. It’s a literary town with a strong writers’ festival tradition - Listowel Writers’ Week is held every June - and the town square is one of the most handsome in Munster.
