Additional Information
There’s a lot to explore on the Skellig Ring Tour like the Skellig Micheal, taste-testing at the Chocolate Factory when it’s open, visiting the Slate Mine, the Grotto and the Site of the First Transatlantic Cable in 1866 that bridged Europe and America through Canada. A segment of the first and last cable is transported in the Minibus. In addition, arrangements for Sea Trips to Skellig Micheal can be done as I have 30 years of experience as a Lighthouse Keeper around the coast of Ireland.

Experience of a lifetime - We recently had the great experience of visiting Valentia Island.
While we were there we took the opportunity of touring parts of the Iveragh Peninsula.
We were very fortunate to take the trip with Kennedy Bus in the professional and capable hands of Ted Kennedy.
This man was a fountain of knowledge and experience which he share with us and all that were on the tour.
His knowledge covered local genealogy, geology and history and the amount of people that he/we encountered added to the experience.
He was most kind and no request or requirement phased as he was most obliging and helpful.
I'm sure he is in high demand.
We would have no hesitation in recommending him for any aspect of South Kerry and Iveragh in particular.
There should be more like him in the country.
