This itinerary will cover highlights along the Ring of Kerry, with a focus on seeing everything along the Skellig Ring and Valentia Island.
Drive clockwise from Killarney on Day 1, sleep pier-side in Portmagee, board the first Skellig Michael boat at dawn on Day 2, and finish the northern Ring in the afternoon.
This itinerary gives you two full days of sightseeing while beating the counterclockwise coach convoy, maximising the Skellig Ring and Valentia Island (the two stops most people rush), and keeping you within a few meters of the Skellig pier the night before sailing, critical because weather decisions come in the morning of the tour.
