About this trip

Get away from the hussle and bustle of busy daily routines on this Kerry hiking adventure. Immerse yourself in nature at our luxury private Álaind Lodge or neighbouring accommodation. This will be your base for your entire stay, as you explore the hidden and wild beauty of the Ring of Kerry's rugged, remote mountains. You'll discover amazing places on our less-frequented walks - we'd award them all a 'Solitude Rating' of 10/10.

The Dunkerron Mountains in Sneem are a geological wonderland and home to a number of Ireland’s highest peaks. Exploring on these ‘challenging/difficult’ hikes is a real adventure. 

This tour, however, is about more than just the hiking. You'll truly experience real Irish village life, meet the locals and share it all with new friends.
