Get away from the hussle and bustle of busy daily routines on this Kerry walking adventure. Immerse yourself in nature at our luxury private Álaind Lodges accommodation. This will be your base for your entire stay, as you explore the hidden and wild beauty of the Ring of Kerry. You'll discover amazing places on our less-frequented walks - we'd award them all a 'Solitude Rating' of 10/10.
Enjoy fabulous coastal views of Kenmare Bay and the Wild Atlantic. Our ‘moderate’ guided walks along the Kerry Way, beachfront and unspoiled hillside trails stay close to the coastline and even finish on a spectacular white sandy beach.
This tour, however, is about more than just the walking. You'll truly experience real Irish village life, meet the locals and share it all with new friends.
