View of Little Skellig from the boat covered in Gannets. You cannot land on Little Skellig but can land on Skellig Michael and spend the day visiting the beehive huts that Monks lived in. An inspiring trip for anyone lucky enough to get the weather right

| Kenmare has long been established as a center for hill walking and mountain walking.
The annual Walking Festival has turned Kenmare into a walkers paradise with various walks organized over a two week period. These range from serious mountain climbs of Carrauntuohill to more leisurely walks for the family through the Black Valley and Killarney National Park |

Touring the Ring of Kerry is no doubt one of the highlights of any trip to Kerry. Trips to some of the many small islands around the coast leave daily from small piers and jetties. As you can see from the photograph be prepared for some unusual passengers on your way to the boat |
Kenmare and the surrounding waters of Kenmare Bay offer plenty of scope for the water babies amongst you. Scuba diving, Wind-surfing, Water- Skiing, and Sailing are all available nearby
Kenmare is ideally situated for touring the beautiful countryside of County Kerry. The Ring of Kerry and Ring of Beara are both ideally situated on either side of Kenmare Bay. Just a short car drive away, charter boats will take you on fishing trips or touring around the Skellig Rocks once home to the many Monks who lived there in the last century |
