Exploring the many activities in Dingle is the perfect way to experience the charm and wonder of the Dingle Peninsula. From scenic drives to local culture and outdoor adventures, Dingle offers something special for every kind of traveller.

Take a Scenic Drive Along Slea Head

Booking a spot on our Dingle Peninsula Tours means you can relax and take it all in while your guide shares the stories behind the landscape. You’ll also get plenty of time to explore quiet beaches and take unforgettable photos along the way.

Walk Through Dingle Town’s Colourful Streets

Dingle town is full of energy, colour, and culture. Walk along its brightly painted streets, browse handmade crafts, and chat with friendly locals. Traditional pubs and cafés line the harbour, offering delicious seafood and warm welcomes.

If you want a more tailored experience, our Private Tours from Dingle allow you to choose where to go and what pace to take. Whether it’s hidden historical gems or foodie favourites, we’ve got you covered.

Visit Iconic Heritage Sites

For history lovers, the Dingle area offers early Christian sites and Celtic landmarks. Stop by Gallarus Oratory, an architectural wonder built over a thousand years ago, or explore the atmospheric ruins of Kilmalkedar Church.

Our Ring of Kerry Tour starts in Dingle and links some of the region’s most meaningful historical sites with unforgettable natural scenery. It’s a fantastic way to combine culture and countryside in one day.

Enjoy Local Food, Music, and Nightlife

One of the most rewarding activities in Dingle is experiencing its music and food. Try Dingle Bay crab, Murphy’s Ice Cream, or a dram of local whiskey at the Dingle Distillery. At night, enjoy live traditional music in pubs like O’Sullivan’s or John Benny Moriarty’s.
