Additional Information

Our Wild Atlantic Way walk in the heart of the West Kerry Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking area) will bring you along the cliffs of Dunquin, overlooking the Blasket Island archipelago. The Dingle Peninsula is steeped in rich heritage and culture. Kevin, your guide, will impart some of this while walking through its landscape. Kevin will enrich the walk with stories of the ancient past, the recent past right up to today, and plenty of Irish folklore, myth, legend, history, and geology—a very enriching experience all around in some beautiful landscape. The rhythm and pace of walking lend themselves to good conversation, and when you throw the inspirational scenery of the Dingle Peninsula into that mix, it all adds up to a great place and space to spend time with friends and family or just go solo.

The distance covered will be approximately 3 miles (5km) on mostly flat terrain, which is very doable.

Celtic nature walk is a wonderful way to experience Ireland - Celtic nature guiding offers individual guided experiences and/or the opportunity to do the Dingle Way self guided walk over multiple days with their assistance in maps, accommodations and moving your luggage. We did a day walk with Kevin and it was a great experience His knowledge and ability to impart it was wonderful to experience. Definitely a highlight for our holiday in Ireland.

Dingle Magic Whether Rain or Shine -- but shine's a bit more glorious! - The 4-hour "Walk & Talk" as I like to call it, that my wife and I did with Kevin the Amazing Dingle Guide, on a wee bit drizzly but mostly sunny and gorgeous day, was spectacular and unforgettable. His wisdom and passion warmed us like an old woolen cloak while charging us with appreciation for his gifts as an Irish sherpa, historian, poet and interpreter. Great exercise, amazing air, awesome energy! Our only regret is that we didn't also get to meet Claire, who manages the operation behind the scenes.

Fabulous guided walk along the Wild Atlantic Way with Kevin - My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our half day walk along the Dingle peninsula with Kevin. In fact, it was without a doubt the highlight of our visit to the region. Kevin is incredibly knowledgeable and engaging and shared so much with us about the history, culture, flora/fauna, language and folklore of the area and Blasket Islands. He even set me up with a few phrases, poems and songs in Irish to take with me as I traveled to Donegal to learn the Irish language! Kevin and Claire are delightfully accommodating, and we look forward to coming back to Dingle and arranging more challenging hikes with Celtic Nature Walking Tours. Bravo and go raibh maith agat!

Magical Ireland Emersion! - Claire was WON-DER-FUL! We had a tight timeline & much we wanted to do & see ~ plus late in reaching out ~~ Claire made it HAPPEN! Our ‘Ireland emersion’ far exceeded our expectations thanks to her! The adventure was absolutely seamless! We hiked along the Dingle Peninsula ~ an emersion into Irish history, culture, & beauty ~ along the spectacular coastline and beaches, and thru green pastures, over hills, and across Mt Brandon saddle. The towns are very inviting & quaint; the local people extremely friendly! Our B&Bs were charming & welcoming; the breakfasts were DELICIOUS & our boxed lunches yummy & got us through the day! It was a very, very special trip for us and our grandson who just graduated from high school & leaving for a military academy! We will return & we know who to reach out to when we do! My husband accidentally left his cell phone in a taxi … Claire tracked it down & personally shipped to us in the states. That was above & beyond! Thank you Celtic Nature Walking Tours!
