This specially crafted eight-day itinerary along the Dingle Way offers shorter daily hikes, allowing you ample time to explore each overnight stop and soak up the local culture at a gentler pace.
Begin in Tralee, where you can sample Irish hospitality and perhaps visit the Kerry County Museum. From there, a moderate trek takes you across rolling hills and coastal paths to the peaceful village of Camp. Continue on to Annascaul, home to Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, passing scenic farmland and enjoying the fresh Atlantic air. Your next stop is Dingle, a lively harbour town renowned for its music scene, fresh seafood, and artisan shops.
A shorter loop out to Dunquin—with its unforgettable Blasket Island views—fits comfortably into a day trip, after which you’ll return to Dingle for another relaxing evening in town. The route then shifts northward as you head from Droichead Ban to the tranquil village of Cloghane, nestled beneath the impressive Mount Brandon. Your journey concludes in the sandy Maharees, where you’ll savour sweeping ocean vistas and the laid-back charm of one of County Kerry’s most picturesque coastal stretches.
By balancing gentle hikes with free afternoons, this itinerary allows you to experience the stunning landscapes of the Dingle Peninsula while ensuring you have the freedom to immerse yourself in the warmth and culture of each stop along the way.
