Dingle Peninsula

It has been said that it takes a full day to really take in this wonder of nature, no matter which of the hotels in Killarney visitors are staying at. One of the major attractions of this body of water is Fungi the Dingle Dolphin, who has lived in these waters for over two decades. Ocean World is also nearby, offering visitors the chance to see a wide variety of fish and turtles, as well as an underwater tunnel offering amazing views of sharks and other more exotic sea-dwelling creatures.

Skellig Island

Located eight miles off the coast of Ireland to the west, this Atlantic Ocean island offers enough wildlife to keep visitors engaged for days on end. Besides the wonderful natural scenery, this island is also home to colonies of seabirds such as puffins. When the season is right, basking sharks and dolphins occupy the waters around the island. These natural wonders are elegantly complemented by human achievement, as an excellent example of early Christian Monastic architecture sits on one of the cliff-tops 200 metres above the water.

Killarney Golfing Opportunities

With a whole slew of golf courses located within two hours of each other, Killarney is one area of Ireland that golfers definitely want to make certain they visit at least once. There are courses ranging from beginner to professional level, many with price ranges that are affordable for most visitors. Many of these courses have lake and ocean views, which help to make the golfing experience more enjoyable.
