About this trip
Get away from the hussle and bustle of busy daily routines on this 5 night trip. Immerse yourself in nature at our luxury private Álaind Lodges accommodation. This will be your base for five days, as you explore the hidden and wild beauty of the Ring of Kerry. You'll discover amazing places on our less-frequented walks - we'd award them all a 'Solitude Rating' of 10/10. Enjoy fabulous coastal views of Kenmare Bay and the Wild Atlantic. Our ‘moderate’ guided walks along the Kerry Way, beachfront and unspoiled hillside trails stay close to the coastline and even finish on a spectacular white sandy beach.
