I found it interesting... it's a small place and I expected it to be bigger but all very interesting and informative to see how they lived and worked in the past and how much they suffered 😢 The wolfhounds are so lovely 😍

Although there is not lots here, there is lots of information from how the lighthouse developed from around 1850 to its final change to automation. If the weather is clear there are beautiful views from the top of the light house to the walk around the lighthouse outside the wall. You can see cliffs to one side, the nesting birds on an outcrop on another and out to sea. An hour to an hour and half if you enjoy walking around and viewing the lighthouse is ample. Nice change because it is off the beaten track and was not full of tourists.

Amazing experience for our family! Kindness, great welcome, impeccable audio and lights, truly impeccable inclusiveness for people with disabilities! I suggest the front seats for autistic kids like my son with Down syndrome and autism. We will be back often!!! Top!

The museum is not big in area but very informative. I was most impressed, although didn’t take a photo, by the show room of the beautiful dresses lent by the Roses of Tralee, when I saw this phrase on the street at first I thought this was some flower festival:) The feminine power presented is great and motivating. The basement replica of a medieval town is also very interesting and imagination inspiring. I appreciate the history panels telling about the story of Mr. Roger Casement, one of the executed leaders of the Easter Rising of 1916, after whom the train station of Tralee is named. It is surely an indispensable part of Irish history. The story of the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean is very moving, which represents the true character of Irish people, brave, loving, and truly kind.

Amazing scenery, lots of trees and other artifacts that tell the story of the town. Long stretches of pathways to walk on or jog. I would definitely visit again

Amazing customer service with Aileen and her team! Aileen sorted me with a wetsuit last minute for a swim last year and went above and beyond when I had an issue with it. (Manufacturer issue not shop). Popped down to the shop to get a wetsuit for my daughter and she was superb in fitting and also in recommending other accessories I was looking for. Her knowledge is second to none. Highly recommend, fantastic genuine customer service. Thanks again Aileen!!

A fantastic national park! With a little look around for parking lots before you go, you'll have a smooth experience. The hikes were beautiful, and the trails were well taken care of. I'd highly recommend it! And if the weather doesn't look good? Well, it's still worth it—give it 15 minutes and the weather will change!

The best of the best. I have been lucky enough to play most of the great courses in the Republic of Ireland and for me Ballybunion is the best of them all. The course has amazing views, great elevation changes and some of the best green complexes anywhere. The staff there is kind and courteous, which you don't always get at a premier course and I have heard that they have upgraded the practice facility since I was last there. Ballybunion in pure class and I would recommend it to anyone wanting to play a bucket list course.

Torc Waterfall is lovely, especially in early June when it’s flowing strong—but what really stood out was the trail itself. Surrounded by dense, lush forest and shaded by towering trees, it’s a peaceful and easy walk. The quiet, green canopy makes the whole experience feel almost magical.

We thought the house was so cool!! I love old architecture. This was built in the late 1870’s and it was really a beautiful grounds, view and cool experience. Takes you back in time. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!! Check out the waterfall and Abbey as well!

An absolute highlight of the trip! It’s free and you’re able to explore the entire area! The yew tree is beautiful but there are also many other interesting areas around the abbey! We came at 9 AM and the crowds were minimal. I was surprised more people weren’t there. The parking is somewhat limited so I recommend coming early in the morning to get parking and avoid crowds.

Lovely paved cliff walk and then a quiet road to walk further. Free parking early in the morning - paid after 11am I think. I was there at 6am, had the place to myself. Beautiful place. Expect it can get very busy at times.

Always love to visit this place. Nice stop at the small church followed by an amazing walk in the national park just short drive away. Peaceful and magical!

The interior feels like a five-star hotel on an alternate Irish timeline, one untouched by global chains or corporate minimalism. It’s warm, storied, and authentic, like the best version of what Irish hospitality could have become if it had followed its own path to refinement. It’s not five star in the international sense. It’s five star in the Irish sense, if Ireland had written its own luxury tradition without outside influence. The setting is nothing short of jaw dropping, nestled beside the still waters of Gougane Barra Lake with forested mountains rising all around and a tiny stone chapel sitting quietly on the island. The food is consistently exceptional, with local ingredients turned into elegant, heartfelt dishes that rival the best kitchens. Guests speak of a serenity here that resets the soul. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a place to remember

Great golf course with excellent caddies. Service was awsome

Very simple ferry terminal. Straight and to the point to cross the river rather than drive around. € 22.50 for cars and all passengers. Purchase online and once you drive onto the ferry, they scan your ticket. The terminal has a bathroom and gift store. No staff anywhere and are only on the boat itself. Arrive on time, our ferry left a few minutes after departure time. Still a fun attraction, crossed river in about 20min.

This is somewhere I have wanted to visit for quite some time now and I am so glad we went today. I have passed through Foynes a number of times over the years. It’s a lovely small town, set on the banks of the Shannon Estuary but until today I never knew its historical significance in the foundation of transatlantic aviation in Ireland. Home of the world renowned Irish coffee, a base of innovation for the incredible contributions of Brendan O’Regan to Irish aviation and business. We were met by a wonderfully knowledgeable lady who takes huge pride and interest in her work. We had a lovely bit of over and back banter for a few minutes which set the tone for a nice, easy and very relaxed walk through the museum. I hope my pictures do a little justice to this gem of a place. I see a review here giving out about the portion of the museum that is dedicated to the late actress Maureen O’Hara. I find that very unfair as she was a patron of the museum, an avid supporter and her husband was the last pilot to fly out of there. Upon her passing her family made sure the museum received a huge amount of her belongings to display and to help celebrate her life and ties to the airport and museum. Because of that I also got to see a fabled Oscar statue on display. Anyway, I digress. The tour is full of fascinating aeronautical artefacts, navigational instruments, radio equipment, uniforms and a rich collection of memorabilia from a bygone era. The partial plane on display is so far removed from what we know now but so era correct that it’s fascinating. On the upper floors there are fine testaments to the maritime industry that thrived along the estuary. The Foynes Flying boat and Maritime museum is well worth the visit, has taught me things I never knew about the area and is a place I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.

Beautiful walk but be careful walking over some of those wet stones. They can be very slippery. I took a mild spill over one of them. But they are overall breathtaking and lead to the beautiful and mysterious ruin Poulnaborne

Just splendid! This park is another treasure in Ireland. Located close to Cliffs of Moher. Great for hiking, and seeing all the beauty of nature. Tip, dress in layers, good sturdy shoes. Terrain is very beautiful, but rocky. Be careful.

This place is absolutely lovely! There are three different paths that take you around the Sanctuary, each offering views of the beautiful creatures (and they are up for a little pet) and stunning scenery. There's a small gift shop on the premises, as well as a picnic area. I will definitely return to visit my little adoptee! 🤗

Very peaceful Friary and spoke with a local resident tending graves. She enlightened us with enthusiasm on the history of the Friary and aspects of the construction. It's worth a visit if you are ever in the area. Free to enter.

The castle and village/park is pretty awesome. The restoration did and amazing job of sticking to what it would have been. Including the furniture being hundreds of years old (not original to the castle but just as old and from that area and time period. Most def recommend and set aside maybe 2-3 hours if you are going self guided. You can then take your time. Plus there is a Pub to catch a drink!

Great fir a nature stroll. Great cafe. Good food

This was a very unique and informative tour. You start by going through a museum that explains the history of the area and how the castle came to be. It was extremely informative. After the museum portion you actually go under the castle walls to see more about the history. The castle is well preserved and has a lot of areas to explore. Very beautiful area and well worth the entry fee. There is a free parking area for those visiting the castle.

Very cool museum. They had plenty to see and the ancient Egyptian pieces were very interesting.

Love this place, come here at least twice a week for most weeks, the set up is fantastic, clean secure toilets and coffee shack, plenty of parking that’s secure, great mix of mountain biking trails and hikes. If you don’t have a bike you can hire them. I mainly go on the Blue trail is about 17k fast track, you have to earn it as the first 5-6k is up hill but it’s definitely worth all the effort.

Nice walk around the lake. There was some lecture upstairs so we didn't visit inside. But the surrounding area was lovely.
