Discover the untouched wilderness and hidden wonders of the Iveragh Peninsula. On this guided experience, we don’t follow a rigid path; we follow the best conditions of the day. Led by a certified Mountain Leader, your journey is curated to showcase the very best of Sneem’s rugged backcountry. Whether we are ascending the lower slopes of the Dunkerron Mountains for panoramic views of Kenmare Bay or trekking through ancient glacial valleys, you are guaranteed an authentic Irish mountain experience. This 4-5 hour walk is designed for those who want to see the "Real Ireland." We’ll traverse open moorland, navigate rocky terrain, and keep a sharp eye out for local residents like the White-Tailed Sea Eagle or wild mountain goats. Along the way, your guide will share the deep history and geology that shaped this spectacular landscape. It’s a day of fresh Atlantic air, mountain silence, and world-class scenery—tailored perfectly to the moment.
