Tour Overview

The Kerry Camino is an inspiring pilgrim route along the Dingle Peninsula in south western Ireland. St James Church in Dingle was originally a farewell point for pilgrims as they set sail to Finisterre in NW Spain to continue their walk to Santiago de Compostela. At almost every turn on the Kerry Camino, there are breathtaking views enhanced by the sounds of the Wild Atlantic lapping or crashing against this ancient shoreline. You will be enchanted by the awesome scenery and historic preservation that this region has to offer. During the four days, walk from the town made famous by the Rose of Tralee, along the southern shores of the Peninsula to Annascaul, the home of Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, and then to Dingle town itself. Here the rich tradition of music and culture will leave your feet tapping as you continue your journey to the western reaches of Slea Head, overlooking the magnificent Blasket Islands. Returning to Dingle you spend your last overnight before your return journey home. On the way, be sure to have your pilgrim passport available to be stamped as you walk along one of the most beautiful Caminos in the world.

Highlights

  • Experiencing the wild Atlantic coast on foot with breathtaking scenery

  • Exploring the history of the pilgrim trail and the many Irish traditions and customs

  • Enjoying traditional Irish hospitality in family run B&Bs

  • Discovering the music and culture of Dingle

Quiet country lanes, sweeping ocean vistas, blue sky days and rolling green hill after rolling green hill. The Kerry Camino Walk really is the gift that keeps on giving. An exceptional self-guided itinerary for both the 1st time pilgrim or those looking to do another Camino walk.

A thoroughly enjoyable trip. The B&Bs were all comfortable and clean. The B&B hosts were friendly and accommodating. The walking was enjoyable even if the weather was occasionally challenging. I would recommend this walk. It was a great way to explore the Dingle Peninsula.

The whole trip was great! From the time we met Maurice in Tralee until the final completion. The accommodation in all places were super the people were friendly and the locals in the little towns were great. Love to go back and do more in Ireland.
