It's a great hike even on a rainy day. I did one from Tahilla to Blackwater Bridge. I was with my mam and I think we were the first to do it in 2024.Full review by thefootballmanfrom

What an amazing experience!!! We are in our mid-60's and are fairly active for our age. We did a fair amount of training to prepare ourselves for this hike - we did 7 days - Killarney to Sneem - and …Full review by Dave B

This is a review on the Kerry Way, which is a walking route, and not the "Ring of Kerry", which refers to a motor route around the Inveragh Peninsula. My wife and I did a 12 day itinerary, which i…Full review by seldom5150

Hello, my intention is to do it on foot. Thanks for your answer anyway :)
Hello! My daughter and I are considering doing to Kerry Way - or at least part of it this March. We will probably only have 4-6 hiking days. I saw that there is a bus on part of the route so we could cut possibly some of the less scenic areas. Any suggestions? Do you think we will be able to find accommodations or is it usually booked months in advance? I thought we could hike to Black Valley then bus to Glenbeigh and stay in Glenbeigh. Bus from Kenmare to Killarney since some of that is repetitious. Any suggestions on another area section or two to miss? We can do up to 30km/d. Is 11km route from Waterville to Caherdaniel better than the other option? THanks so much for any feedback!!!!

Thanks so much for taking the time to answer, John! I hope you have a wonderful time! Let me know how your trip was!!! We decided to do the Wicklow Way and used Wicklow Way Baggage Transfer. The even sometimes offer transportation from the airport to the trail. I watched a few You Tube videos of people hiking the Kerry Way who got quite lost and frustrated and the logistics just seemed easier with Wicklow. We are doing Moyne to Marlay Park in 4 days. We are then going to take the train to Killarney for two days of hiking and exploring the area. So back to the drawing board about what to do there. Thank you again for your kind information. Happy travels!!! Stacy
hey all, I'm planning on walking the trail between Killarney and Glenbeigh at the end of October. Do you recommend the trail? How did you divide the trail? did you only sleep in guest houses or did you also use a tent? Do you have any recommendations as to equipment or clothing for this time of year? thanks in advance!

It's a lovely half-hour drive, but walking will take you 2/3 days depending on your fitness and how much gear you are carrying, you also need to allow for time spent looking at the views on the way and they do change every few feet. You cannot just pitch a tent anywhere here, and there are only campsites at the start and at the finish, so you'll need to have B&Bs pre-booked to ensure a room for the night. You'll also need B&Bs with laundry service if you are doing it now, as you'll be both wet and cold. I've lived in Ireland and would walk around in a t-shirt in December on the East Coast, but on the Wild Atlantic Way I'd go with layers and be very prepared for the wet, windy and cold weather.
