**Best for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience at a comfortable pace** Based in Ventry and Dingle, I offer relaxed local walk, hike, sea swim, and bike outings for visitors who want to experience the Dingle Peninsula at a comfortable pace. These are not extreme adventure tours. They are about getting outdoors, enjoying the scenery, hearing local stories, and getting the inside track on one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland. As a lifelong weather enthusiast, daily sea swimmer, and local guide, I shape each outing around the people taking part, the weather, the tide, and the conditions on the day. Tours can be gentle, scenic, and easygoing, or a little more active if that suits you. The areas covered include Ventry, Dingle, nearby coastal routes, quiet backroads, beaches, safe swim spots, local viewpoints, and places visitors can easily miss. Most outings are 2 to 4 hours, making them ideal for solo travellers, older visitors, couples, and small groups who want a relaxed local experience without committing to a full day. A tour might be a gentle coastal walk, help finding a safe place to swim, a swim followed by a sauna, a relaxed local bike route, or time for coffee and a chat. No special experience is needed. Just bring comfortable clothes, curiosity, and a willingness to see Ventry and Dingle like a local. 2-hour outing: from €120 solo / €150 for 2 people 3-hour outing: from €180 solo / €225 for 2 people 4-hour half-day: from €240 solo / €300 for 2 people Extras such as sauna, bike hire, food, or transport are charged separately. *ventryweather.com/book For solo/couple travellers, I can usually arrange a convenient meeting point in Ventry or Dingle, and where practical I may be able to meet you at your accommodation. Any pick-up or transfer must be agreed in advance and is offered only as part of the guided outing, not as a standalone transport service.

I teach Zen Mindfullness Meditation photography classes with an Irish Wolfhound while singing Pogue songs. Checkout my Irish Wolfhounds YouTube account > Irish Wolfhound Ballybunion. Im twice qualified as a commercial photographer. Mo Chuisle ( meaning Pulse of my heart in old Gaelic) has won 5x dog shows and she does Hospital therapy visits and events such as the Hill of Uisneach. Mo Chuisle does sit and shake paw for treats. She weighs 60 kilo is 32.5" inches tall at the wethers and runs at 65kph / 40mph! Her boyfriend is the same white/creamy head of Guinness coloured, but he weighs 100kg and is 6" inches taller. I give photography classes either indoors or whilst walking the Cliffs of Doon/Dooneen or Ballybunion Strand. Get the most out of your phones camera & learn how to enjoy Zen Mindfullness walking photography. Mo Chuisle Irish Wolfhound adores making new friends. Throw apples for her and watch her zoom after them, toss them into the air, catch them as they fall and munch them. Ice cream cones last less then 3 seconds with her. Gulp. I have decades of experience as a Professional Photographer. Let me teach you how to read and understand light quality, mobile phone camera technology and take sharper better images. Ballybunion is Irelands premier seaside resort. Golden fine beaches at the mouth of the river Shannon.

Nick named > Platinum blonde beach bum baby girl or Big nose for short. Mobile phone 085 838 0709. Email Karlwhitekerry@gmail.com. Address 1 Ferndale Sandhill Road Ballybunion Co Kerry V31HX74. 200 meters from the beach in the heart of town. Irish wolfhounds are a direct living connection to our ancient Celtic heritage and the oldest dog breed in Ireland and the UK. The tallest dog breed in the world. I also do an interesting history of photography class and of Irish History. Stronger, faster and more agile than a Wild Wolf, the Irish Wolfhound, the dog of Kings and the king of all dogs!

Professional licensed national tour guide since 1992. I am a graduate of 'Genealogy' and 'Irish Heritage and Folklore' from UCC. I offer private bespoke day and multi-day tours specialising in the South West along the Wild Atlantic Way.

Balor Otherworld
I am a storyteller and private guide living in the west of Ireland all my life. After years working in the private sector I chose to create my own business to sustain and nurture Irish storytelling and offer immersive private tours of Ireland. The tours include visits to hidden gems and a personalised experience. Based on your interests and timings, I craft the most practical experience to ensure you get the most from your time with me. When I am not touring or performing storytelling, my time is spent researching and expanding my understanding of the stories from across Ireland. The stories I tell suit all ages as the topics include history, heirtage, folklore, mythology, urban myth, true crime, fantasy, literary tours, ghost tours etc. The focus is on you, and making sure you get not only excellent value for money but an unforgettable experience to share with your loved ones.
