Plan a trip to County Kerry

The Skellig Ring is the 18 km western extension of the Ring of Kerry, running through Portmagee and Ballinskelligs to the boat harbors for the Skellig Islands. Landing on Skellig Michael is closed for the 2026 season, so the choice now is a cruise, the ring road itself, or waiting for 2027.
