2-Day Ring of Kerry Road Trip: Cliffs, Hikes & Coastal Views

We took on the Ring of Kerry in just two days—and packed it full of breathtaking stops, heart-pumping hikes, charming towns, and unforgettable views.

🌧️ Despite an incoming tropical storm, we powered through hikes like Cardiac Hill at Killarney National Park and visited iconic sites like Ladies View, Molls Gap, Kerry Cliffs, Valencia Island, and more.

🍴 Along the way, we stopped for delicious food at Mana Café, enjoyed Irish apple pie, and stayed at the historic Royal Valentia Hotel—complete with a tub view of the Atlantic.

🏞️ This is the ultimate Ring of Kerry itinerary for travelers who love nature, history, and real adventure.

Highlights include:

Cardiac Hill Hike (Huntsman’s Hill)

Ladies View & Gift Shop Café

Kerry Cliffs (yes, we think they rival the Cliffs of Moher!)

Waterville Beach & Charlie Chaplin statue

Valencia Island & the Royal Valentia Hotel

Mana Café’s famous chicken sandwich
