Coach Hire Tralee
Tralee is the way in to the Dingle Peninsula and north Kerry, with Kerry Airport about 15 minutes away. Most group days here combine a short visit in or near the town with one longer drive.
Flying into Kerry
Kerry Airport at Farranfore is about 15 km south-east of Tralee, around 15 to 20 minutes by road, so it is the obvious choice for a group based in the town. Shannon and Cork airports are the alternatives when flights suit better. Both are further away, which makes the transfer a bigger part of the day, so tell us the airport before we ask operators to quote.
Around the town and the bay
Siamsa Tíre, the National Folk Theatre of Ireland, stands in the Town Park and stages Irish music and dance. Kerry County Museum is in the Ashe Memorial Hall on Denny Street. Both are central, so a group on foot may only need the coach to arrive and leave. Ask us to check a set-down point for each address.
Blennerville Windmill, restored at the edge of Tralee Bay, and the Tralee Bay Wetlands, a nature reserve with boat trips, are short runs from the centre. Banna Strand is about 12 km north-west, around 15 minutes.

Dingle, Killarney and Ballybunion
Dingle is about 50 km, roughly an hour, on the N86. That is the route we plan on. If your group wants a different road over the mountains, raise it when you book so the operator can say whether it suits the vehicle.
Killarney and Ballybunion are each about 32 km away, around 35 minutes. Killarney can fill a whole day on its own; Ballybunion is a shorter outing in north Kerry.
A Dingle day with stops along the peninsula runs long. Give us every stop and the latest time you want to be back, and the operator will plan the driver's breaks and legal hours around the full route, not just the drive out.
Austin Stack Park
Austin Stack Park hosts Kerry GAA football and hurling. Check current arrangements with the county board before travelling, and send the throw-in time with your booking.
