  • Day 1 Arrival in Dingle Town

    From your point of arrival, use the public transport information we provide to make the journey to the town of Dingle.

  • Day 2 Dingle Town - Dunquin

    13.5 Miles / 22 Km 5-7 Hrs 520 Metres

    This hike is one of the highlights of the Dingle Way – an unforgettable trek that will transport you from modern Ireland to the ‘old country’. It offers a beautiful beach walk, coastal views, early Christian ‘Beehive Huts’, an Iron Age cliff fort, the much-photographed pier at Dunquin and stunning cliff-top vistas over the mystical Blasket Islands.

  • Day 3 Dunquin - Cuas

    17 Miles / 27 Km 6-8 Hrs 290 Metres

    Delving ever deeper into the Gaeltacht, you continue along the Atlantic coastline and some of Ireland’s more picturesque and secluded beaches. At Smerwick Harbour you can take an optional detour to see the famous Gallarus Oratory, Ireland’s most iconic early Christian church, and then follow one of the finest cliff-top walks in the country. Stop for refreshments in the local pub on the coast, before the route guides you to the tiny townland of Cuas, with the imposing peak of Mount Brandon watching over your every step.

  • Day 4 Cuas - Cloghane

    6-13.5 Miles / 10-22 Km 4-8 Hrs 400-720 Metres

    This invigorating climb over the shoulder of Masatiompan, a northern offshoot of Mount Brandon, is the steepest and highest ascent on the Dingle Way – but the views are unparalleled and make every last bit of effort expended worthwhile.

    For those who find this hike a little daunting or for days with poor weather we also offer an easier ‘Southern Route’ option to Cloghane via an old mountain road with a less steep ascent and descent

  • Day 5 Cloghane - Scraggane Pier

    10 Miles / 16 Km 4-5 Hrs 30 Metres

    Leaving Cloghane, you emerge onto magnificent Fermoyle Stand, the longest beach along the Wild Atlantic Way, which stretches for more than 10km along a narrow peninsula that juts out into the sea towards the Seven Hogs – a group of islands also known as the Magharees. Transfer to your B&B after your hike.

  • Day 6 Scraggane Pier - Camp

    12.5 Miles / 20 Km 5-7 Hrs 100 Metres

    Transfer to Scraggane Pier in the morning. You will follow the eastern side of the peninsula through sand dunes and along long beaches past Castlegregory village and then along a varied coastline, with cliffs, beaches and small headlands, as far as Camp.

  • Day 7 Departure from Camp

    Take a bus from Camp to Tralee. There are regular bus and train services from Tralee. Full details provided upon booking.
