The Ring of Kerry is one of the best known drives in Ireland and we are based just off it in Ballinskelligs. We run private Ring of Kerry bus tours for groups of all sizes, with your own driver and stops that suit you.
No big tour crowds and no fixed timetable. The bus is yours for the day.

Why go on a private tour
On a big coach tour you go where the coach goes. With a private Goggins tour you pick the start time, where you stop and how long you stay.
Our drivers are local and know the area well, and they are happy to tell you about the places you pass.
Add the Skellig Ring
The Skellig Ring is a detour off the Ring of Kerry between Cahersiveen and Waterville. It takes in Portmagee, Valentia Island, St Finian’s Bay and Ballinskelligs, which is where we are based. Read more about our Skellig Ring tours.

We pick up from hotels, houses and B&Bs anywhere in South Kerry, Killarney and Kenmare. We can also start your tour from an airport or a train station.
