1
Slea Head Drive
Where the Dingle Peninsula meets the Atlantic Ocean, the Slea Head Drive winds and turns along the rocky shoreline. This 30 km (18m) stretch of the well-known Wild Atlantic Way has been hailed by National Geographic as one of the world's most picturesque locations. Sit back and let our skilled drivers take you along this breathtaking journey as you discover well-known sites like Ventry Beach, ancient ringforts, and beehive huts along with breath-taking vistas of the Blaskets and Skellig Islands.
Even Hollywood could not withstand Slea Head's allure. Some of Hollywood's finest epic movies, such as Ryan's Daughter, Far and Away, and Star Wars, have used this region as their setting.
Use Mossie's Tours to discover the ethereal beauty.

Fahan BeeHive Huts
One of the most curious features of the Dingle Peninsula are the Fahan Beehive Huts. These drystone corbelled Iron age huts derive their name from the unique shape of the building. The Fahan group are comprised of 19 subterrain and 18 standing clochans (beehive huts). Our guides will lead you through the inscribed stones, sculptured crosses, and earth ring forts. If you listen carefully, you might be able to hear our ancestors’ songs carried in the wind.

Brandon Creek
Saint Branden, like the rest of the world, could only speculate about what lay further to the west when he set sail from this small wharf in the sixth century. Will he and his little band of supporters make it to the edge of the planet or will they be overthrown by ferocious sea monsters who govern the vast beyond? He had no idea, but his faith kept him going. The "Voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator", compiled in the 9th Century tells the history of a party of men who may have been the first people to visit Iceland, Greenland, and possibly Nova Scotia before returning via the Hibbertias.

Riasc
An Riasc is an abandoned 6th-century Christian monastic community. Early monks would have travelled to the edge of the world to preach "the word." The Riasc community represented the edge of the world as they knew it.
