Hi, we're Ann Marie and Richard...
… and we’re so lucky to call Killorglin (on the Ring of Kerry), the heart of Mid Kerry and the Reeks District, home! Nestled on the banks of the River Laune, Killorglin is a vibrant town with stunning scenery including the Macgillycuddy Reeks, friendly locals, delicious food, and of course, the famous Puck Fair. We absolutely love it here, and with over 50 years of combined experience in the outdoors and tourism, we’re passionate about sharing our little slice of heaven with you.
Richard’s background as an outdoor instructor, including 30 years with Kerry College (formerly Cappanalea NOETC), makes him uniquely qualified to lead you on unforgettable walks. He’s a Mountain Leader (ML), Rock Climbing Leader (RCL), and holds a REC3 certification in Remote Emergency Care, so you can explore the Reeks with confidence, knowing you’re in safe and experienced hands. We’re both members of Mountaineering Ireland and Mountain Training Ireland (MTI) and deeply committed to preserving the natural beauty of our region through Leave No Trace principles.
We believe in responsible tourism and protecting the environment for future generations. We’re also incredibly grateful to the local landowners who graciously allow us to walk on their land, and we work closely with them to ensure we respect their property and the environment. We’re fortunate to have the MacGillycuddy Reeks Access Forum in place for County Kerry, which plays a vital role in helping to protect both the land and the livelihoods of local farmers while ensuring access for outdoor enthusiasts.
Our walks are designed to be relaxed, enjoyable, and tailored to your group. Whether you’re a family looking for a gentle stroll along the river, a group of friends wanting to conquer a mountain summit, or somewhere in between, we’ll create an experience you’ll cherish. We’ll share stories about the local history, point out the unique flora and fauna, and of course, capture some amazing photos along the way.
But the fun doesn’t stop with walking! Mid Kerry and the Reeks District truly has something for everyone. We’re happy to connect you with other trusted local providers for all sorts of activities. Fancy a challenging climb? We know the best routes. Want to try your hand at golfing? We can point you to some fantastic courses. How about some fishing in the Laune, a cycle through the countryside or if you feeling more adventurous some mountain biking, or even a relaxing kayaking trip on Caragh Lake?
