How the rail version works

Rail-and-coach day tours take an InterCity train from Dublin to Killarney, where a coach drives the scenic 179 km loop and then returns to the station for the evening train. We list rail tours of this kind alongside a full-day tour, so check which one you are booking before you plan around the timetable.

An early start and a late return

Rail tours start very early and return late in the evening, on a fixed schedule; the timetable, not your own pace, sets how long the day gives you around Killarney. Check the listing for the departure details before you book, and work out how you will reach Dublin that early.
