Geokaun Mountain and Cliffs

What a lovely outing! The photos truly don’t do this service. Really glad we did research ahead of time and stopped to do all the trail walks here. We got perfect weather and saw incredible, expansive views of the countryside and water.

A wonderful place to watch the sunset over the sea. You stand on the cliffs while the sun sinks into the sea. There are several viewing points. From here, you can see Valentia Island and the Skelligs. The fee is €8.00, but it's worth it as the road is very steep. When it gets dark, it's magical because you're in a Dark Sky Area and you can see the Milky Way and lots of stars. I was there on the "Perseid night" and saw lots of shooting stars.

This is a paid attraction which is €8 per car to enter. You can drive to the highest peak on Valentia Island and is well worth seeing the view from the top is amazing and there is a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point at the peak

Wow, wow wow!!!!! These are the only words. This "mountain" is on Valentia Island. You have to pay 8 euro to get into it but worth every cent. It helps to pay for the upkeep of this beautiful place. From here you can see 360 degrees from Kerry to Dingle and out to the Skellig islands. Where some of Star Wars was filmed. There are some short walks you can do amd would be easy for novice walkers. There is a lot to be learnt on this mountain. It is the place where the trans-Atlantic cable connecting Ireland to America came ashore and the whole story is told on plaques here. Also, there is lots more to learn.

Fantastic place to get superb scenic views, and most definitely worth a visit. We drove from Killarney, and it was easy enough to find Geokaun Mountain. We paid €6 for the car at the first car park, and met a lovely fur baby who’d been abandoned as a pup, and was now living her best life as one of the welcoming party! If we weren’t limited for time we would have walked up to all three viewing areas, but instead we drove to save time. The views were stunning, and we really enjoyed reading all the relevant information at each platform - history of the area, and resident wildlife. If you’re time visiting The Ring of Kerry is limited, I highly recommend you make this place one of your stops.

Such a magnificent place! The views are breathtaking, even on a very cloudy day like the one I went. There's nothing else! I can't wait to go back in the spring or the summer, I'm sure there will be many more things to see and do.

Most amazing view! 8€ per car very well spent. These are the best views we got on the ring of Kerry, the detour on Valentia island is very much worth your time.

Wow... We arrived and it was all fog and misted up... but then, this happened - the fog blew off and the sun broke through the clouds... what a site to behold. And the 5th 🌟- we got to witness some Irish hunting - a fellow with his hound dogs coming up the mountain from the quary below and the rabbits/hares, scurrying past us as the heard the dogs howling approach. *no rabbits were harmed, they were way to clever. 😁.
