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 stunning place! From the highest point of Valentia Island, you can see dozens of kilometers around. The Atlantic Ocean, mountains, azure water, bays and villages. The lighthouse below seems like a tiny structure. Also visible from the island is the famous Skellig Michael, where the filming of "Star Wars" took place. Entry by car is 4 euros. Half of the way along Valentia Island is a two-way road, and the other half is one-way, you need to watch out and pass oncoming cars. Be careful. But this trip is definitely worth it.

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.

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.

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

Amazing place to visit, off the beaten path of Kerry Ring. One of the most beautiful views to Skellig Islands, Valentia Island , kliffs, the sea. A must go.

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.

Great panoramic views from the top of Geokaun. There is a second view point of the cliffs which Is stunning. You can drive to the top making it accessible to all which is great. Reasonably priced. Spoke with the owners who are very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. Great day out.
