Day Trips From Killarney to the Blarney Castle + Stone
The 13th-century Blarney Castle is a medieval fortress located in Blarney, Ireland. The castle is best known for the Blarney Stone, a stone located at the top of the castle that is said to have magical powers.
According to legend, kissing the Blarney Stone upside down will give you the “gift of eloquence and persuasiveness”. Although there are many stories about the origins of the Blarney Stone, it’s believed to be a piece of limestone that was originally part of the walls of the castle.
Today, the Blarney Stone is a popular tourist attraction, and thousands of people visit the castle each year to kiss the stone. Blarney Castle is just over an hour’s drive away from Killarney, making it the perfect day trip from Killarney.
If you are driving in Ireland, you can make the trip on your own and book a ticket directly to tour the castle and kiss the stone.

Day Trips From Killarney to the Cliffs of Moher

The Cliffs of Moher are about 2.5 hours from Killarney and unfortunately, there are no general bus tours that do day trips from Killarney to the Cliffs of Moher. There are a few private chauffeurs for hire to the Cliffs, or there is this private tour that comes highly rated:

Day Trips From Killarney to the Gaps of Dunloe
The Gap of Dunloe is a scenic narrow mountain pass about a 15-minute drive from Killarney. It’s popular for gorgeous views, lakes, waterfalls, outdoor adventures, stone bridges, and unique ruins.
Many Ring of Kerry tours take you past at least the Torc Waterfall, which is in the Gap of Dunloe. However, the Gap of Dunloe is a site interesting enough that you could take a full day trip through it on its own.
Visitors can walk, bike, boat, take a horse and carriage, or (though it’s a bit treacherous) drive through the Gap. Visitors to the Gap of Dunloe that want to explore on their own typically walk or bike.

Cities to Visit for a Day From Killarney
Killarney is also in a great location to take day trips to other popular cities in the southwestern part of Ireland. Renting a car will be your best bet for the quickest transportation to make the most of your day trip, or there are often bus routes between the cities.
You can check Rome2Rio for all of the ways in which you can get from Killarney to the city of your choice.
Within a reasonable day trip distance there is:

*NOTE: Some people list Dublin as a day trip option from Killarney, however, I would advise against trying to see Dublin in one day from Killarney. It’s about 3.5 hours away, so you would spend most of your day driving. Plus, there is enough to see, and you probably want at least a weekend in Dublin anyway.
