About this tour
This session takes in two of the park's best known natural sights, a waterfall dropping from a high mountain lake and a viewpoint said to be named after a royal visit. You see the water in close detail at Torc and the wide sweep of the lakes from height at Ladies View. It moves between the two at a relaxed pace with proper time at each.
After a short sound check at the waterfall, I walk the route stop by stop, explaining the geology and the history behind each name. I take questions live and send a short note afterwards on nearby walking trails for anyone who wants to explore further on their own.
It suits anyone who wants a classic look at Killarney's landscape, and anyone planning their own drive or walk through the park afterwards.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

The camera takes in the 20-metre waterfall from the base of the path, and I explain how the water drops from the Devil's Punch Bowl lake high above.
