Killarney to Cahersiveen, Waterville & Caherdaniel by Private Hire Taxi

Heading out towards Cahersiveen, Waterville, or Caherdaniel? This stretch of the Ring of Kerry is one of the most popular in the county, particularly with walkers.

This part of the Iveragh Peninsula is a favourite for anyone walking sections of the Kerry Way, exploring the beaches around Waterville, or based in one of the small villages along this stretch of coast. Whether you are being dropped at a trailhead in the morning, collected after a day’s walk, or simply need to get between Killarney and one of these towns, a pre-booked private hire taxi takes the guesswork out of it.

Your driver is arranged in advance and you are collected from and dropped at the point you need, whether that is a hotel, a trailhead, or a spot along the road.

That is the kind of service Sage Taxis provides.

A Popular Area for Walkers

This stretch of the Ring of Kerry is one of the most walked parts of the county. Sections of the Kerry Way pass through or near Cahersiveen, Waterville, and Caherdaniel, and the area is also popular for shorter coastal walks and beach visits around Waterville and Derrynane. Many walkers arrange a private hire taxi to get dropped at the start of a section in the morning and collected at the end of it later in the day, or to move between villages without having to double back to collect a car.
