What else ...
Helpers can avail of many free traditional Irish music gigs in many of our wonderful pubs in the town, there is plenty to do and see, lots of beaches for surfing, lots of hills and mountains to hike and climb. There is nearly always some sort of festival going on in Dingle. We can possibly provide a bicycle if needed so that they can cycle in and out of town on their time off. We will also take them on a drive around the peninsula to show them the sights of the area. We will make them feel comfortable and at home. Having your Own car would be ideal for your own benefit but not to worry if you don't have a car.
