Only for a clear day!
Jul 2021
I have visited this location twice. The first time the views from the top were magnificent and would deserve a top rating. However I am down rating it because of my second visit here. I was pressurised by a friend to bring them to Geokaun after hearing my opinion on the location. They were only available to visit with me on a day that the weather wasn't very good. Despite my reservations they were adamant that they wanted to go and hoped that the weather would improve before we got there...it didn't. As we had driven a long way to get there, they insisted on paying their €6 and up we went. It was a wasted drive and we could hardly see one another, never mind the panoramic views which I had vividly described to my guests after my original visit here. We came down immediately. So a word of warning, don't bother calling here if visibility is poor as they will take your money and won't advise you to give it a miss. Business is business I'm afraid!

Not to be missed
Aug 2020
For sheer beauty, this knocks the Cliff of Moher for 6 in my book.On a fine day, this is a stunner of a place with wonderful views.The Cliffs are superb, really wow.Then the upper car park has the big landscape view over the Ring of Kerry and Dingle.Classic view and one of THE best in the whole area.We were a little underwhelmed with quite a lot of the Ring of Kerry scenery but this (not technically on the Ring) makes up for it in spades.Well worth the 5 euro charge per car.The walking tracks looked lovely too and with the mini 'sky walk' over the cliffs, the whole thing has bee very well done.

Just drive to the top if you can!

We love climbing hills/mountains, but when there is a car park at the top we thought we should make the use of it and save our legs for Brae Head Walk.
The views are amazing I obviously preferred the top to the cliffs. The info at the top is really good to ensure you know what you are looking at and get a little history of the island too.

Lovely cliff viewing points on three levels of the cliff
Steep climb up to them but you can drive up in low gears
Views from the top were stunning

Cash only
Aug 2020 • Couples
Disappointed by lack of card machine at the ticket desk, it's 2020, we are in the middle of a global pandemic, card should be accepted as standard payment. Even if we weren't in the middle of Covid-19, who carries cash all the time these days anyway! The car ferry from Knightstown even has a card machine!

Spectacular views, worth visiting on a nice dry day. Nice short walks but can be quite windy in places.
