Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Review of: Torc Mountain Walk
    Beautiful climb amazing views
    One would need boots for safety and warm clothes to be prepared for the Irish weather. We had hailstones and sunshine as we climbed. Beautiful views well maintained by volunteers.

    Review of: The Kerry Way
    Ring of Kerry on motorcycle
    We did the Ring of Kerry while on a motorcycle trip and it was one of the favourite spots in the south of Ireland. Spectacular views and plenty of pullouts along the way. Nice to go when it is quieter on the roads.

    Review of: Strickeen Hill
    Short, easy hike with good views
    This walk was a great way to get a sense of the mountains without doing a long or difficult hike. It took 2-2.5 hours return with a slow 7 year old. Well worn trail. The track begins about 1km into the Gap of Dunloe from Kate Kearney's cottage (lots of parking there). Drive or walk south from Kate Kearney's until you see a small parking area on the right (west) side of the road (room for 2-3 cars only). There's a mountain rescue warning sign on a large rock. Pass through the gate and follow a wide rocky path zig zagging up the hill. It eventually winds its way to a cairn (good views here) or further up to three cairns on the top of the hill proper (even better views but you have to pass through some boggy bits and eroded track). It's really exposed up there. Beware of strong winds and mist or cloud that can descend quickly and make it tricky to navigate back.

    Review of: Mountain Adventure Walks
    An unreal experience that should b experienced by all
    Everything, very organised, very experienced climbers with about 10 in the group it was just the right amount of people to have a bit of fun. Our guides were very safe and even though I struggled they took breaks when needed and got me to the top.
