Slea Head Drive in Ireland

For those who have taken this tour - which side of the bus should we sit on to get the best views? Any other places where we should be one one side vs the other?

My husband and I drove this today in our rental car. If the bus you take goes clockwise, sit on the left. The few buses I saw did go clockwise. Weather beautiful and we loved our day on Slea Head, especially hiking about the “Star Wars” trail.

I agree with the above poster. Our Vagabond tour went clockwise and the left side featured most of the scenery--although the beehive huts were on the right.

A fabulous drive--you will love it!

I'm not sure about your specific tour, but on the one we took, it really didn't matter which side you sat on. The driver told us he was going to stop "about every 5 minutes". I thought it was an exaggeration but he really did stop that often. We would all get out and wander and take pictures etc. and the drive a little farther on. It was a wonderful experience.

I agree, no bad side on the bus. The windows are huge and you stop frequently.

There are times the right side mirror of that bus is within inches of the rocks and the rear left tire is on the shoulder. That was some amazing driving!
