The bus system in Ireland is incredible. It is called Bus Eireann and you can get all the info you need here:

You will find a tourist office in Dingle town that will be able to set you up with all the BB info you require. If you are the kind of person that likes to book stuff in advance, you can do that too, but you will end up with the more “americanized” places at inflated prices. Youth hostels are a good bet as well.

I believe that you can rent a car for the day in Dingle town, but you should check that in advance. I am certain that you can rent a car in Tubbercurry.

When visiting Dingle, DO NOT miss the Blasket Island center.

Wow, thank you! Ha, I’m not a plan ahead person at all, and the last thing I’m lookin’ for is americanized. One more thing, do ya think it’s NECESSARY that I rent a car, or can I make due without just bikin’ around?

When I was there, I was on a bicycle. I took the bus to Tubercurry and cycled the entire Peninsula. As I recall, it was 2 days to Dingletown and a long day back. I was loaded for camping and although the hills are steep if you are crossing the spine of the peninsula, trips along the seashore are very easy. I would say that if you took the bus to Dingletown and stayed in the hostel the first night, you cold plan your BB stays for the rest of the trip the next day. You can easily get to the BB’s by rented bike or bus. The buses gladly put your bike whole and unboxed in the stowage below (unlike in the USA).
