Broad peninsula route
Expect a flexible private drive across the peninsula with a mix of scenery and heritage sites rather than one fixed theme.
Slea Head-focused route
The emphasis is on Slea Head viewpoints and nearby landmarks, with the itinerary arranged around a guided scenic drive.
Flexible Slea Head half-day
The route usually follows the peninsula’s scenic west-side driving, but stop order and selection can change with weather and guest preferences.
