Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Arrive Dublin – Sightseeing
Accommodation Name: Travelodge Plus City Centre
Day 2 : Dublin – Killarney
Accommodation Name: Killarney Hotel
Today, we travel through County Cork and pursue the 'gift of the gab' at Blarney Castle, where you'll have a chance to kiss the famous stone. Arrive in Killarney where we will be staying for the next two nights.
Day 3 : Killarney - Ring Of Kerry Scenic Drive
Accommodation Name: Killarney Hotel
Ireland's soul-stirring Ring of Kerry takes centre stage today as we embark on a scenic drive past its mountains, lakes and lush green countryside – unquestionably one of the most scenic routes in Ireland. We'll see Daniel O'Connell's Cahirciveen, the fishing village of Waterville, Moll's Gap and the Black Valley, whose remote location led to the area becoming the last in Ireland to receive electricity. Later head to a Local Restaurant for dinner.
Day 4 : Admire The Cliffs Of Moher, Then Off To Limerick
Accommodation Name: Castletroy Park
Today we journey to the magnificent Cliffs of Moher. These sheer cliffs plunge dramatically into the Atlantic Ocean, providing endless ocean views and wonderful photographic opportunities during your experience at this UNESCO-listed highlight along the Wild Atlantic Way. You’ll be enchanted by its irresistible landscapes, and may delight in occasional wildlife sightings. Take an opportunity to explore the interactive visitor centre, which brings the whole experience to life from the perspective of the resident wildlife that find sanctuary here. Later, we arrive in Limerick for an orientation.
Day 5 : On To Donegal
Accommodation Name: The Abbey Hotel
Our journey takes us to Westport for an orientation. Heading north, we arrive in Donegal, a town home to one of Ireland's three fjords; Lough Swilly. This will be our home for the night.
Day 6 : Onwards To Belfast
Accommodation Name: Ramada by Wyndham
Head to Belfast where we will visit the Giant’s Causeway for a memorable experience. Tread in the footsteps of Finn MacCool – his geometric Giant's Causeway is more the stuff of legends than the result of ancient volcanic activity which left its mark on the northern Irish coast. Admire the 40,000 interlocking basalt columns that fade into the sea. This evening we will head to a local restaurant for dinner.
Day 7 : Belfast Orientation
Accommodation Name: Ramada by Wyndham
Join your Travel Director for an orientation of Belfast, view the historic murals that depict the city's historic struggles, and see the City Hall. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.
Day 8 : Belfast - Dublin
Accommodation Name: Travelodge Plus City Centre
Today it’s time to return to Dublin where you’ll put your silver tongue to good use during an evening optional dinner and Irish show that will have your toes tapping and taste buds craving another round of Irish coffee. It will be time well spent with new friends after a memorable holiday.
Day 9 : Depart Dublin
And just like that your enchanting exploration of the 'Emerald Isle' has come to an end. You’ve seen ancient churches, castles and towering cliffs, had your fair share of the craic and seen beautiful landscapes that many only encounter in pictures. All that’s left is to say a fond slán go fóill as you prepare for your return journey home.
