Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - On the Plane
Depart USA.
Commercial Flight
Fly transatlantic overnight to Ireland.
Day 2 - Dublin
Arrive in Dublin, Ireland.
Hotel
Welcome to Dublin! Upon arrival, you are met and transferred to your hotel.
Sightseeing
At 2 p.m., your voyage of discovery begins on a city tour. Your local guide will bring to life Dublin’s grand architectural treasures and history stretching back more than 1,000 years. Visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral, tour Dublin’s beautiful Georgian squares, walk the cobbled courtyards of Trinity College to its famed library and its truly unique world treasure – the 8th century Book of Kells. The rest of the day is free.
Day 3 - Killarney
Dublin / Blarney / Killarney.
Sightseeing
After driving through the Curragh, the heart of Ireland’s equestrian country, view the unforgettable Rock of Cashel, an impressive pre-Christian settlement. The dramatic limestone rock crowned with secular and religious buildings dominates the flat countryside for miles around.
Sightseeing
Travel on to County Cork to visit Blarney Castle with its magical stone that gives the gift of eloquence for a kiss.
Sightseeing
Time to stop at Blarney Woollen Mills to shop for Waterford crystal and other handicrafts before continuing on to bustling Killarney. The town on the lakes is famous for its lively pubs and open, cheerful atmosphere, full of what the Irish call “craic" – Gaelic for fun.
Day 4 - Killarney
The Ring Of Kerry.
Sightseeing
Travel the road that winds around the beautiful Iveragh Peninsula, better known as “The Ring of Kerry". It is undoubtedly one of the most magical places in all Ireland. Here mountains, valleys, lakes and sea blend into a landscape that is breathtaking beyond words. Even the names of the towns seem to whisper their beauty: Cahirciveen, Glenbeigh, Killorglin and Sneem.
Relaxation
The balance of the day is at leisure.
Day 5 - Ennis
Killarney / Cliffs Of Moher / Ennis.
Bus
This morning, cross the Shannon estuary by ferry and enter County Clare to walk along the Cliffs of Moher: a magical vista awaits you.
Sightseeing
Then north across the Burren, a suddenly stark and barren landscape dotted with rare flora.
Food and Dining
Drop in for lunch at Rathbaun Farm and to meet a farming family as they carry out their daily chores.
Sightseeing
Watch as the farmer shears a sheep and maneuvers his flock with the help of his dog.
Hotel
Next, on to Ennis for a Farewell Irish Coffee at your hotel.
Food and Dining
Tonight, why not attend an optional Medieval banquet at Bunratty Castle.
