Irish Adventure - 9 Days/8 Nights (14 destinations)

Your Irish adventure begins in the vibrant city of Dublin. Depart from your hotel at 2:00 PM for a panoramic tour of the city, where you'll marvel at the 18th-century Georgian houses with their brightly painted doors, tranquil parks, and historic O'Connell Street. The highlight of the day is a visit to the award-winning Teeling Whiskey Distillery, Dublin's first new distillery in 125 years.

Today, we journey through the delightful scenery of the Wicklow Mountains to Glendalough, one of Ireland's most important monastic sites. Explore the picturesque ruins of a round tower, churches, and Celtic crosses. We then head southeast to the Dunbrody Famine Ship, a faithful reproduction of an 1840's vessel that carried Irish emigrants fleeing famine to the New World. Our day concludes in the historic city of Waterford, where a local guide will take you on a stroll around its charming streets before dinner.

Start your day with a visit to the House of Waterford Crystal, where skilled artisans create crystal masterpieces. Next, we travel to Cobh, the last port of call for the Titanic in 1912 and the main point of embarkation for Irish emigrants between 1848 and 1960. Our journey continues to Blarney, where you can visit Blarney Castle and kiss the famous 'Stone of Eloquence' or explore the tranquil gardens. We then journey west through rugged countryside to our hotel in beautiful County Kerry.

We head to the Cliffs of Moher, stunning formations that soar 700 feet above the churning Atlantic and extend for 9 miles. On the way, take a ferry across the River Shannon and travel along the scenic coast of County Clare. Take in the spectacular views as you walk atop the cliffs. Travel on through the austere beauty of the Burren, a distinctive limestone landscape formed by glaciers, to Galway. Take a panoramic tour of this vibrant, artistic city before dinner at your hotel.

Immerse yourself in traditional farm life during a visit to an authentic working farm, where you'll watch trained dogs round up mountain sheep. Continue through the rugged mountainous landscape to Donegal town. Visit our preferred shopping partner, Triona Design, and then enjoy some free time. In Derry, a local guide will help you discover this ancient walled city, long known for its tumultuous history but now a thriving artistic hub.

Explore the northern coastline and the Giant's Causeway, enormous hexagonal columns formed by volcanic activity over 60 million years ago. Visit Titanic Belfast and learn about the ill-fated ship through state-of-the-art displays. See the docks where the famous liner was built just over a century ago. At the Glyde Inn, enjoy a farewell dinner with Irish specialties and entertainment featuring traditional Irish music and songs.

Explore Dublin independently on the Hop-On, Hop-Off bus. Use your voucher to visit one of Dublin's top attractions: Guinness Storehouse, EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, or GPO Museum. In the evening, dine independently at one of the many restaurants or pubs that Dublin has to offer.
