Your fare excludes:

Day 1: Dublin, Ireland - Tour Begins
Fáilte and welcome to Dublin, Ireland’s cosmopolitan capital. Tonight, join your fellow travellers for a welcome reception in the crypt of Christ Church Cathedral.* Within the medieval walls of the city’s oldest structure, surrounded by nearly 1,000 years of Irish myths and legends, toast the start of an incredible adventure.

Day 2: Dublin
A local expert escorts you through Dublin’s magnificent sights by motor coach. Exalt in the culture and colour of Ireland’s world-famous O'Connell Street and marvel at the electric green expanse of the largest enclosed city park in all of Europe, Phoenix Park. You will drive by Trinity College, through the Georgian Dublin streets and squares. This afternoon you may join an optional tour to a traditional pub for lunch, followed by a visit to the Guinness Storehouse, or enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure to explore Dublin’s fair city. This evening, we’ll gather again for dinner and enjoy authentic Irish cuisine at a local restaurant.

Day 3: Dublin - Irish National Stud - Cashel - East Cork
Take to Ireland’s country roads. Tour the Irish National Stud, an area of outstanding natural beauty that’s home to regal thoroughbreds and opulent gardens. Continue south to the awe-inspiring Rock of Cashel. Be amazed by its imposing facade and visit the spot where St. Patrick preached.

Day 4: East Cork - Midleton - Kinsale - East Cork
This morning, visit the Old Midleton Distillery, home of the world-famous Jameson Irish Whiskey. Indulge in a tipple with a tasting of the distillery’s production. Next, head to the pretty coastal town of Kinsale for the afternoon. Join a local expert for a leisurely walking tour, and then enjoy time to peruse the charming shops, galleries and cafes.

Day 5: East Cork - Garnish Island - Dingle
Travel through forty shades of green before arriving in the charming village of Glengarriff. Board a ferry and sail to a place that must be seen to be believed, Garnish Island. Sheltered in the Glengarriff harbour of Bantry Bay, this hidden island is home to one of Ireland’s most beautiful gardens. Continue over the Cork and Kerry mountains onto the colourful town of Dingle, located on the Dingle Peninsula. Tonight, settle into a charming seaside lodge — your home for two nights.

Day 6: Dingle - Dingle Peninsula - Dingle
This morning explore the spectacular scenery of the Dingle Peninsula, with a drive along Slea Head, with its enchanting hills and weather-worn bluffs. The locals will remind you that beyond the water “the next parish over is Boston.” Then, it’s your choice! Take a walk along the coast from Dunquin Pier, a secluded bay surrounded by cliffs -OR- visit the Blasket Centre, which shares the story of the people of the Blasket Islands, highlighting their struggles with the elements and the tenacity of their community. The rest of the day is free for you to explore the colourful streets and harbour of Dingle. This evening dinner will be at a pub located in a nearby village.

Day 7: Dingle - Aran Islands (Inishmore)
Leave the rugged southern coast behind and embark on an adventure. Board a ferry bound for Inishmore, the largest of the three Aran Islands.** Upon arriving in Inishmore’s ethereal landscape, take a private tour through the labyrinth of stone walls blanketing the island. Visit the east of the island and see the Old Cromwellian Castle and Port Aodh. Learn about the island’s 850 inhabitants, their livelihoods and devotion to traditional culture and customs. As the last ferry leaves for mainland Ireland, breathe in the fresh Atlantic air and settle into your cosy island chalet. The humble accommodation in the heart of Inishmore allow the striking, rocky coast to be the star of your stay.

Day 8: Aran Islands (Inishmore) - Cliffs of Moher - Ennis
In the morning, visit Dun Aonghusa, a prehistoric hill fort facing the Atlantic Ocean. Continue to the Seven Churches, a pilgrimage site from the Middle Ages. Continue on your journey on this stunning island, taking in beautiful views; perhaps you’ll spot a colony of seals on the way to a family-run goat farm. Take the opportunity to sample the award-winning cheese, made on site. Later, enjoy a little free time in Kilronan village to explore and to see the world-famous Aran sweaters. After, take in unrivalled views whilst sailing beneath the iconic Cliffs of Moher. This evening, after ferrying back to the mainland, toast the end of an incredible adventure.

Tour Fitness Level Recommendation - Level 3: You’re an on-the-go traveller. You don’t want to miss a thing, so walking and standing for longer periods of time (1-2 hours) isn’t a big deal. You can navigate hills and uneven ground, climb into various modes of transport (tuk-tuk, cable car, zodiac, etc.), and could possibly anticipate changes in elevation. You can expect some longer days balanced with free time to recharge or set out on your own adventure.

Motor Coach - All surfaces will be sanitised often, including regular cleaning of high-touch areas with disinfecting wipes. Hand sanitiser will be available at all times and drivers will wear protective gear.
