Uncover the wild beauty and storied past of Ireland and Northern Ireland on this 11-day journey. Follow ancient stone paths through Glendalough’s mist-veiled valley. In Belfast, uncover the city’s modern identity through its vibrant street art and powerful murals. At the Giant’s Causeway, stand before nature’s geometry, perfectly ordered and otherworldly. Learn the secrets of traditional soda bread in Tracey’s farmhouse kitchen, warm with the scent of griddled flour and turf smoke. Travel by jaunting car beneath the shifting skies of the Ring of Kerry, then pause at the Cliffs of Moher, where wind and sea meet in endless motion. In Donegal, Lough Eske Castle offers quiet luxury amid deep woods and still water—a moment of calm, wrapped in history. From Galway’s painted shopfronts to the grandeur of Glenlo Abbey, this journey is a masterclass in contrast: wild and refined, timeworn and timeless.

Travel further when you're not travelling alone
Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.
Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.
- A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
- Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
- Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.
Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
