Itinerary
Day 1: Arrive Dublin – Sightseeing
Ireland’s 'fair' capital kick-starts your exhilarating encounter with the 'Emerald Isle'. After check-in, don’t resist the youthful energy of Dublin and take to its streets in search of its characteristic craic. You’ll join your Local Specialist later for a sightseeing tour which includes views of St. Patrick's Cathedral and Trinity College. Tap into Dublin’s effervescent spirit and head to Temple Bar or Grafton Street on your own this evening. There’s a colourful pub on every corner, with happy locals and tourists spilling out on to the pavements. You could be one of them. Sláinte!
Accommodation: Travelodge Plus City Centre
Day 2: Dublin – Killarney
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.
Accommodation: Killarney Hotel
Included Meals: Breakfast
Day 3: Killarney - Ring Of Kerry Scenic Drive
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.
Accommodation: Killarney Hotel
Included Meals: Breakfast, Dinner
Day 4: Admire The Cliffs Of Moher, Then Off To Limerick
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.

Accommodation: The Abbey Hotel
Included Meals: Breakfast
Day 6: Onwards To Belfast
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.
Accommodation: Ramada by Wyndham
