Marvel at the Cliffs of Moher as you walk along the seaside. Towering at almost 700 feet above sea level, these dramatic cliffs will be a memorable sight of the Wild Atlantic Way. Don an apron, roll up your sleeves, and learn how to make your own scones at a traditional Irish farm in Rathbaun. Enjoy your scones with coffee while you learn about sheep herding on this Irish farm. Use your remaining free time to enjoy and explore Galway.
Nestled in the heart of Connemara, today you will visit Kylemore Abbey. Home to a Benedictine order of Nuns for the past 100 years, you will explore the magnificent 1,000-acre estate. The Abbey was founded for Benedictine nuns who fled Belgium in World War I. Discover the Victorian Walled Garden with its restored garden buildings, and formal flower, vegetable, and herb gardens.
Visit one of the most beautiful medieval castles in Ireland, the Parke’s Castle. The castle fell into disrepair in the 17th century but was fully restored in the late 20th century using traditional Irish oak and craftsmanship. After your castle visit, enjoy a drink or two at a traditional pub as your day concludes with a scenic drive along Lough Gill.
Stand on the historic city walls in Derry. Take a guided walking tour of this modern city steeped in history and famous murals. Derry is known as the only remaining completely walled medieval city in Ireland.
Follow the legendary footsteps of giants at Northern Ireland's iconic Giant’s Causeway. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is famous for its hexagonal basalt stones that were formed 60 million years ago. This striking landscape was caused by volcanic activity. The tops of the columns form stepping stones that lead from the cliff foot and disappear under the sea.
Enjoy the remainder of the day in Belfast.
Experience the “Living History” with a local guide on a Belfast city tour. See City Hall, the Albert Memorial Clock Tower, Queen’s University, and the Parliament Buildings at Stormont.
Visit the Titanic Belfast Experience in the city where it all began. You’ll visit the site of the former Harland & Wolff shipyard in the city’s Titanic Quarter where the RMS Titanic was built. You’ll hear how and why the ship was built and what happened in its final hours during her maiden voyage in 1912.
Explore Northern Ireland’s royal residence, the Hillsborough Castle. Discover the historic coastal town of Carlingford. Drive along the Cooley Peninsula, where the Cooley Mountains meet the sea, and visit a local village.

Travel to the House of Waterford Crystal for a guided tour and learn about the crystal, renowned for its quality and beauty.
Get a real taste of everyday life on a Waterford Pub excursion. As you mingle with the locals in the oldest city in Ireland, you’ll listen to live music and enjoy drinks at a local pub.
Explore more of Waterford on a city walk tour and then travel to Blarney Castle. The castle was built nearly 600 years ago and has been attracting visitors since! At the heart of Blarney Castle lies its most mysterious and famous attraction, the Blarney Stone (or the Kissing Stone). Kissing the Blarney Stone is said to impart the gift of eloquence or the “gift of the gab.”
Board a private boat excursion to Garinish Island, nestled in the sheltered coastal harbor at Glengarrif in Bantry Bay. Visit the famous Bryce House and explore the walled garden. Walk up to the viewing point and take in the panoramic vista of the island. The island's beauty is said to have inspired George Bernard Shaw to write his famous play, “St. Joan.”
Capture the spirit of Kerry on a dreamlike panoramic drive along the Ring of Kerry. The Ring of Kerry is a scenic drive around the Iveragh Peninsula in southwest Ireland’s County Kerry. Its 111-mile-long, circular route showcases the rolling green hills, sparkling lakes, grazing cows in patchwork fields, and jaw-dropping cliffs.
Arrive in Killarney and enjoy the Jaunting Car Ride (a two-wheeled carriage with a single horse) excursion. Ride through Killarney National Park to the legendary Ross Castle on the shores of Lough Leane.
