Enjoy an incredible journey through Ireland’s bustling cities and lush green countryside. First, see the famous sights of Dublin and take an excursion to the fascinating passage graves in the Boyne Valley. Then visit Strokestown House and learn about the Great Famine of the 1840’s. Experience beautiful Donegal on the Atlantic Coast, visit Kylemore Abbey, and at Rathbaun Farm hear all about sheep shearing and dog whistling. For another unique experience, take a short ferry ride to the Gaelic-speaking Aran Islands to hear from your Local Guide about island community life. The Cliffs of Moher, Limerick, Killarney, the scenic Ring of Kerry, Blarney and the Waterford Crystal Factory are all on your agenda before returning to Dublin.


NOTE: Due to the adventurous style of the Aran Islands excursion we recommend you bring suitable outdoor wear and comfortable shoes.
