Overview
Embark on an epic adventure to the picturesque country of Ireland and discover the magic that the Emerald Isle has to offer. We will take you on a journey through western Ireland, the Wild Atlantic Way, stopping at all the must-see destinations and hidden gems along the way. Immerse yourself in the authentic Irish culture with visits to local pubs, traditional music events, and local markets. We are basing ourselves out of three main locations: Killarney in the southwest, Galway in the northwest and the capital city of Dublin. Each offers an unique perspective on the Irish experience.
The Southwest: Killarney has long been the gateway to scenic County Kerry. This quaint town is surrounded by serene lakes and a spectacular national park. Killarney provides easy access to some of Ireland's most famous destinations including the Ring of Kerry and the Dingle Peninsula.
The Northwest: Galway is a thriving small city full of young people who come for the university and the exciting culture that has emerge over the last decade. Galway is the ideal place from which to explore the history and natural beauty of Connemara, the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher.
The Capital: Dublin is a warm and welcoming city, known for the friendliness of its people and abundance of things to see and do. Some of the most popular attractions include the Irish Emigration Museum, the Book of Kells exhibition at Trinity College, the Guinness Storehouse and St Patrick's Cathedral.
For a first time visitor, Ireland is truly a pleasant surprise for its lively culture, amazing history, and natural beauty. But mostly, Ireland is famous for its friendly residents and for its craic (“crack”) - that mixture of repartee, humor, intelligence, and acerbic insight that has attracted writers, intellectuals, and visitors for centuries.
