Day 2 takes in the relaxing green landscapes of the Irish midlands.

Keep your camera at the ready for photos of the iconic ruins on the Rock of Cashel, formerly the seat of the High Kings of Munster.

Visit Blarney Castle to kiss the famous Blarney Stone which is said to bestow the ‘gift of eloquence’ or better known in Ireland as the ‘gift of the gab’, or explore the tranquil gardens.

Pay a visit to the Blarney Woolen Mills to take home some local, quality Irish made goods.

Day 3: Ring of Kerry & Skellig Experience

Next up is the most popular scenic drive, the Ring of Kerry and for a good reason. 

Photo opportunities are aplenty on this magnificent scenic route.

Enjoy a relaxed lunch before crossing the bridge to Valentia Island to visit the Skellig Experience Visitor Centre. The centre tells the life of early Christian monks on Skellig Michael, a small, rugged island off the coast of Kerry, which featured in the “Star Wars VII” movie.

Pause for a stroll around the village of Sneem, with its brightly-painted houses and again at Moll’s Gap for panoramic views.

Experience a taste of farming life with a sheepdog demonstration.

Spend the evening in Killarney for dinner on your own and perhaps a visit to one of the town’s many popular and lively pubs.

Embark on a memorable ferry ride across the peaceful River Shannon Estuary.

Witness the breathtaking beauty of the Cliffs of Moher – towering 700 feet (200m) above the Atlantic sea.

The drive will take you past Lahinch Golf Course, one of Ireland’s most famous links courses, and through the quaint towns of Ennis to Bunratty.

For the evening, we will head to Bunratty or Knappogue Castle for a memorable dining experience. During and after the banquet meal, the lords and ladies will serenade you with traditional song and harp music, evocative of the Middle Ages.

Day 5: Galway & Connemara Marble Factory

On Day 5, you can explore beautiful Galway city on Ireland’s west coast before heading out along the famous Galway Bay to the seaside town of Spiddal where the local people still speak their native Irish language.

Journey through the boglands of Connemara to Moycullen to visit the Connemara Marble Factory. Quarried in Connemara, the soft green shades of the marble resemble the vivid colours of the countryside from which it is cut.

Enjoy tea and scones before traveling back across the country to Dublin. On arrival in Dublin, spend your evening freely exploring the pubs in the lively Temple Bar area or around Grafton Street and enjoy dinner in any of Dublin’s fine restaurants.
