Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 9 Day Highlights of Ireland. We’re all a little bit Irish come March 17, but if you’re in the market for something more meaningful than a pint of green beer, hop aboard this delightful nine-day adventure to the Emerald Isle. Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry, traditional music in a local pub... seriously, it doesn’t get much more quintessentially Irish than this. We mix the essential sites and time in the villages to really round out the experience. Even if Ireland isn’t the Old Country for you, this trip will make you feel as though you’re back...read more home.

Itinerary

We recommend arriving a day or two early to fully explore this lively city. There are no planned activities until an evening welcome meeting.

Walk along the riverside, or marvel at the city's medieval castles and cathedrals. Don't tire yourself out too much - you'll want to get out later tonight and experience the nightlife that the Temple Bar area is known for. (B)

Continue on to Killarney with free time to enjoy the town or explore the nearby national park. (B)

Enjoy a day trip to experience some sights along the famous Ring of Kerry. Return to Killarney for another night in town. (B)

Spend a few hours following the Wild Atlantic Way along the Cliffs of Moher, taking in the stunning coastal views as you hike the trail (B)

Set off on a guided walking tour of Galway before enjoying a free afternoon to explore the city's colourful streets and bohemian atmosphere. (B)

Travel along the coast towards Northern Ireland. Stop for lunch in the historic city of Derry, then visit the mysterious Dark Hedges. End the day in Belfast. (B/L)

Stop at the Giant's Causeway and marvel at the natural phenomenon of its volcanic columns. Continue on to Bushmills Distillery for a guided tour of the oldest working distillery in Ireland. Return to Belfast. (B)

If you wish to extend your stay in Belfast, consider booking post-tour accommodation with us. Please speak to a G Adventures representative about booking accommodations in Belfast after your tour ends. (B)
