This 4 day experience will take you from Galway to Kerry in the beautiful South West of Ireland. As well as getting to explore some of the country’s most breathtaking sights, you’ll also get to enjoy millennia-spanning heritage sites, characteristic pubs and plenty of “craic’ (the Irish word for fun). So, let’s dive right in and get you ready for the adventure of a lifetime!

Day One: Galway City

Your adventure begins in Ireland’s Cultural Heart: Galway City. Here, you’ll find centuries of history woven together in beautiful cobblestone streets and buildings, from the stark Gothic architecture of the Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas to the elaborate Spanish Arch.

Sightseeing can be thirsty work and in Galway City you won’t go thirsty for long. Full of life and culture, it is the home of some of the country’s most lively pubs such as Tig Cóilí, Tigh Neachtains and Massimo Bar. They have an almost international feel but the Irish atmosphere is alive and strong. Enjoy a few (or many) pints of local beer and if you’re feeling daring why not try a Guinness or two?

After all that ‘pint talk’, let’s explore some of the historical sites Galway City has to offer. Among some of the city’s main attractions are nearby historical landmarks like the National Museum, Clonmacnoise Monastic Site & Round Tower, and Aughnanure Castle. These sites are extraordinary examples of Irish heritage and each provides a unique look into its fascinating past.
Galway City also offers a variety of sporting activities, both indoor and outdoor. From the beaches of Salthill to horseback riding on Inishmore Island, there’s something for everyone! For those looking for more thrill-seeking activities, try kayaking in the Sea of Corrib or rock climbing in Connemara National Park.

Day Two: The Cliffs of Moher

On your second day, make your way to The Cliffs of Moher. Located on the southwest coast of Ireland, The Cliffs of Moher are among Europe’s highest sea cliffs and one of Ireland’s most popular sites. Measuring 214 meters at their highest point, they offer spectacular views over to the Aran Islands and Galway Bay.
On your way up to the cliffs you’ll have plenty of time to marvel at their breathtaking beauty: seabirds flying over the Atlantic, a rocky shoreline curled around an acoustic-amplifying bay and lush vegetation blanketing the rolling hills. No matter where you stand on the cliffs, you’ll be aware of their range of colors, from creamy yellows to iridescent greens.
As with all natural beauty spots around Ireland, there are plenty of activities for you to explore during your visit. An array of guided boat trips and excursions offer incredible views of The Cliffs and if you’re feeling brave enough why not climb the cliff-face itself with expert instructors?

Day Three: Kerry

On day three your journey takes you to Kerry in South West Ireland. Here you will find yourself face-to-face with some of the country’s most remarkable attractions. From centuries-old beehive huts to ancient castles, Kerry has something for everyone!
If you’re a lover of outdoors adventure then pop along to the Ring of Kerry. This is an incredibly scenic 100km circular route that passes through ancient sites like the Timoleague Friary, stone circles such as Castlegregory Stone Circle, and bustling towns such as Killarney. Stop off along the way to enjoy some amazing views, go hiking or just sit back and enjoy some traditional Irish music in a cozy pub!
For those interested in history, check out Ballyseedy Castle. This 600-year-old castle is located in County Kerry just outside Tralee Bay. Learn about its rich history – from its original owners, the Fitzgerald family, to its most famous visitor – Queen Elizabeth I – as you wander its picturesque grounds.
If you prefer a more leisurely activity then take a trip down to the Fahers Submarine life Centre in Wexford. Here visitors can experience an underwater experience on board one of Ireland’s indoor submarines or take a tour around its live captive touch tanks. It’s an experience like no other!

Day Four: Dingle Peninsula & The Blarney Stone

On day four your adventure returns to Dingle Peninsula which is located in County Kerry in Southwest Ireland. This inspiring peninsula is full of rugged beauty – from beautiful beaches to rolling hills – and is also home to some incredible wildlife such as whales, dolphins and seals.
Take your time exploring this stunning area by car or bike, venturing along its winding roads through forests and tiny villages with colorful pubs. Stop off at Magharee Beach or Inch Beach for a picnic lunch or cool swim! Make sure you don’t forget your camera – there are plenty of breath-taking photo opportunities down here!
Finally, wrap up your adventure by visiting one last iconic landmark – The Blarney Stone in Blarney Castle! Legend holds that anyone who kisses this magical stone will gain the ‘gift of gab’. So stretch up high and get ready for a kiss that could bring good luck for years to come!
