This morning you’ll travel south into the Kingdom of Kerry, a journey of just under three hours with several scenic stops along the way. Begin with a memorable Hawk Walk at Dromoland Castle, where falcons swoop and soar with breathtaking speed as you learn from the falconer about their remarkable instincts and behaviors. Continue to the village of Adare, known for its thatched-roof cottages and inviting cafés, perfect for a relaxed lunch. If time allows, enjoy one of Ireland’s secret coastal walks, a hidden gem of unspoiled shoreline.

Arrive in Killarney by late afternoon and settle into your hotel. This evening you may wish to head into town to enjoy a traditional music session in one of Killarney’s lively pubs.

Today you will explore the sweeping landscapes of Kerry, where rugged mountains tumble down to the famed Lakes of Killarney. Spanning more than 10,000 hectares, Killarney National Park is a haven of woodland, waterfalls, and historic sites, from manor houses to abbeys.

The highlight of the day is a private boat trip across the lakes with a local skipper, a Kerryman who has sailed these waters since childhood. As you glide across the tranquil waters, surrounded by Ireland’s highest peaks, you’ll experience one of the most spectacular settings in the country.

Today you will explore the Dingle Peninsula, a place of wild beauty and deep tradition. Options abound: lace up your boots for a hike across its hills and trails, enjoy a stroll through Dingle town with a coffee in hand, or follow the famed Slea Head Drive along the Wild Atlantic Way. Along the way, visit ancient archaeological sites such as the Fahan Beehive Huts, reminders of Ireland’s early history.

Around every bend the peninsula reveals breathtaking views, with none more striking than Dunquin Harbour, where the road seems to fall away into the sea. Conclude the day with a taste of Dingle’s award-winning ice cream; a sweet ending to a day of coastal adventure.

This morning you will bid farewell to Ireland’s southwest and make your way to the capital. En route, stop at a family-run buffalo farm nestled in the green countryside. Here you will tour the land, meet the herd, learn about the cheese-making process from your host, Dorothy, and enjoy a special tasting featuring local produce and cheeses crafted on the farm.

Arrive in Dublin by late afternoon, where your guide will escort you to your centrally located hotel before saying goodbye. The remainder of the day is yours to explore at leisure: Dublin is a wonderfully walkable city, with many of its most famous landmarks just steps from your door.

This morning you will set out on a private walking tour with a local historian, the perfect way to experience Dublin. As you explore its streets and squares, your guide will bring to life the people, events, and stories that have shaped the city across the centuries.

The remainder of the day is yours to explore at leisure. Wander St. Stephen’s Green with a coffee in hand, tour Trinity College and the world-renowned Book of Kells, or visit the Guinness Storehouse for a taste of Ireland’s most famous export. Alternatively, settle into one of Dublin’s historic pubs for a pre-dinner drink and live traditional music.

Say farewell to Ireland and head to the airport to catch your departing flight.
