ITINERARY
Day 1: Dublin to Galway
Leave Dublin's Paddy Palace at 8am and head straight spiritual beauty of the bogs of Alan in our midlands.Onwards to Galway, in-depth tour of Connemara - the most beautiful wilderness in all of Europe, this is the true rugged beauty of Ireland you have come to see! Experience dramatic mountain scenery that has been the setting for countless Hollywood blockbuster movies. Photo-stop at Kylemore Abbey, Irelands version of the Taj Mahal.After a lovely days touring and sightseeing we'll take the short drive into Irelands most beautiful city and party central - Galway. We'll find a nice pub down by Galway bay to enjoy the electrifying traditional music.
Day 2: Galway to Killarney
Today you will have the wild atlantic ocean by your side as we cruise down the West Coast. See beautiful beaches, golden sand, maybe even a few dolphins and whales. Run around the lunar landscape of the Burren – the only place on earth where Alpine, Arctic and Mediterranean flowers grow side by side – and hear your guide tell inspiring tales of how our ancestors overcame the horros of the reat Potato Famine of 1845-49, sending over a million of our ancestors to the 4 corners of the globe and in particular Britain and North.
Then it’s the irish crown jewels – THE CLIFFS OF MOHER! Gaze in awe at the majesty, you’ll see why they were the cliffs of insanity in the movie ‘The Princess Bride’ and why world surf champ Kelly Slater came to surf here last year for the award-winning cult surf movie ‘Wave-Riders’. We’ll cross the River Shannon in historic Limerick, the setting for Frank McCourts blockbuster book – Angelas Ashes.
Overnight in Killarney, our Tour-Guides favourite town because of the huge amount of activities on offer – traditional music, great restaurants, loads of dancing, an idyllic National Park with the entrance gate only a few hundred metres from our Downtown hostel! Enjoy the nightlife and try singing a few of the many songs your guide will have taught you on board the Paddywagon today!
Day 3: Killarney to Dublin
This morning consider an enjoyable Horse led ride through the National Park on the world famous Jaunting Cars (optional). You can also go on foot and savor a pleasant stroll among the ancient native woodland – oaks, ash, beech and sycamore.
Then you'll cross the Cork & Kerry Mountains in our luxury Green Paddywagon and kiss the Blarney Stone, on top of Blarney Castle in the rebel county of Cork. Excellent gift shopping and one of the most famous tourist sites in all of Europe, an exposure to mass tourism but also a lot of genuine fun!
Kissing the Blarney stone isnt everyone's cup of tea, but as historians we encourage you to explore this castle, its dungeons, its caves and its hidden bedrooms - this castle is a genuine 12th century masterpiece. The McCarthy clan believed kissing the stone would give them the gift of eloquent speech of the gift of the gab. Whether you think you need it or not, kissing the stone by dangling off the 300 feet battlements being held by a middle-aged Irishman is surely too good an offer to turn down? ;)
After lunch we visit the beautiful Rock of Castle Dunamase in the Golden Vale, Ireland’s finest agricultural land with its rolling fields and pastures fresh, a lovely place to reflect on the great 3 days you've just had before returning to Dublins fair city for our farewells and maybe a big night out at 5.30pm approx.
