Day 3: West to the rugged Atlantic Coast and County Galway. The scenic vistas here are unforgettable with its wild, natural beauty, mountains, lakes, tumbling streams and panoramic views. We´ll explore seaside Galway and enjoy the lively street entertainment for which it has become well-known, as well as find some of the thick, buttery-soft wool fishermens sweaters.
Day 4: South along the Atlantic Coast to the mighty Cliffs of Moher. Dropping 600 feet straight into the Atlantic Ocean, the cliffs are one of the most evocative and mysterious corners in Europe. Later it´s on to County Kerry and Kenmare. The lovely village is located on the east shore of Lough Leane in Killarney National Park, surrounded by the Macgillykuddy´s Reeks mountain range. A spectacular Irish setting, this is the gateway to Ireland´s other famous natural wonder, the Ring of Kerry.

Day 5: The Ring of Beara, the narrow, winding road that snakes its way around the Peninsula, has some of the most picturesque land and seascapes in the world. The drive along the coast offers ever-changing vistas of the Atlantic and of sky blue inland lakes.
Day 6: East this morning to the Rock of Cashel, where St. Patrick preached his sermons and converted King Angus to Christianity in 460. Later, its on to Kilkenny, Ireland´s most outstanding medieval city, on the banks of the River Nore. We tour the ancient Kilkenny Castle and the gardens. Begun in 1192, this magnificent castle chronicles the history of Ireland from the 12th to the 19th century.
Day 7: Northeast past the lush green of the Wicklow Mountains back to Dublin. We will have time to visit that last minute museum or pub, visit the Guinness Brewery or to find the final Irish gifts before our Farewell Dinner this evening.
