Coastal Gems of the Emerald Isle
Ireland’s dazzling coastal beauty takes center stage on this magical, 11-night journey! Explore the Wild Atlantic Way, beginning with the spectacular Cliffs of Moher and the fossil-laden limestone terrain of the Burren. Ferry to the starkly beautiful Aran Island of Inishmore and take in Achill Island’s moors and mountains. Amid Connemara’s glacier-carved landscape, watch lively border collies herding sheep on a family farm. Next, venture north on a less explored route to a hidden gem, County Donegal. Be awed by Slieve League, Ireland’s highest sea cliffs, and taste authentic dishes crafted by up-and-coming Donegal chefs on a culinary tour. From there, travel into Northern Ireland to visit the vibrant walled city of Derry-Londonderry and Giant’s Causeway, a natural wonder of interlocking stone columns. This well-rounded, small-group experience features tours of two 19th-century castles, and tales from a traditional Irish storyteller.
