As soon as we gather everyone together, we point our luxury tour bus west towards Galway.
This 2.5hour journey takes us out of the hustle and bustle of Dublin City across to the wild West of Ireland.
Galway is a medieval City, much smaller than Dublin, and will be our home for the next two nights.
Overnight Galway 1/2
Wandering out west of Galway City we quickly find ourselves in the mountainour and culturally vibrant haven of Connemara.
Where the Irish language still survives, we'll ramble into a few rural local pubs, meet the locals and find ourselves some mischief to get up to.
Upon return to Galway City, we'll enjoy our first of two group dinners of the trip. All we're telling you is to bring your dancing shoes!
Overnight Galway 2/2
You've probably never even heard of the island of Inis Óirr, but we're confident that this next location will be the favorite part of many who are on this trip.
This remote island off the west Coast of Ireland is steeped in history that goes back over 4000 years and is still enhabited by over 200 locals who are just dieing to meet you and have a chat. Don't worry, the island has three pubs, a grocery store and a handful of eateries. This will be our home for two nights, and you're going to love it!
Overnight Inis Oirr 1/2
No rush getting out of bed on Day 4, only if you want to get up to the castle or walk back to the shipwreck before the "day trippers" arrive in.
This day is all about chillig out, hanging with the locals, going for a dip in the sea or just chuckin' back pints of the island beer. If you get itchy feet, we'll set you off on a bike trip around the island. Alternatively, we'll hook you up with one of the local horse-buggy lads (Amish style) and he'll take you for a spin!
"We'll see ya when we see ya"
Overnight Inis Oirr 1/2
At some point late morning we part ways with Inis Óirr and take a ferry cruise under the Cliffs of Moher and into the harbor town of Doolin. Just in case you haven't enough of the Cliffs, we'll also take you up to the top so you can get the whole picture.
After that, it's a relatively chilled day cruise down the west coast of Ireland stopping into a couple chilled out towns and villages for pints and Ice Cream.
Before sunset we'll check into on of our favorite hotels in all of Ireland. More on that closer to the arrival!
Overnight West Clare 1/1
Cross from Co. Clare into Co. Kerry bring awesome vista's into our horizon of mountains, the feet of which is our destination for the night.
The gorgrous town of Dingle is colorful in many many ways and home to some of Irelands finest food suppliers and restaurants. It also has an incredible reputation for its traditional Irish Music, so expect many feasts of many senses.
For those of you with memory left in your camera at this point, we'll cap the day with a sunset drive out along the Dingle Peninsula. Amazing stuff indeed!
Overnight Dingle 1/1
This is the part of the tour where Mr. Joe Devoy takes the guides seat (and microphone) to tell us all about the wonderfull town of Dungarvan where he grew up. Although, some would argue whether he ever grew up at all!
And just to make sure his stories are really interesting an hilarious, we'll make a stop off at one of Irelands top whiskey distillery's for a tour and many many samples! I'm sure Joe's stories will be much better after that...
Overnight Dungarvan 1/1
Winding our way back up to Dublin, where this s**t-show all began, we take the scenic route up the Ancient East Coast of Ireland.
This region is characterised by it's abundance of monestaries, mountains and lakes. If the group is interested we'll stop in for a look. If not, then we'll just keep going. That's the kind of trip this is!
This will be our final night together and we'll mark the ocassion with a group dinner... And maybe a sing-song so send you home with.
Overnight Greystones 1/1
Depending on your individual post-tour plans, we'll help you get you on your way. If you're flying back to the US that day then we'll get you to Dublin Airport. If you're staying in Dublin for a few days, then we'll drop you there. If it's somewehere else then we'll do what we can to get you as close as possible at least.
