Fortified with a hearty breakfast, we continue our adventure, visiting 17th century Charles' Fort (included in tour price). We take a scenic coastal drive to Old Head, and hear of the sinking of the Lusitania, the wreck of which lies just 11 miles off the coast. Learn about conspiracy theories, the role of an Irishman in her sinking and how a US billionaire gifted it to the State. 

The afternoon can be given over to free time in the town, and we'll visit the home of the famous Jameson Whiskery - Midleton Distillery 

Overnight again Kinsale 

Today is all about fresh air and nature, in the majesty of Killarney National Park. After a gentle stroll along a woodland path to Torc Waterfall, it's the choice of a hike or jaunting-car ride* around the lakes. Visit magical Muckross Abbey and keep an eye out for wild native red deer and eagles.  Another option is a visit to the stately Muckross House, where Queen Victoria once stayed. 

Time to head for Dingle.  Dingle is a great town - renowned for its food (Previous winner of Foodie Town of Ireland), music and lots of pubs for its size!  At least two bookshops, galleries, craft shops and more. And probably the best ice cream in Ireland. It’s also one of the areas where our native tongue (Gaeilge) is spoken.  We’ll be teaching you a ‘cúpla focail’ (a couple of words), you should at least be able to say ‘Hi’ by the time we get there. 

Overnight either Dingle Skellig or Benners Hotel 

 *Optional extras, Jaunting from €15 (prices subject to change) 

Staying in Dingle again tonight, so no unpacking. You can relax, take a stroll around the town of Dingle with its galleries and craft shops. Or maybe take a more gentle boat ride around the bay.
We can also arrange horse-riding along a beach, and sea kayaking or traditional Irish boat rowing in Dingle harbour.
We’ll head out on what has been described as one of the most scenic drives in the world, along Slea Head. We’ll see beehive huts (a definite for Star Wars fans) similar to those on Skellig Michael, along with lots more history. We’ll visit local artisans to see their work and creativity. 

 *All additional optional activites incurring extra charge payable directly to supplier 

Heading towards County Clare, we visit a working sheep farm (included in tour price). Here, we'll experience the unique bond between human and dog whilst learning all about life on the land. 

After a quick stop in one of Ireland's most picturesque villages, Adare, and its main street of traditional thatched cottages, we move on to the famed Cliffs of Moher, timing our arrival to avoid the crowds. 

Then it's just a short drive to our overnight accommodation in nearby Lahinch, where you can take a stroll along the prom (or take a swim) before dinner. 

 Overnight Lahinch Coast Hotel 

It may be your last day with Anam Croí but it's full steam ahead as we make an early start to drive through the magical and unique landscape the Burren. We visit historic university city of Galway, home of the Claddagh ring. Take some time to meander through the mesh of narrow streets and be entertained by buskers and dancers as you wander. 

Grab some lunch before meeting up to start making our way back towards Dublin, ensuring a rest stop along the way.

 We'll arrive back to Dublin around 6pm, having swopped contacts with new found friends, created new memories with old, and shared experiences, laughs and most of all, discovered what 'having the craic' is all about.
