Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on Tauck's 8 Day Ireland Forever. Irresistibly Irish and endless Emerald Isle fun, this family vacation takes your family from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher... travels include a journey by train, a ride on a World War II amphibious vehicle, and cooking class at a world-famous cooking school!

Itinerary

Tour begins: 1:00 PM, The Shelbourne. A transfer is included from Dublin Airport to one of Ireland's premier hotels, the The Shelbourne, centrally located in the heart of the Irish capital on St. Stephen's Green. Your family will have the perfect introduction to the city – and a lot of fun – on a scavenger hunt that brings you key landmark sites.

Later this afternoon a visit to EPIC, the wonderful Irish Emigration Museum, tells the story of Irish emigrants the world over. Join us tonight for a welcome dinner at your elegant hotel. Stay: The Shelbourne (D)

Horses, racing and Ireland, are a rich part of history and legends. Depart Dublin today for a visit to the Irish National Stud & Gardens in Kildare for the immersive Irish Racehorse Experience.

Continue on to Cobh, where the Titanic picked up 123 passengers on April 11, 1912 on its ill-fated maiden voyage across the sea. Learn more at Titanic Experience Cobh, located in the historic White Star Line ticket office, telling the story of the ship and Irish emigration. End the day at a five-star resort hotel set on an island in Cork. Stay Three Nights: Fota Island Resort (B/L/D)

Visit Kinsale, whose Irish name means "head of the brine"; where freshwater River Bandon meets the saltwater of the sea. A charming fishing village, the town enjoys a reputation for fresh seafood, gourmet cuisine, the arts, and as a summer retreat for Irish families. Return to the resort late afternoon, and join us tonight for a barbecue dinner. (B/D)

Work up an appetite for a home-cooked Irish dinner tonight by enjoying a variety of outdoor activities at your resort this morning. After lunch, head out to Ballymaloe, the only cookery school in the world located in the middle of its own 100-acre organic farm. Tour the gardens and farm, attend a cooking demonstration by expert chefs, and with guidance, cook your own authentically Irish dinner. (B/L/D)

En route to picturesque Killarney, your family will learn all about sheep dogs at a demonstration at a sheep farm. Continue to Killarney, where the magical landscapes and rich stories intertwine on a tour by "jaunting car" (horse & carriage). The day ends with a falconry experience – the "sport of kings" is an ancient art, thought to be 4,000 years old – and is both educational and entertaining. You'll see several varieties of birds of prey including hawks, falcons and owls, with many species of each. Return to your hotel late afternoon and spend the remainder of the day as you please. Stay Two Nights: The Killarney Park (B/L/D)

A morning cruise along Lough Leane, the picturesque lower lake of the Lakes of Killarney, reveals panoramic landscapes that are the inspiration behind many Irish arts. The remainder of the day is free to explore Killarney as your family pleases. (B)

Keep your camera at the ready today as you travel to the County Clare coast to visit one of the world's most photographed natural wonders. Some five miles long, the Cliffs of Moher soar 659 feet over the crashing Atlantic Ocean waves below, providing you with amazing bird's-eye views of the craggy Irish coast... can't wait to see the pictures! Visit the town of Ennis for lunch, then head back east to County Kildare and the fabulous Carton House; join us for a farewell reception and dinner. Stay: Carton House (B/L/D)

Tour ends: Maynooth / Dublin. Fly home anytime. A transfer is included to Dublin Airport from Carton House; allow 3 1/2 hours for flight check-in at the airport. Please note: Airline schedules and arrival departure details may fluctuate; ask at time of booking. (B)
