Overview

Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 9 Day Highlights of Ireland. We’re all a little bit Irish come March 17, but if you’re in the market for something more meaningful than a pint of green beer, hop aboard this delightful nine-day adventure to the Emerald Isle. Cliffs of Moher, Ring of Kerry, traditional music in a local pub... seriously, it doesn’t get much more quintessentially Irish than this. We mix the essential sites and time in the villages to really round out the experience. Even if Ireland isn’t the Old Country for you, this trip will make you feel as though you’re back...read more home.

Enjoy a day trip to experience some sights along the famous Ring of Kerry. Return to Killarney for another night in town. Stay: Tatler Jack (B)

Travel to Ireland's west coast to Galway. Set off on a guided walking tour before enjoying a free afternoon to explore the city's colourful streets and bohemian atmosphere. Stay: Imperial Hotel Galway (B)

Spend a few hours following the Wild Atlantic Way from Doolin to the Cliffs of Moher. Soak in the views as you hike the trail. Opt for a picnic along the way. Stay: Imperial Hotel Galway (B)

Travel along the coast towards Northern Ireland. Stop for lunch in the historic city of Derry, then visit the mysterious Dark Hedges. End the day in Belfast. Stay: Ibis Belfast City Centre (B/L)
