Ireland South DayTripper! Departure May 30, 2027 - Fly into

Ireland South DayTripper! Departure May 30, 2027 - Fly into Shannon and returning from Dublin

Authentic Local Experiences:

  • Live like a local in one of Ireland’s most charming villages as you spend five nights in Adare, Co. Limerick. This historic town is the perfect hub for your vacation: get to know the lively shops and pubs as you explore.  
  • Discover the rich history of Cobh – recently named by Condé Nast as one of Europe’s 25 most beautiful small towns. The departure point for millions of emigrants over the centuries, Cobh was the last port of call for the Titanic. 

Day 1 Walking Tour of Adare & Welcome Dinner

Your tour departs from your hotel at 2:00 PM. The Dunraven, your home for the next five nights, is a luxurious 18th-century family-run hotel, and one of the oldest in Ireland. Adare is one of Ireland’s prettiest villages, and its history stretches back to the 12th century. 


Join a local guide for a walking tour to see charming, thatched cottages, ancient churches, and historic buildings built in the early 19th century by the Earl of Dunraven. In the evening, go to the nearby Fitzgerald’s Woodland House Hotel for a welcome drink and dinner featuring local produce.
(D) 

Day 2 Cliffs of Moher, The Burren & Sheepdog Demonstration

Travel to the Cliffs of Moher, stunning sea cliffs that tower above churning Atlantic swells. Drive through the Burren, where you’ll be amazed at the incredible landscape of glacial-era limestone dotted with cliffs, caves, and unique flowers and wildlife. Immerse yourself in farm life as you watch highly skilled sheepdogs herd their flock. Dine at your hotel in Adare this evening.

Day 3 Dingle Peninsula & South Pole Inn

Travel to the rugged mountainous landscapes of the Dingle Peninsula; many people speak Irish in this stronghold of traditional culture. In the charming town of Dingle, stop for lunch at Paul Geaney’s Pub, a family-run gastropub on Main Street in the heart of town. Enjoy free time before departing for the South Pole Inn in the village of Annascaul. Enjoy a drink as you hear the story of the pub’s former owner – Ireland’s Antarctic explorer, Thomas Crean, who made several trips to the South Pole with Robert Scott and Ernest Shackleton. Return to Adare where your evening is free to explore and dine independently.
(B, L) 

Day 4: Scenic Train to Cobh, Titanic Walking Tour & Blarney Castle

Take one of Ireland’s most scenic rail journeys from Cork and arrive in the seaport town of Cobh. Its picturesque harbor was the last glimpse of Ireland for millions of emigrants over the centuries. Join a local guide for a walking tour to explore Cobh’s role as the last port of call for the ill-fated Titanic, followed by free time to explore the town. At Blarney Castle, you can kiss the “Stone of Eloquence” or explore the elegant gardens. Continue back to Adare, where you’ll dine at your hotel.

A voucher will admit you to your choice of one of the city’s top attractions: Guinness Storehouse, the GPO Museum, Teeling Whiskey Distillery, or Jameson Bow St. Experience. Your hotel is in a great location in the historic Liberties – near the Guinness Storehouse and close to the lively pubs of Temple Bar.
