The Southern Highlights of Ireland

Welcome to the South-East
Touch down in Dublin, where your adventure begins. At Coach Park 16 our team greets you with a warm Irish welcome before sweeping you south into Wexford’s rolling landscapes. Step back in time at the National Heritage Centre, where reconstructed settlements let you wander through 9,000 years of history. Continue to the hauntingly powerful Dunbrody Famine Ship, where actors and exhibits recreate the courage and hardship of those who braved the Atlantic in search of hope.

Craftsmanship and Coastal Charm
Travel west to Waterford, Ireland’s oldest city, famed worldwide for its shimmering crystal. Watch master glasscutters transform molten fire into sparkling art—each piece a living legacy of skill and beauty.

Evening Leisure and Overnight Stay
Arrive in the harbour town of Dungarvan, a gem on Ireland’s Copper Coast. Enjoy a seaside stroll, indulge in local seafood, or sip a pint in a cosy pub before resting up for the adventures ahead.

A Taste of Tradition
Begin the day with a visit to the iconic Jameson Distillery in Midleton. Let your senses come alive with the aroma of oak casks, the warmth of golden whiskey, and stories of craft passed down through generations.

The Gift of the Blarney Stone
Next, enter the fairytale realm of Blarney Castle. Climb its winding spiral staircases, wander through mystical gardens, and, if you dare, kiss the legendary Blarney Stone to gain the famed “gift of the gab.”

Cork’s Vibrant Streets
Arrive in Cork, the “Rebel City,” alive with colour, culture, and culinary delights. Explore lively markets, riverside walks, and buzzing streets before enjoying Cork’s nightlife and an overnight stay.

Journey to Kerry
Leave Cork behind and journey west into Kerry, a land of soaring peaks and glassy lakes. Arrive in Killarney, a town wrapped in charm and framed by breathtaking scenery.

Nature and Heritage at Muckross
Step into the splendour of Killarney National Park, with its sprawling gardens, tranquil lakes, and the grand Muckross House, steeped in Victorian elegance. Wander leafy trails to Torc Waterfall, where foaming cascades tumble into an emerald forest.

Evening in Killarney
As evening falls, Killarney comes alive with laughter, music, and storytelling. Explore traditional pubs, enjoy hearty Kerry dishes, and soak in the warmth of Irish hospitality before your overnight stay.

Panoramas from Above
After breakfast, ascend to Aghadoe Viewpoint. From here, the Lakes of Killarney and rugged peaks of the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks stretch out before you—a scene that feels painted by nature itself.

The Ring of Kerry Adventure

Embark on the epic Ring of Kerry, a road trip of legends. Along the way, gaze upon dramatic cliffs, golden beaches, and charming villages like Sneem and Waterville. Step back centuries at the Bog Village, where turf fires, thatched cottages, and simple tools reveal Ireland’s rural past in vivid detail.

Evening Return to Killarney
Return to Killarney, where vibrant music, candlelit dinners, and cheerful streets set the perfect tone for your overnight stay.

Across Land and Sea
Depart Killarney and cross the broad River Shannon by ferry at Tarbert, a short but memorable voyage linking Kerry with Clare.

The Iconic Cliffs of Moher
Stand at the edge of Ireland’s raw beauty at the Cliffs of Moher. Rising 700 feet above the roaring Atlantic, these towering cliffs stretch for miles, offering staggering views where puffins, guillemots, and kittiwakes wheel above the waves. It’s a place where sea, sky, and spirit collide.

Evening in Clare
Settle into County Clare for your overnight stay, where rugged coastlines and traditional music carry the rhythm of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Heritage and Hospitality
Journey eastward towards Dublin, but not before stopping in Athlone at Sean’s Bar—officially Ireland’s oldest pub, where stories and songs flow as richly as the pints.

Final Farewell
Make a final cultural stop at Dun na Sí Heritage Park, a living celebration of Irish tradition where music, folklore, and crafts echo the heart of the nation. Arrive in Dublin filled with unforgettable memories of six days spent where history and beauty intertwine at every turn
