Atlantic Voyage | Galway to Killarney

Explore the back roads of Ireland, with its friendly people, stunning landscapes and musical tradition, as we travel along the wild Atlantic coast from Connemara to Killarney National Park via the Aran Islands.

  • Experience the 'Real Ireland' as the hum of traditional music leads us though the wild west, from the spectacular beauty of Connemara, with its silent valleys, pristine fjords and fairy-tale castle, to the lonesome Aran Islands, where soft-hearted villages welcome us into their laid-back lives.

    We'll revel in colourful Galway city, before wandering the tortured stone landscape of the Burren, speckled with a myriad of traditional villages and ancient ruins, to view Ireland's most spectacular Cliffs of Moher. The rugged Dingle Peninsula takes to us to 'the edge of the world', where we enjoy splendid walks and bike rides on the scenic Slea Headland, before seeking out traditional music in Dingle’s famed 'hidden pubs'. Our final day takes us into Killarney National Park, where we'll explore the lakeshore by foot, bike and kayak*. After a scrumptious picnic lunch, we'll set out from Ross castle by open boat across Killarney's magical lakes, to Lord Brandon's Cottage, where this fun-packed week comes to an end with a leisurely walk through the Gap of Dunloe and on to Kate Kearney's Cottage - a traditional old pub that marks the end of the track and our tour!
