Set sail on an adventure to the tranquil Scattery Island, uninhabited for over fifty years. Awarded The European Destination of Excellence for Cultural Tourism in 2017 and framed within the calm waters of the Shannon Estuary, this incredible location has been the backdrop to Irish myths for centuries. Traverse ancient ruins, and take in the wealth of historic sites, including five churches, a cathedral, a magnificent round tower and the homes of the island's previous inhabitants. Hear tales of the Vikings, monks and pirates that have called this truly unique place home during an exclusive Q&A with the owner. Ferry transfer from Kilrush Marina to Scattery Island is included (20 min each way). Hot drinks & snacks will be available to purchase during crossing.

Bunratty Castle
Built in 1425 and set in 26 acres of Clare countryside, Bunratty Castle is the most complete and authentic medieval castle in Ireland. Look through a window into Ireland's past as you wander the vast treasure trove of rich tapestries and historic artifacts, many over 400 years old. Take in the sights, sounds and smells of 19th century rural life in the enchanting folk park, complete with farmhouses, working shops, a post office and school. Drink in a vivid cocktail of colours in the Regency Walled Garden, meet baby lambs, rabbits and ducks at Pa's Pet Farm, or enjoy a pint of stout in McNamara and Son's traditional Irish pub during this delightful dive into Irish heritage.

Wild Atlantic Way
We journey by coach along the shores of Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, guided by our local expert. First stopping at the world-renowned Cliffs of Moher, where you can view Europe's breath-taking western frontier and enjoy the spectacular vistas dotted with puffins, penguins and the even the odd dolphin. Please note: Entry fees are not included. Moving north the next stop is the charming village of Doolin, home of traditional Irish music. On to the Burren, where cool grey rock etched with crevices and cracks tumbles down to the Atlantic Ocean. The vast lunar-like landscape is thought to have inspired the setting for 'Middle Earth' in J.R.R Tolkien's Lord of The Rings.Our Hotels
