Top Ireland Experiences

  • Touring Dublin with its mansions and townhouses, not to mention impressive literary legacy (home of James Joyce, Brendan Behan, and Oscar Wilde)

  • Kissing the Blarney Stone at Blarney Castle, near Cork (hint: it requires some effort)

  • Sailing with the amazing Irish coastline in view
  • Taking a short cruise to places like remote Skellig Michael Island, eight miles off the coast of southwest Ireland, and climbing 600 stone steps to the top for a picnic lunch and incredible views
  • Stepping across the thousands of basalt columns of the Giant’s Causeway, remnants of an ancient volcano that extends into the North Channel in Northern Ireland
  • Exploring the incredible ruins and archaeological sites
