Detailed Description
Day 1: Cork to Killarney National Park
You will start the day with the opportunity to explore, at your own pace, everything that is offered. Killarney is a great place to spend a full day, no matter what your last time of choice is. Options include: Kayaking in the lakes of Killarney, rock climbing or hiking through glacial valleys, biking through the National Park, climbing the Torc mountain to get incredible views, or simply enjoy the stunning scenery and do nothing. Optional activities are at your expense.
After a full day of discovery, you will register at your accommodation in the picturesque fishing village of Portmagee. This is also one of the best places in Ireland to join a night of stargazing.
Day 2: Valentia Island to the Dingle Peninsula
You will wake up at Valentia Island, where you can choose to walk three hours to Valentia Island and Bray Head (included), take a boat trip around the Skellig Islands, a World Heritage Site by UNESCO (€ 50.00 EUR extra - depends on the weather) or Choose to rent a bicycle and discover the island at your own pace (€ 15.00 extra).
Afterward, you will get on the bus on the south side of the Dingle peninsula, with a nice walk along the Inch beach. You will spend the night in Dingle, where you will taste fresh seafood or local craft beers in a cozy Irish pub.
During this night the accommodation will be on the edge of Dingle.
Day 3: Dingle to Cork
Isolated from the rest of Ireland by the breathtaking scenery, the Dingle Peninsula tour will take you where the locals go. You can make a path along the coast of the cliffs whipped by the wind. This incredible guided tour will take you along the spectacular Wild Atlantic Way while experiencing the most spectacular scenery that Ireland has to offer.
Upon arrival in the town of Dingle, in the afternoon we will visit the Dingle Whiskey distillery (included), a small distillery that includes generous tastings of whiskey, vodka, and gin.
After a tremendous day, it's time to return to the city of Cork. This is where your Irish adventure ends.
