Day 3: Journey to Killarney via Adare
A Storybook Village & Scenic Vistas
This morning, we begin our southern adventure with a stop in Adare—often hailed as Ireland’s prettiest village. Picture-perfect thatched cottages, charming boutiques, cozy cafés, and a delightful heritage center await you.
From Adare, we wind our way to Killarney—heart of the Kingdom of Kerry—where natural beauty and Irish tradition meet.

Day 4: The Dingle Peninsula & Slea Head
Ireland’s West Beauty
Today, we explore what many call the most magical place in Ireland—the Dingle Peninsula. Traveling via the breathtaking Conor Pass, you’ll witness sweeping views of the Atlantic and patchwork hills that look like they belong in a painting.
Wander the colorful streets of Dingle, a quaint fishing town full of Irish charm. Then, venture to Slea Head, where ancient Dunbeg Fort and mysterious Beehive Huts whisper stories from centuries past. Visit the coastal filming location of Ryan’s Daughter, stroll the sands of Dunquin Beach, and pause at the historic Gallarus Oratory, one of Ireland’s earliest churches.
This is a day that invites you to breathe deeply and simply be present. Return to Killarney for the night, hearts full and cameras full too.

Legends, Castles & Smooth Sips
After breakfast, we head east for a day of Irish icons. At Blarney Castle, you’ll have the chance to kiss the famous Blarney Stone—said to grant the gift of eloquence. Stroll the lush gardens and shop next door at Blarney Woollen Mills, a haven of authentic Irish goods.
Later, we make our way to Midleton to visit the Jameson Whiskey Distillery. From copper stills to oak barrels, you’ll discover what makes this world-renowned spirit so special—and of course, enjoy a wee taste.
If time allows, we can stop in Cobh, the final port of call for the Titanic, and visit its poignant museum. By evening, relax in charming Adare or Cork for an overnight stay, with our team ready to book your perfect dinner spot.
Day 6: Rock of Cashel & Howth
Castles and Coastal Charms
Today we journey back toward Dublin, but not without a few unforgettable stops. First up: Cashel, home to the iconic Rock of Cashel—a dramatic site steeped in centuries of Irish history. Wander among medieval towers, cathedrals, and Celtic artifacts before we continue our drive.
This afternoon, we arrive in Howth, a quaint fishing village on Dublin’s doorstep. With a scenic harbor, cliff walks, and fresh seafood, it’s the perfect place to slow down and soak in the local charm. Dinner by the sea? Just say the word—we’ll make it happen.
Return to Dublin for a restful evening at one of the capital’s premier hotels.
Day 7: Glendalough & Wicklow Mountains
Sacred Valleys & Silver Screen Views
On your penultimate day, we head to County Wicklow, known as the Garden of Ireland. Pass through the forested Glen of the Downs before arriving at Glendalough, a 6th-century monastic site nestled between two lakes. The ancient round tower, crumbling churches, and serene trails reveal both natural and spiritual beauty.
Fans of film will enjoy spotting scenes from Braveheart and P.S. I Love You, both filmed in this captivating region. As the day winds down, we settle into the elegant Powerscourt Resort, a 5-star haven surrounded by lush Wicklow scenery.
Enjoy a final evening of leisure in nearby Enniskerry, with wonderful spots for dinner and a pint—or two.
