Enjoy the Emerald Isle like never before on a British Isles expedition which includes a comprehensive Ireland tour. Discover mysterious Dún Aengus; the cliffside monasteries and lookout towers of the Celtic monks; the Viking legacy of Waterford; and the 17th – 18th century English fortresses, mansions, and elaborate gardens gracing Cork and Killarney. Rolling green glens are studded with shimmering lakes and dramatic cliffs, busy with breeding seabirds, that reach vertically from the sea. In true Ireland adventure travel style, we explore such islands as the Saltees, Skellig Rocks, and Blasket as well as Scotland’s Inner Hebrides by Zodiac. Northern Ireland’s Giant’s Causeway, a World Heritage Site, along with a visit to Scotland's Lagavulin Whiskey Distillery make a fitting finale to our British Isles tour.
British Isles Adventure Travel Highlights:
- Zodiac excursion to the privately owned Saltee Islands to view the resident seabirds, including puffins and peregrine falcons.
- Embark on an iconic drive that encompasses some of the world’s finest scenery from Sneem to the market town of Kenmare, best known as the Ring of Kerry
- Giant’s Causeway, some 40,000 closely packed hexagonal columns that descend like a staircase into the sea—a favorite stop on our Ireland tour.
- Admire the skill and mastery of blowing, cutting, and engraving crystal ware at the renowned Waterford Crystal Gallery
- Raise a pint with fellow travelers and locals alike at several of the many pubs that dot the country throughout our Ireland expedition
