Day 5 | Tue, May 16, 2023| The Iconic Cliffs of Moher and Onwards to Killarney (2 nights)
Our first stop today is a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience you’ll remember for years to come as you watch cliffs plunge dramatically into the Atlantic waters below. Beyond the endless views and the opportunity to capture on film the colonies of curious-looking puffins that find sanctuary in its nooks and crannies, you’ll have an opportunity to visit the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience which really brings this natural phenomenon to life in an interactive way, leaving you with a deep understanding of this special place. Later, we cross the Shannon Estuary by ferry to Killarney, our home for the next two nights. Spend a free evening soaking up some unforgettable Irish craic or delve into the town’s centuries-old history.  Meal(s): Breakfast

Dramatic vistas are ours to enjoy as we circle the achingly beautiful Ring of Kerry—one of the most scenic drives on the Emerald Isle.  See a soul-stirring landscape that has inspired poets, artists, and writers for centuries. Consider a leisurely guided walk at Torc Waterfall with a Local Specialist taking you along the lakeshore and past the farmlands of the 19th-century Muckross Estate. Please Note: This leisurely paced walk meanders over wooded paths and lakeshore trails. Walkers should wear good walking shoes for a stroll through picturesque surrounds. Return to Killarney for an authentic Irish whiskey experience. Sip and sample your way through the history and production process of Irish whiskeys.

Returning to the Irish capital, enjoy some free time to take a walk down Grafton Street or stroll along the Liffey.
