We start this day trip with a journey to Ireland’s rugged and unique mid-western coast. Limerick is next, on the mighty River Shannon and then on to the imposing Bunratty Castle, with its lovely folk park. Take in the sight of the stunning Cliffs of Moher, the Burren and Galway Bay. A flavor of Galway City concludes the tour before our return to Dublin.

We head north to Bunratty Castle and Folk Village (admission included), then to a Doolin Pub for our lunch stop (lunch not included) and on to the majestic Cliffs of Moher on the wild Atlantic coast. We enter the unique lunar landscape of the Burren, rounding Black Head before heading along the shores of Galway Bay to Galway, the city of the tribes, where we join our Dublin bound train (light meals available) arriving in Heuston at approximately 8:45pm.
