4 Day Southern Ireland Tour

Day 1: Dublin – Cong Abbey – Ashford Castle – Connemara – Galway

Your private adventure begins with a luxury chauffeur pick-up at your chosen location in Dublin. Heading westward, your first destination is the charming village of Cong — best known as the setting for The Quiet Man. Explore the atmospheric Cong Abbey ruins and the grounds of the majestic Ashford Castle, nestled on the shores of Lough Corrib.

From here, continue into the raw, untamed beauty of Connemara, where lakes, mountains, and bogland shape the landscape. This Gaelic-speaking region offers a rare and authentic glimpse into Ireland’s cultural past.

Arriving into Galway City by mid-afternoon, you’ll have plenty of time to explore this vibrant and bohemian destination. Known as the “City of the Tribes,” Galway is bursting with character — from the Spanish Arch and Eyre Square, to the bustling Shop Street, filled with buskers and artisan stores. Enjoy an overnight stay in Galway and soak in the local hospitality with world-class seafood, live music, and warm conversation.

Day 2: Wild Atlantic Way – Burren – Cliffs of Moher – Limerick – Adare – Killarney

After a relaxed breakfast, take in the majestic sights of the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s iconic coastal route. Your first stop is a photo opportunity at Dunguaire Castle, perched on the edge of Galway Bay.

Travel through the otherworldly Burren — a rare limestone terrain where wildflowers of diverse climates grow side by side. Your chauffeur-guide will share stories from Ireland’s Great Famine and the role this land played in its history.

Stop for lunch in Doolin, a village celebrated for its traditional Irish food and music scene. Then, it’s on to one of Ireland’s natural crown jewels — the Cliffs of Moher. Towering above the Atlantic Ocean, these dramatic cliffs offer sweeping views of the Aran Islands and Twelve Bens mountains. Be sure to visit the eco-friendly visitor center and spot seabirds like puffins and razorbills along the way.

Continue south with a short ferry across the River Shannon into Limerick, where you’ll enjoy a brief stop at the historic Bunratty Castle. Later, meander through the storybook village of Adare, often referred to as Ireland’s prettiest town. You’ll spend the night in Killarney, a lively town brimming with charm, music, and friendly faces.

Day 3: Killarney National Park – Dingle Peninsula

Today is all about the wonders of County Kerry. Begin with a visit to Killarney National Park, where optional activities include a horse and cart ride, horseback trekking, or a peaceful walk among stunning woodland and lakeside scenery.

From there, travel west to the colorful fishing town of Dingle, known for its strong Gaelic identity, laid-back vibe, and cinematic history. Explore the town’s artisan shops and pubs, and if conditions allow, you may even catch a glimpse of Fungi the Dolphin, Dingle’s famous aquatic resident.

Enjoy a scenic loop around the Dingle Peninsula, considered one of the most beautiful drives in the world. Highlights include Beehive Huts, ancient stone dwellings, and views out to the Blasket Islands. Return to Dingle for your overnight stay and an evening full of traditional music, storytelling, and Irish hospitality

Day 4: Kerry – Cork – Blarney Castle – Wicklow Mountains – Dublin

Departing Dingle, journey across the Cork and Kerry Mountains en route to Blarney Castle — home of the legendary Blarney Stone. Kissing the stone is said to grant the “gift of the gab,” a must-do for any visitor! You’ll also have time to explore the castle’s gardens and visit Blarney Woollen Mills, a treasure trove of Irish-made gifts and textiles.

After a leisurely lunch, travel through the lush farmland of the Golden Vale, before entering the wild and haunting beauty of the Wicklow Mountains. This cinematic landscape, famously featured in Braveheart, makes for a magical end to your Irish adventure.

Return to Dublin in the early evening, with hearts full of stories and memories to last a lifetime.
