Day 3 - Dingle Peninsula
Tralee is the gateway to the Dingle Peninsula which we explore today on our included excursion. We begin with a scenic drive around the peninsula. The area has provided a backdrop to many films, including the 70s film ‘Ryan’s Daughter’. Each turn provides spectacular views of long, sandy beaches, breathtaking steep cliffs and hidden bays. The peninsula is dominated by the range of mountains that form its spine, running from the Slieve Mish to Mount Brandon, Ireland’s second highest peak. Around lunchtime, we arrive in Dingle where you will have free time to explore this quaint town.

We leave our hotel today and make our way north to the Galway area for an overnight stay. En route we pause at Adare, often described as Ireland’s prettiest village. With its thatched cottages, art and craft shops and its fashion boutiques, it’s easy to see why it has gained this reputation. From Adare we head to the spectacular Cliffs of Moher in County Clare (weather permitting). We include entrance to the excellent Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience. Be sure to take your camera as the views from the 700-feet high cliffs are simply breathtaking. We continue across County Clare and the rocky landscape of the legendary Burren to our hotel near Galway.
