ยAbout experience
Day 1: Medieval Castles - Distillery Experience - Titanic
Stop At: Rock of Cashel, Rock Vista Moor Lane, Cashel Ireland
We leave Dublin and head south, arriving at Cobh harbour in County Cork, the place of 3 million goodbyes as famine and poverty forced people aboard ships bound for a better life. Itโs also where the Titanic last stopped, before embarking on her ill-fated voyage.
Is it a Chapel? Is it a Palace? Is it a Cathedral? The 1000 year old Rock of Cashel is all three and itโs an open-mouthed moment.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Jameson Distillery Midleton, Distillery Walk, Midleton Ireland
Weโll travel forward to the 17th century and the home of the Midleton Distillery, now a modern complex and the largest whiskey producer in Ireland. From Jameson to Powers and Tullamore Dew to a Middleton Rare, get to taste, mull and learn about our uisce beatha (water of life).
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Cobh, Cobh, County Cork
Itโs back to the twinkly lights of colourful Cobh and over a pint of the blackstuff, (Murphyโs, not Guinness in these parts) in Mansworthโs, youโll hear backstories about how this pub was the last port of call for the misty-eyed emigrants, waiting for their ships to come in. The harbour beckons and perhaps a trip to the Quayโs Bar & Restaurant, famous for its private marina and slow roasted scallops.
Duration: 4 hours
No meals included on this day.
Accommodation included: The Commodore in Cobh is perfect to wind down and get a good night sleep
Day 2: Kiss The Blarney Stone - Ring of Kerry
Stop At: Blarney Castle & Gardens, Monacnapa, Blarney, Cork T23 Y598 Ireland

After a stop in Kenmare with its quirky teashops and craft galleries, weโll take on The Ring of Kerry; 179km, of mystical and magical landscape where goats are crowned Kings (Puck Fair).

Day 3: Skellig Michael Landing Tour - Streets of Killarney
Stop At: Skellig Michael, Ballinskeillig Bay Ireland
Long ago, before the Jedis came from a galaxy, far, far away, monks from the 6th century, would climb the 599 steps carved out of the prismatic Skellig Michael, too fast and pray in its intricate, stone beehive cells. Named after the archangel Michael, while the word "Skellig" is derived from the Gaelic sceilig, meaning a splinter of stone, it is home to the oldest preserved monastery in Europe and a variety of gannets, puffins, razorbills and grey seals. In Star Wars lore, it is the island sanctuary, Ahch-To where Luke Skywalker trains Rey in the ways of The Force.
Duration: 6 hours
