Embark on an unforgettable journey along Ireland's breathtaking Wild Atlantic Way. This tour blends rugged coastlines, cultural treasures, and charming towns, taking you from the scenic splendor of the west to the historic heart of Northern Ireland. 

  • Day 1: New York City
    Arrive in NYC for a welcome dinner with fellow guests followed by your choice of Broadway show (options will be provided as we get closer to the summer)
  • Day 2: Flight to Dublin
    Morning and afternoon free to make your own plans. The entire group will have to check out by noon and we will store all our bags together at the front desk. The motor coach is scheduled to depart the hotel for JFK at 4:30 PM
  • Day 3: Westport
    The group will arrive in Dublin, where we meet our beloved guide, Gary. We will then board the coach and begin our journey west with a planned stop at Castletown House for lunch. After lunch, we will continue to our first hotel, The Westport Plaza Hotel. We plan to arrive around check-in time at 3 PM and will have our Ireland Welcome Dinner at the hotel at 6:30 PM. 
  • Day 4: Achill Island
    This morning, we will take our first-day trip to Achill Island (about an hour's drive from the hotel). Achill Island lies off the west coast of County Mayo. Marked by rugged mountains and peat bogs, the island is known for its tall sea cliffs. After our morning journey, we plan to stop for lunch in Keem on our way back to the hotel. Late afternoon and evening will be free to make your own plans in Westport. 
  • Day 5: Depart for Donegal 
    From Westport, journey to the rugged beauty of Donegal's coastline. Settle in for two nights near Donegal town, where dramatic sea cliffs, sandy beaches, and misty mountains await. On our way, we will have a planned stop at Yeats Grave. From there, we plan to be in Donegal for lunch with free time for shopping. After check-in at Lough Eske Castle, you will have the evening free to make your own dinner plans, whether at the hotel or in town. 
  • Day 6: Slieve League Cliffs
    This morning we will visit the awe-inspiring Slieve League Cliffs—some of Europe’s highest and three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher. On our return to Donnegal, we will have a planned stop at the woolen mills in Adara. Once again you will have the evening free in Donegal. 
  • Day 7: Northern Ireland
    Heading north, cross into Northern Ireland for a walking tour of the walls of Derry. After our tour, we will break for lunch in Derry and continue into Northern Ireland to explore the iconic Giant's Causeway—a UNESCO World Heritage site formed by ancient volcanic activity. Take in the spectacle of these hexagonal columns rising from the sea before traveling onward to for our two nights Belfast. 
  • Day 8: Belfast
    Today will be our day to see the top attractions in Belfast, which will include a black taxi tour of the murals and admission to the Titanic Museum. Dinner this evening will be at leisure. 
  • Day 9: Head South towards Dublin (final hotel still subject to change)
    Our final stop will get us one step closer to Dublin for our return flight the following morning. After our departure in the morning, we will make a planned stop at Newgrange, and then continue to our final hotel Ballymascanlon Hotel and Golf Resort. Our plan is to arrive a little before check-in so guests can relax and unwind in the comforts of this historic estate. Tonight, we will have our Farewell Dinner at the hotel where we can dine and reflect on our journey across Ireland and Northern Ireland. 
  • Day 10: Group Departure
    Early morning check-out of our hotel to head to Dublin International Airport for our group flight back to JFK where you will connect to your home cities.
