Considering Ireland for your next adventure?
Here are the can’t-miss sites and exclusive ways to experience them.
Wild Beauty and Iconic Landmarks
Ireland’s most famous sights are famous for a reason. But the way you experience them can make all the difference.
- Cliffs of Moher – Skip the crowds and visit at sunrise with a private guide, or book a helicopter flyover to see their full scale from above.
- Ring of Kerry – Drive it with a private chauffeur or classic vintage car, stopping at artisan shops, dramatic viewpoints, and tucked-away ruins.
- Giant’s Causeway (Northern Ireland) – Hike the basalt columns with a local guide who shares the mythology, geology, and stories you won’t find on signs.
Step onto another world along the Giant’s Causeway, where 40,000 interlocking basalt columns meet the wild Atlantic coast. This UNESCO World Heritage site blends natural wonder with a sense of adventure—ideal for travelers who want their journey to feel as unique as the landscape beneath their feet.
Historic Stays and Cultural Experiences
A tailored itinerary blends adventure with connection. That might mean checking into a castle hotel or sipping whiskey where it’s distilled by hand.
- Ashford Castle or Adare Manor – Stay in five-star splendor with access to falconry, fishing, golf, and gourmet dining.
- Dublin – Go beyond the tourist trail with a private literary pub crawl, insider tour of Trinity College, or an evening of live music curated just for you.
- Galway – Sample local oysters, cheeses, and Irish spirits on a personalized food tour, or catch a traditional session in a candlelit pub.
Each day offers a new blend of indulgence and authenticity.
Step into a world of refined comfort at Ashford Castle, where every detail is designed for an unforgettable stay. From sumptuously appointed rooms to personalized service and a host of unique activities, your time here feels truly special. Wake up to lakeside views, explore the castle’s storied halls, and unwind knowing every moment is expertly cared for.
Hidden Gems for the In-the-Know Traveler
Prefer places where the tour buses don’t go? These under-the-radar stops offer just as much awe—with fewer crowds.
- Slieve League Cliffs – Some of Europe’s tallest sea cliffs—rougher, wilder, and quieter than Moher.
- Sheepdog demo in Connemara – Watch skilled border collies work with local farmers in an unforgettable live display.
- Boutique distillery tastings – Skip the big-brand tours and opt for smaller operations like Dingle or Teeling, where the passion is as potent as the pour.
These hidden highlights elevate your itinerary from great to exceptional.
Discover the untamed beauty of the Slieve League Cliffs—soaring nearly three times higher than the Cliffs of Moher and offering breathtaking views over the Atlantic. This is Ireland at its wildest and most awe-inspiring, perfect for travelers who want to experience nature at its grandest, away from the crowds.
