Feedback from our 2022 Irish Going Solo break: “This was an amazing trip, the tour guide Jennifer and driver Michael were both outstanding! There were 34 people, and we had the most fantastic time together, everyone made each other feel welcome. We are all keeping in touch via a WhatsApp group that we created and want to go on a trip as a group again." - Janette

Coach Itinerary

Single Travel The Wild Atlantic Way

Day 1

We catch the ferry from Holyhead to Dublin where our tour manager joins us. We continue onwards to our overnight hotel in Mullingar.

Day 2 – Brigit’s Garden & Galway  

Leaving Mullingar, we head to the magical, award-winning Brigit’s Garden, set within 11 acres of native woodland and wildflower meadows. The series of four gardens takes us on a journey through the Celtic heritage, mythology and the cycle of the seasons, with each garden representing one of the Celtic festivals of Samhain, Imbolc, Bealtaine and Lughnasa.

We continue on to Galway, which was named as the European Capital of Culture in 2020, and enjoy a guided tour of this thriving, cosmopolitan city with our tour manager. Galway has the added bonus of a seaside setting with beautiful beaches and a promenade. Later, we check in to our hotel in Ennis, where we stay for the next three nights.

Day 3 – Limerick & Bunratty Folk Park

Our day starts in Limerick where we enjoy a guided tour with our tour manager. With a lively atmosphere and a rejuvenated waterfront with a stylish boardwalk, Limerick combines Irish tradition and modernity. Built on the River Shannon, the city is overlooked by the majestic 13^th-century King John’s Castle and is also home to St John's Cathedral which boasts the tallest spire in Ireland.

We continue to the charming village of Bunratty where we take a step back in time at Bunratty Folk Park to experience village life in 19^th century Ireland. Set on 26 acres, rural farmhouses, village shops and streets have been recreated as they would have appeared at that time while costumed characters portray the traditions and lifestyle of a bygone age.

Day 4 – Lisdoonvarna & Cliffs of Moher

After some time at leisure in the wonderful spa town of Lisdoonvarna, we continue to the magnificent Cliffs of Moher including the fascinating visitor centre, which brings the different aspects of the Cliffs to life. Stretching for eight miles along County Clare’s Atlantic Coast and 214m at their highest, the cliffs offer stunning views towards the Aran Islands and Galway Bay from three different viewing platforms. They are also home to one of the major colonies of cliff nesting seabirds in Ireland.

Day 5 – Dublin

Checking out of our hotel, we travel to Dublin. Some of the sights here include the historic Temple Bar area, Trinity College, Dublin Castle and the Ha’Penny Bridge, an old iron footbridge that spans the River Liffey. We also have the option to join a locally guided tour of the city before spending the night in our hotel in the Dublin area.

Day 6

We check out of our hotel very early to catch the ferry back to Holyhead; therefore a voucher will be provided to enjoy breakfast on board. On arrival in Holyhead, we continue our journey home.

Due to ferry times, coach pickup times may be very early in the morning.
