The scenery, reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, continues as we return to Galway. The evening is open. We'll take a morning ferry across the mouth of Galway Bay to Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands. After arriving in the island village of Kilronan, we'll take a tour of the island's scenic and historic sites, highlighted by a visit to Dun Agnus, a Celtic fort more than 2,000 years old perched atop a high rock-strewn cliff overlooking the Irish mainland in the distance. Afternoon return by ferry to Galway.
Evening is open.
A travel day, going by bus from Galway through County Clare and on into County Kerry and Killarney, where we'll stay for the next five nights. Along the way we'll stop and visit a ruined castle near Ballyvaughn and the spa town of Lisdoonvarna, known for its annual match-maker festival. A well-time evening stroll though the Knockreer Estate grounds will take us to the last remaining wild herd of Irish red deer. We'll spend the day seeing the sites in Killarney, including the impressive Muckross House estate, Torc waterfall, the Ladies' View and more. Evening is open.
