This three-day tour takes in the major sights along Ireland’s west and south-west coasts, giving you a genuine feel for Irish culture well beyond Dublin.
You’ll visit Connemara National Park, Gaelic-speaking Galway on the Wild Atlantic Way, the limestone landscapes of the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, the village of Doolin, the River Shannon, the breathtaking Dingle Peninsula, highlights of the Ring of Kerry, and Killarney. Your two overnight stays are in Galway - Ireland’s traditional music capital - and on the Dingle Peninsula, one of the last Irish-speaking parishes before the Atlantic opens out to America.
It’s one of Paddywagon’s most popular tours, with a strong following of repeat and referred guests.
Departure is at 08:00am - please check in at least 15 minutes before.
Meeting point: Check in with staff at Paddys Palace, Lower Gardiner Street, Dublin. Departure at 08:00am - please arrive at least 15 minutes early.
In Galway - you overnight here, which gives you an evening in one of Ireland’s best music cities. Galway has seventy-plus pubs and a trad session somewhere most nights of the week. Tigh Coili on Dominick Street runs a serious session from 9:30pm, Tig Mongáin is for the musicians who’d rather not be watched, and Crane Bar has a village-pub feel that the city pubs around it can’t quite match. For food, Ard Bia at Nimmo on Quay Street has a locally-led menu that changes with what’s in season. The medieval core - Shop Street to Quay Street - is walkable end-to-end in thirty minutes and the laneways off it reward getting properly lost.
At Doolin - the Cliffs of Moher visitor centre ticket is included, but Doolin itself is worth a proper stop before or after. The village is three hamlets - Harbour, Fisher Street, Roadford - with four pubs between them, and at least one session running most nights. Gus O’Connor’s on Fisher Street (the O’Connor family have run it for six generations since 1832) and McDermott’s up at the crossroads are the two to know. The chowder in any of them is not a tourist gesture.
On the Dingle Peninsula - you’re overnighting here, so you have an evening in Dingle town, which is small enough to walk in twelve minutes. Out of the Blue on the harbour serves only what came off the boats that morning and closes when the boats don’t go out - worth checking if it’s open when you arrive. Murphy’s sea-salt ice cream on the main street is the thing to try after dinner. The Pier Loop (out the pier, past the lighthouse, back along the lower road, forty minutes) is the best pre-breakfast walk in Kerry.
At Killarney - Killarney is Ireland’s first national park from the town’s back door. The optional horse and carriage ride through the park is a tourist staple; the walk to Knockreer (ten minutes from the high street, through the cathedral gates, down to the lakeshore) is the local’s version and free. If the tour stops at Muckross House, the yew tree on Innisfallen Island, reachable by rowboat from Ross Castle, is older than most of the buildings on Muckross estate - that’s the scale of the place you’re standing in.
