About the trip

This escorted family journey with G Adventures traces a path through Ireland’s varied scenery and cultural landmarks. Starting in Dublin, the group takes part in a treasure hunt through the city’s centre, mixing history with light-hearted discovery. The route moves westward, stopping at Bunratty Castle, where the silhouettes of medieval walls invite tales of past centuries.

From Killarney comes a day embracing local traditions: Gaelic games such as football and hurling, and a chance to learn Irish dance, guided by a professional. The walk along the Cliffs of Moher includes a visit to the visitors' centre, where natural history and folklore collide on the edge of the Atlantic. The itinerary also holds spots like the Rock of Cashel, famous for its congregation of medieval buildings, and Inisheer Island, known for its rugged charm.

Transport aboard private vehicles and ferries supports this pace over eight nights, with a maximum group size of twenty. Accommodation is locally run, mostly family-run hotels with a simple, central character. While the route respects the comfort of families travelling with children, the day’s activities offer a balance of structure and free time.
