About the trip

Stretching from the wild Atlantic cliffs of Donegal to Belfast's historic streets, this seven-night itinerary unpacks Northern Ireland's coastal and cultural heritage with a methodical pace. The tour sets off with a welcome gathering in Ennistymon before moving on to traditional places like Derry, where ancient walls tell their own stories, and the geometric basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway.

Along the way, expect guided walks in Galway and Westport, a cruise on Clew Bay, and visits to sites linked with literary figures including Yeats at Drumcliff Church. The experience is framed by stays in hotels and ample time to appreciate the surroundings at places like Lough Eske Castle, punctuated by local insights from National Geographic Expedition experts. If Irish spirits are on your mind, a private whiskey cellar tasting offers a quiet moment amidst the day's proceedings.

This is a tour that takes its time to unfold Northern Ireland's coastline and culture, with a respectful blend of walking, quiet excursions and heritage sites. The blended guidance of local experts and National Geographic leaders means context and conversation are never far away. The itinerary progresses steadily from the northwest towards Belfast without hurrying its welcome along.
