Tuesday, August 20 - EXPERIENCE THE ICONIC CLIFFS OF MOHER AND ON TO KILLARNEY

We leave Limerick and stop at the spectacular Cliffs of Moher on the famous 'Wild Atlantic Way.' You'll feel like you've returned to an ancient time as you gaze across the water, all the way to the Aran Islands' if the weather is good. Visit the interactive visitor center, where this incredible UNESCO-listed natural phenomenon comes to life in a way you would not get to see with your own eyes. You'll watch, enchanted by how the curious-looking Atlantic Puffins take sanctuary in the cliffs and go beneath the surface to see how the sediment has stacked up over 300 million years to create this towering backdrop. Inspired by the irresistible beauty of this special place, you'll continue to your hotel in Killarney with a scenic drive to the ferry departure point and journey across the Shannon Estuary. Our home for the next two nights is the colorful little town of Killarney.
