Take in some of the most beautiful views of Ireland on this full-day tour of the Ring of Kerry from Limerick. As you ride the 111-mile-long (179-km-long) circular route, pass by places such as Waterville, Sneem, and Killarney National Park. Spot beaches, villages, green pastures, and mountain ranges in County Kerry, and make your last visit to the stunning Torc Waterfall.

Discover the splendors of the Dingle Peninsula on a full-day trip from Limerick. Traveling by air-conditioned vehicle with an expert driver-guide, admire this mountainous stretch of Atlantic coast as you learn about its natural history and rich past.  Enjoy breathtaking ocean views as you drive around Slea Head, Europe’s most westerly drive; and stroll on Inch Beach, a beauty spot and surfers’ favorite. Gaze out at the Blasket Islands, including the ‘Sleeping Giant’ island, and visit Dingle, the pretty main town, famous for its friendly harbor dolphin, ‘Fungie.’

Enjoy a night of medieval enchantment at Bunratty Castle in Ireland, with a 4-course feast fit for a king included. Be welcomed by a kilted piper as you cross over the drawbridge and into the castle. Witness a crowning before making your way to the banquet room with long oak tables, bench seating, and candlelight. Listen to wonderful harp and fiddle music while you eat and drink wine, and then end the night with more medieval-themed surprises and music.

Raise a glass to an evening of Irish music, dancing, and culture at Bunratty Castle with dinner and a show in the heart of Bunratty Folk Park, the castle’s recreated 19th-century Irish village. After a welcome glass of mead or Irish cream liqueur, you’ll listen to a storyteller weave traditional folk tales, hear the distinctive rhythms of Irish dancing and ballads, and enjoy a four-course dinner of traditional Irish cuisine.

Quality vegan options are not always easy to come by in Limerick. Skip the limited menu options at typical restaurants and treat yourself to an expertly prepared plant-based meal during a 3-hour cooking demonstration. Set in the local home of an expert cook, watch your host prepare a 3-course meal right before your eyes. Possible dishes include wild mushroom pie with sweet potato, coconut cake, and smoked carrot pate.
