Flexible days with organised highlights

Our trip is designed to give everyone freedom to relax, explore Killarney and Cahersiveen at their own pace, or join in on collective outings. Because private minibuses and group tickets must be reserved early, we need every family member to RSVP for each scheduled activity.

Most activities in Ireland are outdoor despite the variable weather. Tours will still continue in the rain and wind - please pack accordingly. Umbrellas are not recommended as they will not survive the wind.

Please note any boat trip will be weather dependent. Also note that all boat tours which leave the harbor are considered 'deep sea' tours as they enter the Atlantic Ocean and can result in large waves even on a nice day.
