What's this trip about?

    Sure, have you never heard of an Irish half hour? It can stretch out for days and 5 days is what you’ve got to experience this memorable, expertly guided road trip, over ever-changing landscape, along The Wild Atlantic Way. From sucking Clarinbridge oysters and downing creamy stout in Galway, to the jaw dropping sights of the Ring of Kerry, with only the Atlantic separating the 40 shades of green from the 50 U.S. states.  Cool down with Fungie, Dingle’s resident dolphin who came for the fish in 1984 and stayed for the "craic" or feel like you’re at the edge of the world, at the dramatic Cliffs of Moher.
