Working with Eric to plan my milestone birthday was the best experience. He found me the perfect stay in Hawaii and kept me well informed. Read More >
COUNTRIES VISITED:Ireland
PLACES VISITED:Connemara
SUGGESTED DURATION:1 Days
My wife and I traveled to the beautiful, green countryside of Ireland in July 2025. We flew from DFW to Dublin. We rented a car and drove west to the city of Galway. We stayed 3 nights in a charming Air BnB. While in Galway we made a day trip out to the gorgeous Connemara Park area. This rugged landscape is absolutely breathtaking and one of the highlights of the trip, especially the beautiful Kylemore Abbey grounds. Another day we did a private scone making at a local's kitchen. The scones turned out delicious and our chef instructor had previously owned her own bakery in town for many years. Another highlight of the trip is the ferry out to the Aran Islands, picking up an E-Bike and riding to the cliffs on the edge of the islands. We also visited the Cliffs of Moher, this is a can't miss site.
We then made our way south, playing golf at Ballybunion on our way to the town of Tralee. We explored Dingle Peninsula as well. Ireland is full of amazing scenery, highly recommend.
