Meet Your Host Country: Ireland

Ireland is known for its wide expanses of lush, green fields. In fact, its nickname is the Emerald Isle. But there are also large areas of rugged, rocky landscape, beautiful, sandy beaches and the iconic sheer cliffs that Ireland has become known for.

Ireland is a nation of storytellers. The tradition dates back to Celtic bards, who would record and recite the country's history. We'll bring you into that history as we visit fishing villages, abbeys, and estates with strong ties to their cultural roots.

Wild Atlantic Way

The Wild Atlantic Way is a 1,500 mile coastal trail on the west coast of Ireland. It has been memorialized by artists and poets for its picturesque landscape.


We'll spend some time along this trail and see how Wild Atlantic Way earned its name.

A True Taste of Ireland

We can't talk about about Ireland without mentioning it's storied pub culture - full of lively music and flowing spirits.


We'll get a taste of this part of life through whiskey tastings, learned dances, and more.

From Dublin to Galway

Though the wild coasts call to us, there is rich history to be found in the country's city centers, as well. You'll get a chance to explore Galway on this trip. Learn about the history that shaped Ireland, explore the modern bohemian storefronts, or raise a glass in one of its many pubs!
