-Walk in the footsteps of great poets like Yeats through the untamed paths of County Sligo, home of unforgettable literature and landscapes. There you can venture to the isolated Isle of Inishfree and experience the paradox of true tranquility while being surrounded by the raging seas of legend.

-Bike along winding trails through the lush hills of Connemara and experience the ecstasy (and occasional physical agony) of an often unpredictable tour of Ireland's Western Shore. Your days are spent riding past thatched cottages, local pubs, and Gaelic villages while taking in the beauty of the backroads.

-Get closer to heaven when you make a romantic getaway to Wicklow Head, where you can spend the night at the top of a lighthouse. Experience the gentle solitude and surreal bliss of living above the rest of the world.

-Ride a luxury barge along the Shannon River and enjoy exquisite meals as you meander through the many eras of Ireland's past, from prehistoric cities to centuries-old monasteries to current-day small town pubs.
