• Barack Obama Plaza visitor centre - Our first stop on this tour is the oft celebrated Barrack Obama Plaza. Simply put this location is where you will make a short stop for a comfort break and perhaps to grab a quick bite to eat and some snacks for the road!

However this plaza is known as the greatest service station in all of Ireland, we are not bringing you to a plaza; we are bringing you to the plaza.

Built in honour of former US president Barrack Obama as one of his ancestors came from the nearby town of Moneygall.

Recently a new addition was added to the plaza when it was visited by famous talk show host and writer Conan O’Brien who was given the dubious honour of having a new air pump named for him.

Visit the Conan O’Brien Air Pump, get some breakfast and take a picture with a former president and his first lady before hopping back on the bus to continue our journey to the West of Ireland

• Ennistymon - Upon departing Barrack Obama Plaza the coach will drive past the ancient cities of Limerick and Ennis as-well as drive for a brief few moments underneath the widest and longest river in all Ireland; the majestic River Shannon. Shortly after the Shannon we will past by Bunratty Castle and begin to traverse the winding roads of County Clare, home of the Cliffs of Moher.
  Ennistymon is a rite of passage for anyone taking a coach tour to the Cliffs of Moher for it is home to the dreaded ‘Kissing Corner of Ennistymon’ known across the west of Ireland for the difficulty some drivers have with navigating one of the tightest turns in the entire island! With our drivers however you will see what a real professional driver can do as they’ll sail right through no matter the conditions.
  Make sure to hold your breath and don’t forget to applaud your driver when they take you around this turn towards adventure.

• Cliffs of Moher - Here at the Cliffs of Moher you will have the opportunity to stand on the edge of the world. Rising up to a height of 214 meters (702 feet) at their highest point and stretching along the coast for leagues in either direction the views found here cannot be described as small.

You will stare out across the Atlantic Ocean, watch carefully and you will see the abundance of wildlife that fills the air, land and ocean that will surround you from all angles.

Species of whales can be seen breaching the surface aswell as the famous Basking Shark. Some of these animals are seasonal but regardless of the season there is plenty of life at the Cliffs, from Puffins to Porpoises!
Carved out of the landscape over 300 million years ago, you can see the remains of rivers that once flowed out to see in this era high up in the cliff face, a story written in stone of a world long since changed and reshaped by time and tide.

The Cliffs of Moher are a staggering spectacle not easily forgotten.

• Wild Atlantic Way -
  Departing the Cliffs begins our journey along the Wild Atlantic Way proper. We will be journeying along the middle section of the Wild Atlantic Way, a road that runs from the North of Ireland to the very south along the western coastline. It is one of the longest continuous coastal roads in the world! We are going to drive right through the middle of it all the way to Galway through some of the most awe inspiring scenry in all of Ireland.

There is so much to see on this drive you wont believe it until you’re being driven it! From the flowers of the Burren to the abandoned homes left idle since the Great Famine. You will hear and see more than just a few tales, tunes and thrills as the coach works its way down along the coastline that leads into Galway Bay and eventually to the great city of Galway.

• The Burren National Park - The enchanting Burren National Park covers 1500 hectares and offers mesmerizing landscapes with unique karst rocks for stunning photos. Witness sweeping vistas of the Aran Islands and Twelve Bens mountain range. The park’s ecological diversity is astonishing, with Mediterranean, Arctic, and Alpine plants coexisting in harmony, showcasing nature’s adaptability.

With 75% of Ireland’s native flora, it’s a treasure for botanical enthusiasts and boasts intriguing ancient monuments, megalithic tombs, fairy forts, and iconic Celtic crosses, reflecting Ireland’s captivating folklore and cultural legacy.

Explore nature, history, and photography in this extraordinary place that promises an awe-inspiring experience, leaving an indelible imprint on you.

• Dunguaire Castle - Shortly after driving over the border into County Galway we will do a drive-by of the 16th century Dunguaire Castle situated on the edge of the village of Kinvarra. One of the most intact castles of its kind in this part of Ireland. It’s seen everything from the legends of St Colman of Kilmacduagh to the Walt Disney’s movie production company.
  Sitting right be the waterside beyond the village of Kinvarra. Dunguaire Castle holds huge significance in the history of literature here in Ireland having been used by the who’s who of Irish writers from W.B Yeats to J.M Synge.
  This castle is one of the few with its exterior wall still intact. You may even catch a glimpse of a Traditional Galway Hooker in the old fishing harbour waiting to be taken out along Galway Bay to catch some of the fish you may enjoy in Galway City!

• Galway - Galway is known as Ireland’s Cultural Capital and is one of the ancient parts of Ireland having seen human habitation for a long period of time. Its beginnings with small family groups of the Claddagh Fisher-Kings to the rise of the most powerful merchant families in Irish History, there is a richness of history and culture to be found here.
  With the arrival of the Normans, Galway began to become ‘The City of the Tribes’, which it still is to this very day and will welcome you with open arms as it has with people from all over the world for centuries. You will struggle to find a more vibrant and lively city on the entire island.
  Try some of the world famous seafood while enjoying a pint and taking in some traditional Irish music.
