Today wrapped up our comprehensive journey through Ireland with a visit to Belfast, a city rich in history, resilience, and culture.

One of the highlights was visiting Titanic Belfast, located on the very site where the Titanic was designed and built by Harland & Wolff. The interactive exhibits bring to life not only the story of the famous ship but also Belfast’s remarkable industrial heritage.

We also visited the Peace Wall and neighborhoods that were once at the center of “The Troubles,” the decades-long conflict that shaped much of Northern Ireland’s modern history. Today, these areas stand as symbols of reconciliation, peace, and hope for future generations.

The afternoon included a visit to Royal Belfast Golf Club, one of Ireland’s historic golf courses, offering beautiful views across Belfast Lough and a memorable experience for golf enthusiasts.

As this Ireland journey comes to a close, I’m reminded once again that there is no single “perfect” way to experience a destination. Some travelers want to see as much as possible, while others prefer slower-paced itineraries with deeper local connections. That’s why understanding a client’s travel style is one of the most important parts of my planning process.

This tour provided an excellent overview of Ireland’s landscapes, history, culture, and people. From dramatic coastlines and charming villages to lively pubs and fascinating historical sites, Ireland offers something for every type of traveler.

And perhaps the greatest takeaway of all? The warmth and kindness of the Irish people.

Today’s journey through Northern Ireland was packed with iconic scenery and a little Hollywood magic.

Our first stop was Magheracross Viewpoint along the Causeway Coastal Route, where on a clear day you can see Scotland across the sea. From here, visitors can also spot the ruins of Dunluce Castle, dramatically perched on the edge of the cliffs. The castle served as inspiration for House Greyjoy’s Pyke Castle in Game of Thrones, making it a favorite stop for fans of the series.

Next came the world-famous Giant’s Causeway, Northern Ireland’s only UNESCO World Heritage Site. This remarkable landscape is made up of approximately 40,000 interlocking basalt columns formed by volcanic activity around 60 million years ago. Of course, the local legend is much more entertaining: giant Finn McCool supposedly built the causeway so he could walk across the sea to Scotland!

Whether you’re drawn by history, geology, photography, or a love of film locations, this corner of Ireland delivers unforgettable views at every turn.

Are those cows ?!? On a beach 😳

06/20/2026

Only in Ireland… ☘️🐄

Just when I thought I’d seen everything, we rounded a bend in Sligo and found a herd of cows… relaxing on the beach!

Not near the beach. Not walking to the beach.

Actually ON the beach. 😂

As someone who owns a horse farm, I’m used to seeing livestock in unusual places, but cows sunbathing beside the Atlantic Ocean was definitely a first for me.

One of the things I love most about Ireland is that around every corner there’s something unexpected waiting to make you smile. Sometimes it’s a breathtaking landscape, sometimes it’s a charming village, and sometimes it’s a group of cows apparently enjoying their seaside vacation.

Needless to say, the cows seemed completely unbothered by the tourists taking photos. They were clearly living their best lives. 🐄🌊

One of the things I love most about travel is finding experiences that allow you to connect with a destination beyond the typical tourist attractions.

Today we visited Rathbaun Farm in Ireland for a truly authentic local experience. We watched Bailey, a highly skilled sheepdog, demonstrate traditional sheep herding techniques, met adorable baby lambs, explored charming thatched-roof farm buildings, and learned about rural Irish life firsthand.

The experience was made even more special when we stepped into the farmhouse and were greeted by the warmth and aroma of a traditional turf fire burning in the hearth. We wrapped up our visit with tea and homemade scones while listening to stories about life on the farm.

These are the kinds of experiences that transform a vacation into a meaningful journey—meeting local people, learning traditions, and creating memories you simply can’t get from a guidebook.

As the travel advisor who actually travels, I’m always looking for unique experiences like this to share with my clients.

Another unforgettable day exploring Ireland! ☘️

This morning we departed Killarney in the rain, but thankfully Mother Nature has been very kind to us overall on this trip. Along the way we passed through the charming town of Listowel, known as Ireland’s “Town of Writers,” before boarding a ferry across the Shannon River.

Our main stop today was the Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s most iconic natural wonders. The weather wasn’t exactly cooperating, but honestly, the mist rolling over the cliffs added to the dramatic beauty. Sometimes Ireland’s famous weather is part of the experience!

Tonight we’re staying in the lovely town of Ennis, which has quickly become one of my favorite discoveries. The streets are lined with charming boutiques, colorful storefronts, and cozy pubs. For travelers looking for a smaller, authentic Irish town experience, Ennis deserves a spot on the list.

One of the best parts of traveling is finding places you never expected to love, and Ennis is definitely one of those places.

As always, I’m taking notes, gathering ideas, and discovering hidden gems so I can give my clients firsthand advice when planning their own Irish adventures.
