The experience begins Sunday at your accommodation with an introduction to people and place. Your days are laid out with your activities and down time to enjoy some leisure and relaxation if you wish. You can also opt into some extra activities if relaxing is not on your agenda.

You also visit Doolin Cave, seeing the largest free hanging stalactite in Western Europe, and the 4th largest in the world. A visit to The Aran Islands is an option, we know everyone is not happy on a sea crossing so it’s an opt-in for one of the otherwise relaxation days.

The Burren flora is unrivaled in the world for its diversity and density. You will see Alpine, Mediterranean, Maritime and Arctic flowers all growing side by side. Numerous Orchids are to be found, a large range of butterfly’s fliting around complete the scene.
