Day 4
As you reach the midway point of your trip, you return to the Republic of Ireland and The Wild Atlantic Way. Explore the rugged landscape of northwest Ireland where the pace of life is slow and much like it has been for generations. Slow the pace a bit and take in the scenery, stop into one of the many shops selling the famous woolen goods or make your way to the Slieve League Cliffs, the highest in Europe and rival to the more famous Cliffs of Moher further south – we assure a much smaller crowd awaits you along with an equally amazing view.

Departure day today, and if you are flying back to the US from Dublin, you will enjoy the fact that all of the US Boarder, Customs, and Immigration formalities are taken care of before you board your flight, meaning you arrive in the US as a “domestic” passenger enabling a quick connection to your final destination or an even quicker exit from the airport.
