Travel with Sandi:
Northern Ireland & Beyond
September 4 - 13, 2025 | Maximum Group Size: 15 Participants | Availability: Open
Ireland is an almost mythic land, steeped in lyrical folk songs, romantic poetry, turbulent history, and rolling green fields that seem to stretch endlessly. It’s a place as beautiful as it is proud, where ancient traditions blend with modern life. The country’s religious landscape, shaped by centuries of struggle and resilience, remains both divided and hopeful, reflecting a spirit that is uniquely Irish.
Join Discover Europe and Sandi Tinyk for an in-depth, 10 day exploration of Northern Ireland & Beyond. From the pre-Celtic hill forts punctuating the island to her dramatic seascapes and fabulous formal gardens, Ireland is a land of gracious discoveries. Our itinerary offers an introduction to Ireland for travellers who want to see beyond the tourist façade and explore the epic history of this small island.
We begin on the West Coast, in County Clare, as we discover the extraordinary flora of The Burren, a unique landscape of geological wonder, and visit the dramatic Cliffs of Moher. We continue northeast through the legendary beauty of Connemara and take a day trip out to the Aran Islands, used as a backdrop for many wonderful Irish films.
We’ll pause at the grave of W. B. Yeats, in the shadow of Benbulben Mountain, and explore “Yeats Country” from our hotel in Sligo and then cross the border into Northern Ireland. We’ll stand in awe at the Giant’s Causeway on the north coast. The “troubles” in Ulster that, for a time, eclipsed the realities of her warm and welcoming people, dramatic Gaelic history and spectacular countryside, are thankfully now a thing of the past. This September, join us on an adventure to Northern Ireland & Beyond.
