Step inside aviation's golden age at the world's only Flying Boat & Maritime Museum — right in the port. Then taste the very first Irish Coffee, invented here in 1943, made to the original recipe.
Ride shotgun in a vintage Royal Enfield sidecar along the wild Shannon Estuary — a cinematic, wind-in-your-hair way to take in the landscapes of County Limerick that no coach tour can replicate.
A chauffeured private tour delivers you to Ireland's most dramatic coastline — 214-metre sea cliffs plunging into the Atlantic — plus the otherworldly limestone karst of The Burren, all at your own pace.
