Graycruise Posted May 17, 2023 #1 Share Posted May 17, 2023 Taking a cruise in October, never been to Ireland before. For the ports mentioned above, would you recommend a guided excursion, or is there enough to see at the port to do this ourselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciadan Posted June 4, 2023 #4 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Can I ask where your ship actually docks? Killybegs and Dingle are at completely opposite ends of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason I asked is because I’m surprised if cruise ships dock at these small ports, so I wanted to double check. Too often I read queries from tourists who don’t understand the distance between places - eg thinking about kissing the Blarney Stone while on a visit to Dublin. Anyway @Graycruise - Dingle is a lovely (small) town, but depending on your time, I would recommend doing a tour of Dingle Peninsula. Likewise with Galway - a lovely small city and very easy to walk around, but if there’s a tour of Connemara/ The Burren available, I’d recommend it. Both Dingle and Galway have lovely traditional bars and restaurants - with most of the bars serving food. I don’t know anything about Foynes, but if there’s time for a tour to the Cliffs of Moher, I’d recommend that. Enjoy!

rtdiva Posted June 21, 2023 #7 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I use YouTube often along with CC to make travel plans. Kellybegs population under 2000 is a deep sea port exporting sea food around the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
