Southwest Ireland

Summer term only

Students may participate in an optional three-day tour of some of Ireland's most beautiful and historic counties. The tour is designed to immerse students in the region’s rich historical and cultural heritage, while also including a visit to the iconic Cliffs of Moher and several sites within the world-famous Ring of Kerry.

*This tour involves walking in hilly urban and natural landscapes (approx. 1-2 miles at a time) and through historical buildings with narrow passageways; you should expect to walk on uneven surfaces for extended periods of time. The tour also includes a boat ride where students will be expected to wear life jackets.
