Irish Ferries
Irish Ferries - The Official Web Site of Ireland's leading ferry company operating ferries between Ireland and Britain and a car ferry between Ireland and France.
     
You might remember the last Ryder Cup (the Yanks are trying not to). Bring your clubs in the car and play the course at the K Club in Kildare or try our top recommendation The Old Head of Kinsale one of the
most stunning golf locations in the world.

Rise above it all at the Kilkenny Hot Air Balloon Festival. You’re certain to get the best views and from up there if you look really hard you might see Laytown, home of the only officially approved beach horse racing in Europe.

If you still look good in a wet suit our surfing dudes highly recommend the waves in Donegal they are very “gnarly”... this is good apparently!

And if you thought whales just swim around all day eating plankton you will discover how impressive they really can be at the Cape Clear Whale Watch off the coast of Cork.
