The first part of our adventure we travel to the lovely little village of Cong situated in County Mayo, where the movie “The Quiet Man” which was filmed in 1951 but released in 1952 was filmed. Jump into the shoes of John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara as you explore this tiny village. Also conveniently located a short walk is the enchanting Ashford Castle, where many famous people celebrate their marriage there and it’s the home to the oldest school of falconry in Ireland. Your trusty tour guide will advise to have lunch here, and also recommend where to go.

Back in our luxury vehicle our 1st day of tour takes us to just outside Leenane. If at all possible, on a trip to Ireland or Scotland one of the must do things is attend a sheep dog trial. On arrival you will be greeted and brought in to watch the combined skills of trainers and sheepdogs and what many years of training has accomplished. You will be amazed at this show in such an amazing setting.

As if this was not enough, you will be now whisked down a scenic 10 minute drive to Killary harbour where you will be left in the ever so responsible hands of the family run company to take you on a boat tour of Irelands only fjord. Take in the panoramic views, spot the mussel and salmon farms maybe if you are lucky will even come across a dolphin or two! If you think the fjord looks hugely impressive on land, wait until you are on the water as it gives you a totally different perspective.
