The birthplace of Samhain ( Halloween ) . Feel a wisp of cool air as your ancestors pass as close as they can. Samhain, when the veil between our world and the next life is at it's thinnest. What better place to celebrate than Ireland?

Killarney - Dingle - Killarney After breakfast we depart Killarney for the Dingle Peninsula. The journey begins with some of the most magnificent scenery in all of Ireland. The little town of Dingle is straight out of a story book. The fishing boats in the harbor and tiny brightly painted pubs portray a time that has continued to stand still. The population of 1500 people and only 52 pubs are ready to welcome you this afternoon. Worth the wait is the native seafood chowder served up at lunch time with freshly baked brown bread. We continue to Slea Head. Along the way, we will see beehive-style huts, originally inhabited by 12th century monks, which overlook the rugged Blasket Islands. The awe-inspiring beauty of this area is unmatched. There is no other landscape in Western Europe with the density and variety of archaeological monuments as found on the Dingle Peninsula. This magical night we participate in the grand festivities of Hallowe'en. This is also known as Samhain, the ancient Gaelic festival marking the end of the harvest season. Since it is considered by many to be the Celtic New Year, it is sure to be an evening full of celebration! Overnight at the Killarney International Hotel
