Ireland has only one fjord and we are heading straight for it – the Killary Fjord. Marvel at the thriving mussel beds and look out towards Mweelrea, the highest mountain range on the west coast of Ireland. Please note that during the high season (April - October) this tour offers a 1.5-hour boat cruise around Killary Harbour. During the low season (November - March) the boat cruise will not run and instead, we will make our way over to the Killary Sheep Farm, a traditional farm that hosts approximately 200 ewes and lambs that roam freely across the fjord. Visitors have the unique opportunity to observe a local farmer performing a sheepdog demonstration.

12:00 PM: KYLEMORE ABBEY

Kylemore Abbey offers us the chance for an incredible photo op; once a prestigious female boarding school, now hosts nuns on retreat from around the globe and tourists from everywhere else!
