Kilrush and Kilkee Day Tour: Gardens, Dolphins & Alpacas on the Wild Atlantic Way
Join us for an unforgettable Kilrush and Kilkee day tour, where nature, wildlife, and local charm come together on Ireland’s spectacular west coast. From tranquil gardens to playful dolphins and friendly alpacas, this full-day experience showcases the very best of County Clare.
Your Kilrush and Kilkee day tour begins in the historic town of Kilrush at the beautiful Vandeleur Walled Gardens. Nestled within 400 acres of native woodland, these lovingly restored gardens are a peaceful oasis of vibrant blooms, rare plants, and winding paths.
Relax with a coffee or snack at the charming on-site café before setting off for the next leg of your adventure.
Next, your journey takes you to the stunning Shannon Estuary, where the River Shannon flows into the Atlantic Ocean. This is one of the few places in Europe where you can spot a resident pod of bottlenose dolphins in the wild—an awe-inspiring highlight of any visit to the Irish coast.
Keep your eyes peeled and your camera ready. Dolphin sightings here are frequent and always magical.
In the afternoon, we visit The Flying Alpaca, a charming alpaca farm just outside Kilrush. This hands-on experience lets you meet these gentle animals up close, take them for a walk, and learn how their ultra-soft wool is produced through sustainable farming.
This part of the Kilrush and Kilkee day tour is always a hit with families and animal lovers.
Your day concludes in the picturesque holiday town of Kilkee, a much-loved destination on the Wild Atlantic Way. Enjoy free time to stroll the promenade, browse local craft shops, or relax with a delicious lunch by the sea.
It’s the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring the natural and cultural treasures of West Clare.
Don’t miss this chance to explore the hidden gems of County Clare on an expertly curated day trip.
