What is the climate like? During the summer months, the weather in Ireland is mild, with temperatures usually topping out at 65 degrees Fahrenheit in the day, and dropping down to 50 degrees at night.

How strenuous are the activities? While this adventure is not considered physically strenuous, most days will include two or more hours of walking. About half of the walking is in cities and often on uneven cobblestone streets. The other walks feature a combination of country dirt trails, villages, beaches, and castle ruins. While in Killarney National Park, the itinerary includes a gentle bicycle ride with the motor coach available as an alternative. While nearly all of the trip's featured activities are gentle if examined separately, the full range of activities requires a moderate amount of stamina in order to get the most of your vacation.

What ages are appropriate for this adventure? While we welcome children ages 4 and up at the time of travel to discover the stories of the world with us, we recommend that children be at least 6 years old at the time of travel on The Emerald Isle trip. This is based on several factors, such as flight time and jet lag, time zone differences in the destination, duration of the vacation, extended hours of daily activity programming and amount of physical activity (e.g., walking, biking) involved. Because each child is different, call a Concierge Agent to discuss whether this is the right trip for your little ones.
