For visitors who come to experience all that the Emerald Isle has to offer, possibly no other place in Ireland has as much potential to inspire awe in tourists as the southwest part of Ireland, namely Cork and Kerry. Unspoiled by time and committed in their devotion to the traditions, culture, arts, music and hospitality that this land is famous for, Cork and Kerry cares as much for the tourists that come to see what’s on offer, as for the natives who are proud to be from this part of the beautiful island.

And rest assured, what’s on offer is, quite frankly, a lot! As we will see in the following paragraphs, Cork and Kerry offer the best blend of the things which are synonymous with Ireland for the pure Irish experience. Tours of Cork and Kerry meets everyone’s tastes. Whether it’s a relaxing scenic tour, an activity-filled fun tour, a golf tour, fishing tour or just a visit home for people who have a past with this country, Cork and Kerry provide the authentic taste of traditional Ireland for all people.

TRADITIONS

Ireland’s age old traditions have stood the test of time. They offer a look into the heritage of the country and also, more importantly, they keep the Irish identity strong and vibrant. This is important for every country in the world, as a country’s traditions and history define its people. Easter Sunday, St. Patrick’s day, Halloween, Christmas, and wedding traditions are to name but a few. All with their own charm, character and attraction. In Cork and Kerry is to be found traditional Irish music and dance which can be seen in a huge variety of pubs and hotels on most nights. An experience which must be had by all those who come and visit.

Scenery

The scenery in Cork and Kerry is indeed a thing to behold. Views of the Atlantic coast which are unmatched in all of Ireland. The rich green colour of the land contrasting with the dark rock of the cliffs and brilliant white spray of cascading Atlantic waves is something which will take your breath away. Though, in truth, it doesn’t actually take your breath away, rather fills your lungs with the freshest air you’ll ever have, which invigorates body, spirit and mind. Views from the top of the highest mountain in Ireland, Carrauntoohil, can be experienced for most people who wish to make the trek. A view that is unsurpassed, as it offers panoramic views inland and also over the Atlantic, and beyond. Beautiful sandy beaches that stretch for miles are a familiar sight in Cork and Kerry, as are the lush, green valleys and vast national parks that are to be found.

I have lived in the southwest of Ireland all of my life and I believe it to be the finest example of a traditional Irish area. Please visit www.emeraldtours.ie for further information.
