Your vacation stories will never be dull after Vagabond Adventure’s Kerry Uncorked expedition. Specialists in small group travel, Vagabond Adventures offers an itinerary in Ireland that includes kayaking in Cork’s coves, foraging for food in the wild, the choice of watching or participating in a training session with a local sport team, and becoming a shepherd for a day on a hill farm.

Some of the other activities rounding out the itinerary are playing golf with locals on a seaside course located in the Dingle Peninsula, a cooking demonstration featuring traditional Irish recipes, and meeting with local food producers and craftsmen at their farms and in their studios. Seven nights’ accommodations range from shoreline glamping in safari tents to nights in Bantry House, Emlagh Lodge and Blue Haven Hotel. Rates begin at $1,975 per person, based on double occupancy and including breakfasts.
