But with nearly 2,000 miles 02 of coastline, rivers, and lakes, the island nation is also awash in blue. Rounding out all that 03 unspoiled nature are ancient castles, historic villages, and pubs alive with traditional music. For 04 1,600 miles along the western coast, the Wild Atlantic Way driving route winds past prehistoric 05 sites, lighthouses, and coves. The Dingle Peninsula section is one of the best places to soak up 06 the area’s rugged beauty, particularly from the water. Group inflatable tours offer up-close looks 07 at marine wildlife near the Blasket Islands, an archipelago uninhabited since 1953 and known for 08 its soaring “Cathedral Rocks.” 09 While on the shore, learn about Irish history through seaweed! The southwest’s rocky coves 10 are rich with seaweed, revealing a little-known piece of Irish history. “In Lent, when people 11 couldn’t eat meat, they would go down around these shores and get laver*, as it’s high in 12 protein”, says Kerryann O’Farrell of Atlantic Irish Seaweed, whose guides lead educational sea 13 vegetable walks at Derrynane Harbour. In County Kerry, Sneem Seaweed Baths encourage the 14 marine plants’ purported therapeutic benefits through heated soaks in a wooden whiskey barrel 15 overlooking Kenmare Bay. 16 After that, it’s time to sip real Irish whiskey. In the 1800s, Dublin led the world in producing 17 the “water of life”, or “uisce beatha” in Irish. A recent revival has brought five new distilleries to 18 the city, among them Roe and Co., where the flavors experience lets visitors sample different 19 whiskeys, learn how it’s made, and try their hand at mixing cocktails. At the Irish Whiskey 20 Museum, learn about the spirit’s history, then head over to the Whiskey Palace, located inside 21 Palace Bar. Opened in 1823, the Fleet Street institution was a favorite of writers like Flann 22 O’Brien. Today, it pours more than 400 whiskeys, including its own label. 23 Another interesting tour is to travel along the River Suir. The 33-mile route is one of 24 Ireland’s three accredited blueways, which are trails dedicated to exploring water routes. You 25 can join a tour and float past castles and under stone bridges from Cahir to Carrick-on-Suir. 26 Alternatively, the restored 13-mile riverbank towpath stretches from Clonmel to Carrick-on-Suir, 27 passing fishing huts, wildflower-filled banks, and the apple orchards of Bulmers Cider. You can 28 also float under the stars on a night kayak paddle: there are plenty of prime kayak spots in 29 Ireland, but a nighttime paddle can open up nature in unique ways, says Jim Kennedy, a guide 30 who takes small groups into the sheltered waters of Castlehaven Bay in County Cork. There, 31 kayakers turn off flashlights and stargaze on clear nights or sometimes experience the bay’s 32 bioluminescence. *laver: a type of seaweed / seaweed: alga marinha (Available at: www.nationalgeographic.com/travel/article/10-best-things-to-do-ireland – text specially adapted for this test).
