We continued onto Tralee to check all the adventures at Tralee Bay Wetlands. Tralee Bay Wetlands is a watersports & rock climbing centre with a wildlife exhibition and a nature boat trip! So first up was the nature tour of the wetlands. I then faced my fear and tried zorbing for the first time… let’s just say it is the perfect way to tire kids out!! I for one was wrecked after it!! Next up was the climbing wall. I may not have been wearing the most appropriate shoes but I still reached the top!! For more information head over to Traleebaywetlands.org.
We then hit the scenic road to Dingle and the weather changed so we went to explore the Dingle Oceanworld Aquarium which is situated in Dingle town in County Kerry and hosts Ireland’s largest collection of Sharks as well as our Gentoo Penguin display.
