Incentive
From medieval banquets to ‘Dragon’s Den’-style challenges, or dolphin watching to Irish dancing lessons, that extra touch will give your delegates an experience they’ll be talking about for years.
Explore places untouched and undiscovered by commercial tourism with private day-tour experiences from Secret Ireland. Travel through the ages to experience art, architecture, heritage and culture from the 16th-century medieval era to 21st-century modern times. Then round off your trip in style with a locally produced food and drink tasting session.
Can you Keep a Secret?
Fired with enthusiasm
The ‘Apprentice’ challenge is by no means a standard team-building exercise. This exciting challenge ends with a full open review of each team’s performance. Just like the TV show that inspired it, our judges will decide who wins and who loses – or should that be, who gets “fired”.
Using vintage cars, have a fun “adventure in time”. Take a trip back to the days of medieval castles, ancient burial sites, monasteries, high crosses, re-created 19th century villages, folk parks and …even mythical Irish creatures. An exciting outdoor team activity with a difference.
Back to the Future
Crack the code
The DaVinci Code challenge will take your team through the historic and religious sites of your location of choice in The Shannon Region on your Quest for the Holy Grail. Based on the bestselling book and hit movie, this is a very unusual and fantastic event for any group.
Dragon’s Den – Irish Style takes its cue from the BBC hit show where your team becomes entrepreneurs for an afternoon. Your team’s challenge is to develop a business concept that will face the scrutiny of our experienced panel of local business leaders. Will your team’s project convince the judges to invest?
Enter the Dragon
A Royal Occasion
Relive the experience of a medieval banquet or take in the sights of an Irish night in a regal setting. Choose from three fantastic Irish venues: Bunratty Castle, Knappogue Castle, or the corn barn in Bunratty folk park.
It’s said that Irish wakes were far merrier than weddings: this hilarious theme night for teams takes a backward glance at a rural wake with a difference. Your guests could find themselves embroiled in a legal battle over land, answering the prayers of the dead and mingling all with sorts of intriguing characters!
Die Laughing
Let’s Dance
An interactive session which introduces your team to Irish music and dance. It’s a crash course in Irish dance, song, bodhran, hand drums, spoons and side drums. An instructor then forms a group which would include using Irish musical percussion instruments to play and traditional dancing with some singing as well.
Take your team and a boat to meet the Shannon Dolphins, A unique Shannon Region experience. Ireland’s only resident group of bottlenose dolphins live in the Shannon Estuary. There are over 100 of these magnificent mammals and they can be observed, on most days, feeding, travelling or playing in the Shannon Estuary.
Find your Porpoise
Explore a Burren Landscape
The geology, flora, caves, archaeology and history of the Burren in county Clare set it apart as a place of great mystery and beauty – ideal for incentive travel. In a small 100 square mile area, there are majestic rivers, brooding castles, tranquil lakes, towering cliffs, lush valleys, barren rock mountains, rare plants, green walks – and everywhere relics of ancient civilisation.
Stretching for 8 kilometres and standing 214 meters above the mighty Atlantic ocean, the awesome Cliffs of Moher are Ireland’s top scenic visitor attraction and an incredible experience. The Cliffs are open all year round. O’Brien’s Tower, located on the highest cliff, is an exceptional viewing point. Spectacular vistas your delegates will never forget.

We received countless comments about how much the attendees enjoyed their overall experience in Limerick and how welcoming and hospitable all of the locals were. We were truly grateful to have the chance to hold IEEE Conferences in Limerick and we will advocate for other groups we work with to bring their conferences to Limerick in the future.
