About This Tour
It all began in Foynes. Walk in the Footsteps of Pioneering Aviators & Hollywood Icons in the Birthplace of Irish Coffee! Foynes Flying Boat & Maritime Museum is located on the Wild Atlantic Way just 30 minutes from Limerick city on the banks of the Shannon Estuary.

Walk in the footsteps of JF Kennedy, Bob Hope, Eleanor Roosevelt & many other dignitaries, movie stars & refugees who landed at Foynes. Experience Irish Coffee in the very building it was invented, and taste the original recipe in a quaint 1940’s setting (O'Regan's Restaurant - Irish Coffees sold seperately).
