Touring Ireland
We can manage couples, group trips or tailor an itinerary to suit you and your needs.
Daily Distances
Day 1
Arrive in Dublin Airport, you will be met by the group leader and driven through Dublin to your hotel. After a short break to freshen up you will head south towards Glendalough deep in the Wicklow mountains. You will stop for some lunch before exploring the monastic site, lakes and hiking for 2/3 hours around these stunning mountains. Getting some exercise will help you adjust to the time change. After an active and enjoyable afternoon we will head to dinner at Johnny Fox’s Pub (the highest Pub in Ireland). Return to Dublin for the night.
Day 2
Wake for breakfast in the hotel and then take a short walking tour of Dublin. We will see Trinity College, Grafton Street, and Temple Bar for a pint of Guinness! After lunch, we will drive to Westport, which is a 3-4 hour drive. We will check in to our hotel before walking through this cute town on the West of Ireland and having dinner. Alternatively we can continue to the remote Achill Island. A raw and rugged Island full of stunning hills, beaches and tranquility.
Day 3
You will wake for an early breakfast before heading surfing, hiking or to climb Ireland’s Holy Mountain, Croagh Patrick (2,510ft). This should take us approximately 3 hours to climb. After the climb, we will drive through the stunning landscapes of Connemara to Galway City for the night.
Day 4
We will have breakfast at the hotel at 7am. We will drive through the Burren, visit Lahinch, the Cliffs of Moher, we will walk along the cliffs for approximately one hour and enjoy the beautiful views across the Atlantic Ocean. before arriving in the quaint village of Doolin, where we will stay for the night. Doolin is a beautiful coastal town where we can hopefully catch some traditional music in one of the pubs before heading to bed!

The hike could take anywhere from 5-6 hours roundtrip, and will be a grueling, but rewarding journey! After the hike, we will make four hour drive back to Dubiln, where we will spend our last night!
