Ireland Tours and Trips

Fresh ocean air, rolling green hills, and solitary back roads; our 8-day cycling tour of Ireland is unforgettable. Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way has all the ingredients for a perfect cycling tour. Magnificent coastal scenery, fascinating local history and bustling villages rise up to greet us with each bend in the road. Our trip highlights the diversity of the west coast. We stop in lively pubs to listen to live music, experience stretches of rocky landscape at the Cliffs of Moher and marvel at impressive monuments to Ireland's illustrious past. Our journey begins on the magnificent plateau of The Burren and onward to the legendary Cliffs of Moher. On the Aran Islands, where Irish Gaelic is spoken daily, ancient Celtic stone forts and early Christian churches stand in isolated grandeur. Wild rivers, clear lakes and heather-covered mountains bring a striking change of scenery as we pedal our way through Connemara. Celebrate the day's ride with pints of Guinness and traditional Irish merriment. We bid farewell to our newfound friends and newly-discovered country along the narrow, cobblestone streets of bohemian Galway.

Explore spectacular coastlines dotted with ancient ruins and rolling green hills during this 10-day journey from the Irish Sea to the Atlantic Ocean. Experience the history and scenery of the Emerald Isle, beginning in vibrant Dublin. We hike from the peaks of the Wicklow Mountains to the iconic Cliffs of Moher, with interludes at medieval castles and monasteries. Share good conversation and cold Irish beer in local pubs along the way. After we experience the rugged grandeur of the Beara Peninsula in County Cork, the natural wonders of Killarney National Park await. Walk through old oak forests, past idyllic Irish farmsteads and into remote mountain valleys. Explore coastal footpaths and castle ruins on our way to the Dingle Peninsula. When we arrive, revel in music and merriment at this epicenter of Gaelic culture. Our adventure concludes in Ennis, a market town steeped in medieval heritage and renowned for its traditional music scene and festive atmosphere.
