About This Tour

Seven days on Ireland’s west coast with a maximum of 16 fellow travellers and an expert local guide who knows every back road, every pub session and every hidden viewpoint. This is not a coach tour where you are herded from one photo stop to the next. This is an immersive, personal journey through the landscapes, music and culture of the Wild Atlantic Way.

You will stay in three of Ireland’s most characterful towns. Galway, with its buskers, oyster bars and infectious energy. Dingle, a colourful harbour town where Irish is still spoken in the surrounding hills. And Killarney, gateway to some of the most beautiful lake and mountain scenery in the country. Each evening brings music-filled pubs where you will meet locals, hear stories and maybe even learn a song or two.

The days are packed with highlights. The Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, the Ring of Kerry, the Dingle Peninsula. But it is the unexpected moments that stay with you longest. Meeting the Irish Wolfhounds, stumbling into a spontaneous trad session, watching the light change over the Atlantic. With all breakfasts, entrances and activities included, you just need to show up and let the west of Ireland work its magic.
