Ireland: Walking, Hiking, Trekking and Island Hopping Tours.

Ireland: walking, hiking and trekking tours in Connemara. We provide island hopping tours of the west coast of Ireland. 5 or 7 day tours are available through some of the most breathtaking scenery.

Cycling Safaris

Connemara is ideal cycling country where roads go around the hills rather than over them. The scenery changes from dramatic mountain ranges and fiords to sweeping open bogland and a rocky fractal coastline.
