Overview

Welcome to our Northern Gem! We meet in Galway where you gather with your fellow adventurers. Without delay you experience one of Ireland’s natural wonders - Connemara. The contrasting scenery of mountains, lakes and the Atlantic Ocean make Connemara one of the most scenic areas in Ireland. You have two days to explore this area. We then move north along the West coast of Ireland stopping in Sligo before heading for Donegal - home to Ireland’s highest sea cliffs, Slieve League. Donegal is Ireland's hidden gem and personally one of my favourite places. From Donegal you travel into "the Six Counties". You will visit Derry city and walk the walls before visiting Dunluce Castle and the scenic area of Ballintoy. Prepare for fantastic scenery as we hike from Ballintoy to the Giants Causeway. The Giants Causeway is a UNESCO world heritage site made of 40,000 basalt columns formed 60 million years ago. When planning a walking holiday in Ireland, always pick us!
