FAQs

Yes we do. We can create bespoke hiking and walking experiences tailored to individual requirements, interests and schedules. Examples of specialist interests could include classic walking routes along the Wild Atlantic Way, romantic sunset hikes, walking routes rich in cultural heritage and photography opportunities, bog or peatland safari hikes, etc. We will select the best walking routes to make your hike one you will never forget.

For all hikes: Waterproof coat and trousers, hat, and gloves, walking boots, lunch/snacks and lots to drink (2L), warm clothing, sun protection, face mask and hand sanitiser and a rucksack to carry it all in. For our short walks: Comfortable shoes, a waterproof coat, a warm layer and sun protection. Don’t forget your camera!

All our walks and hikes carry the Failte Ireland Covid-19 Safety Charter and on walking routes there is plenty of room to social distance. We also ask all our hikers to comply with Covid-19 Irish Government guidelines which may be subject to change. Your guide will carry sanitizer and face masks. Please cancel your walk or hike if you have Covid-related symptoms or have been in close contact with a Covid sufferer in the last 10 days.

Each season in Ireland has its own unique charm. While summer may be peak season, hiking and walking in the autumn and winter months can be very peaceful and you will have the place to yourself. The weather can also be mild and the winter light gorgeous. Spring brings rebirth and renewal. Lambing season is in full swing and nature is waking-up, a truly beautiful time of the year. So whatever the season, the best time to come to Ireland is now, so get booking.

Here in Ireland we are obsessed with the weather and talking about it is a bit of a national past time. Usually mild and temperate, Irish weather can best be described as changeable with four seasons in one day possible. So, if you don’t like the weather, wait for a bit and it’s bound to change. Winter snowfall is possible but rare. Rain showers can happen any time which is why we have 40 shades of green and lots of rainbows. The weather in Ireland is part of the Wild Atlantic Way experience and as they say, there is no such thing as bad weather just bad clothing. So come prepared, dress in layers and don’t forget your waterproofs.

We always advise you to take out travel insurance. Please ensure your policy also provides cover for off the beaten track walking and hiking in Ireland.
