Ireland Trekking and Hiking Tours 2024/2025

“We throughly enjoyed the walk, which was tougher than expected. Doing it clockwise means the first two days are the toughest, never easy if your legs are not in great shape from not enough exercise. Most days Are quite long but there is opportunity to take a car ride at times to remove some of the more boring bits. Don't be too proud , and use this service which is provided by the owners of the accommodation. The B&B accommodation was really wonderful. The notes provided by the local provider were not as accurate as those that appear on the website of this tour company, so follow its notes. On the first day, for example, the notes tell you to catch a cab for the first 5 aims . Do it! The bit you miss is not a highlight. This trip also doesn't include a day walk around Black Valley , which we noticed a lot of other groups did do. Consider staying an extra night and adding this on. No extra notes or maps are needed, as it is a day walk from Killarney.”

“Beautiful hiking- particularly the first and last days -moderate difficulty-good idea to take provided car rides, to avoid long road walking - generally very pleasant and comfortable bed and breakfast accommodation. One fording of a fast flowing narrow stream on the last day created a bit of excitement and something to store in the memory bank. Other travellers were helpful in aiding us to decide how to negotiate this obstacle.”

“We had excellent weather in our 5 days of walking on the Wicklow Way. The scenery was outstanding , as were the arrangements put in place by Nathalie Thompson, who was Sherpa's consultant. We stayed in local pubs/hotels rather than B and Bs as we prefer the greater flexibility that such accommodation provides. All the hotels and the travel arrangements involving bag pick ups were great. We have worked with Sherpa Expeditions before and intend working with them again.”
