    Keith

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    I love the sound of this tour apart from the biking part, is there any way I can do the tour without that small section?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Absolutely you don't need to partake in the cycle around Inis Oir, however it is a small island 3 x 2 klm. I actually walked it with my two children 2 years ago and its is a lovely walk. There are some lovely places to see if you want to explore such as an old ship wreck and a beautiful sandy beach if you just want to relax and take in the view. There are some nice market stalls selling Aran fudge and nice souvenirs and there is a wonderful seaweed spa if you would like to purchase some gifts.

      Are the accommodations en-suite?

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      Of course that is not problem at all to make that decision on the same day and yeah all the rooms have a lovely en-suite bathroom so happy days.

    Asked on February 4th, 2026

    I am traveling with a friend but we want to book separate rooms. Is that possible for this tour, ensuring we will both be on the same tour bus and booked at same hotels, etc.? If so, what would the cost be per room and how would I go about booking it?

    Accommodation
    Group size
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten February 2026

      We do have some availability on the 27th of September for Ireland to Island tour. The cost is €2195 plus €379 single supplement. The single supp guarantees your private ensuite room for duration of the tour.

  • K

    Kristin

    Asked on July 21st, 2025

    Really want to visit Cong and the Knock Shrine .. can we do this on our own at some point during the tour? If not, any other tours that may work?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten July 2025

      This would depend on what free time is available on each day of the tour, you could maybe skip an activity and make your own arrangements to see these sights, or during an evening of free time you could make arrangements.

  • P

    Philip

    Asked on June 6th, 2025

    How much time would I have on my own? Are the tours/activities all day, every day?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten June 2025

      The days are normally from 09:00 till about 17:00 but in between you have activities, lunch free time and time to explore as well.

  • C

    Christina

    Asked on March 18th, 2025

    I'm interested in this tour solely because of the trips to Aran Islands and Skellig Michael. Please can you advise how much extra these excursions will be

    Price / Availability
    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The trip to Aran Islands is included on this tour. The boat would be €120 per person and is payable on the day in cash to the boat directly.

    • C

      Christina

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      Am I right to assume then that the trip to Skellig Michael is included in the price?

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The Skelligs landing trip is not included in the price. It sometimes gets cancelled due to the weather conditions. The trip is Euro 130 PP and if you look at our other tours this tour is around that cheaper as well.

    Megan

    Asked on March 16th, 2025

    Is it possible to go on our own when we stay in Portmagee that night? If so, could we get a car in Portmagee to make this small excursion?

    Tour Details
    Transport
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      While renting a car for one night might seem difficult, you could indeed get a taxi to and from the dark sky reserve no problem.

  • T

    Tamara

    Asked on March 9th, 2025

    Is the bed larger than a double in the triple room? Is a double the largest bed on the two person room?

    Accommodation
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      For a triple room, it would consist of a double bed along with either a single bed or a rollaway bed in the same room. A double bed is the standard size for two people sharing, but if you'd like more space, we also offer an upgrade to a king or queen-size bed. This would be the largest bed available on our tours.

  • H

    Han

    Asked on January 28th, 2025

    What should I do if I need travel support during the tour?

  • K

    Kathy

    Asked on December 31st, 2024

    Is there anything else you can do on that day instead of the boat trip and narrow walk way up the steps?

    Tour Details
    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The guide can stay behind and explore more parts of the wonderful Ring of Kerry. There is a beautiful easy walk to the light house, Derrynane House and much more. The tour is built in such a way that its suitable for active and people who are less active.

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The ferry ride from Doolin to the Aran Islands is very short, about 20 minutes, and offers stunning views. If sea conditions are rough, we typically cancel the ferry ride for safety. The climb up the steep steps at Skellig Michael is usually a core part of the experience. If you prefer to skip the climb, we can arrange an alternative. You can still enjoy exploring the island from the base, soaking in the views.

    • K

      Kathy

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Can you recommend hotels for the day before the trip and after the trip?

    • Overland - Small Group ToursOperatorWritten January 2025

      The tour leaves from in front of the Ashling Hotel in Dublin. Dublin is relatively compact and you can choose any hotel in the city with a short Euro 10 taxi ride to the departure location. Recommended hotels include The Alex, The Morgan, Castle Hotel, Hilton Gardens.
