Coastal Walks Tours & Trips in Ireland Wild Atlantic Way

Walk parts of Ireland's 2,600 km Wild Atlantic Way through Connemara and the Burren, staying at the Leenane Hotel and Doolin Lodge. Hike beside Killary Harbour—Ireland's only fjord—and wander the moon-like karst landscape of the Burren. There's also time for the rugged trails of Connemara National Park with its mountains and coastline, plus you'll stand atop the Cliffs of Moher and take a boat to Inis Oírr in the Aran Islands on this guided 8-day trip.

You'll hike up Slieve League's dramatic sea cliffs in Donegal, which rise about 600 meters above the Atlantic. Then there's the Giant's Causeway with its 40,000 basalt columns that's a UNESCO site. The coastal path at Killary Harbour takes you along Ireland's only fjord, and you get to see the wild Dingle Peninsula too.

You'll trek the Western Way along coastal cliffs from Oughterard to Leenane, crossing the Mám Éan pass between the Twelve Bens and Maumturk Mountains. The route takes you through the wild Lough Inagh Valley where quartzite peaks rise above marshland, then follows the ancient Pilgrims' Trail to Killary Harbour's shores.

Walk coastal paths from Dingle to Dunquin and you'll see the Blasket Islands rising from the Atlantic. The route winds beneath Mount Brandon's silhouette as you hike from Cuas to Cloghane, passing rugged coastlines and misty mountain views. Cross Maghnabo for great vistas across Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

Walk along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way from Tralee to the windswept village of Dunquin, passing through Ventry Bay with optional bus connections. Wild roses bloom against the deep blue Atlantic, and you'll stand at the edge of the Blasket Islands before climbing Mount Brandon's slopes.

Follow the Wild Atlantic Way through the Burren's coastal scenery from Liscannor to Ballyvaughan, walking past the Cliffs of Moher that plunge into the Atlantic. The marked trails take you through Doolin and along Fanore's windswept shores where water flows through soluble rock creating underground lakes and caves, with 5 days of breakfast included.

Trek the rugged cliffs from Dingle to Dunquin where you'll get great views of the Blasket Islands across the Atlantic. Walk through the old Gaeltacht region near Ballydavid, passing Ogham stones and holy wells that have marked pilgrimage routes for centuries. Check out Ventry Beach's archaeological sites.
