What's this trip about?

    Explore the Southern counties and for many some of the most beautiful and spectacular landscapes in Ireland on our Southern Gem 7 day walking tour.  From the wild beauty of county Wicklow just south of the capital you will experience a monastic site like no other; complete with round tower and church from the 6th century.  From there your tour will take you to one of the most magical places in Ireland, if not the world - the town of Dingle.  Situated on the most south westerly point on the island, it really is a world away from everywhere.

View Profile

Extreme Ireland Adventures offer a variety of walking tours, soft adventure tours, day tours, adventure courses and international adventures.  We are a young company passionate about Ireland and its many secrets.  Just five years ago, we started out with two small mini buses and four people employed.

Now, almost 60 people strong with a proud fleet of 19 coaches, we rest our success on two things:  customer trust in us to deliver the best holiday experience, as well as the ability to have the 'craic' (fun). You're on holidays and you should be laughing and smiling throughout every minute of it, and we know just how to make you do that!

Envision a journey that takes you far from the demands of daily life and into a realm of pure beauty, enveloped in the sights, the sounds, and the scents of the natural world. Places where the spirit soars and the soul regains its balance.

We offer rich vacation experiences designed for inquisitive travellers who want to see the world in a different way. Our unique journeys combine challenge and adventure with the finest creature comforts. At the end of each day, you'll rest at charming, cosy inns and enjoy excellent cuisine shared with good company.
