One may not truly understand the awesome power of Mother Nature’s beauty until you have visited Connemara in northwestern Dublin. With a countryside that will knock your socks off with the sheer beauty of the peninsula, a plethora of gorgeous flora, and remarkable landscape and coastal view, Connemara is a hiker's dream.
Immerse yourself in the land by taking up on of the area's offered activities, including kayaking, gorge walking or even rock climbing. There are also places that offer scuba diving, the perfect way to explore this coastal paradise.
While there, make sure to visit Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Garden, man's answer and contribution to this the area's sheer beauty. Situated waterside and along a hill, the castle's garden is the gem, with more than 6 acres of manicured terrain that includes banana trees, vines, and various herbs and flowers, all displayed with a thoughtful and wonderful symmetry.

This tour was fabulous. Our tour guide was patient, knowledgable, friendly and made our day tour interesting and fun. He was helpful and was happy to do anything he could to make our day an enjoyable one. This tour showed us some spectacular sights in Ireland and no visit to Dublin would be complete without seeing this lovely area of Ireland. I highly recommend this tour to everyone. Thanks for a wonderful day.

I was afraid the day might get too long, but it wasn't bad at all with the new motorway heading across to Galway. Connemara is a wonderful, rugged part of Ireland, and no trip to the Emerald Isle would be complete without visiting the west. We had dreadful weather, but still a fun time. You will, of course, be in the bus for a great deal of the time, but it was broken up by fairly frequent stops. We had nearly two hours at Kylemore Abbey and a full hour in Galway to explore. And our driver, Bud, was very friendly and fun.

This was a really excellent day . Very professionally managed. Our guide, Jeff, was very well informed and his enthusiasm for both Powerscourt and Glendalough infused the group. On a fairly cool and windy day the entire participants climbed the trail at Glendalough for the amazing view. We traveled in what seemed to be a very new Mercedes bus. Very comfortable.
