To give you a run-down of all the tours, basically we can split the trips into three main types
• 6, 7 and 8 days in Southwest and Western Ireland; These awesome adventures first head down to the South-West of Ireland to cover the Cork and Kerry areas and the Dingle, Beara and Iveragh peninsulas. It it a part of Ireland that typifies the friendliness, welcome, scenery and history that make Ireland such a great place to visit (and live). Two nights of each tour are spent in the vibrant town of Dingle, so we will have plenty of time to explore the region, do some great activities, meet the locals and just relax and enjoy the atmosphere. And then the 7 and 8 day tours also then heads north to cover the western areas. Both go as far North as Galway city, via the River Shannon, Cliffs of Moher, County Clare and the Burren and while the folks on the seven day trip head home from Galway on the train, the eight day tour offers the chance to cross Galway bay, stopping at the Aran Islands on the way and spending the last night in the wild and rugged Connemara region.
• 5 and 7 day Northern, Northwest and Western Ireland: Plus of course our ‘Northern Island’ tour for five days which includes Northern Ireland and the North West; this is also a superb trip and possibly our most off-the-beaten track tour. The scenery is just as good as the south and west, there are some fantastic walks and activity options and also there is the fascinating history and politics stretching from pre-historic times right up to the modern day.
• 12 day Giant Irish Adventure: An amazing expedition that covers the north, northwest, west and southwest of Ireland by combining our 5 day NI and 8 day southern trip to create en experience that shows visitors more of Ireland than most Irish people would see in a lifetime.
It’s a great little trip to the west of Ireland, spend three action packed days exploring some of Ireland's favourite areas. For those on a tighter budget of schedule, this trip is a refreshing way to spend a weekend amongst great Irish scenery and rich local culture.
Highlights include
The price is reduced from E469 per person to E235 per person (based on two or more sharing a room. Single supplement of E45 applies to single rooms)

Our new Driftwood Journeys of Discovery and up and running. These new tours offer a less active alternative to people attracted to the small-group, off the beaten track format of Vagabond Tours. Instead of the 4x4 tour vehicles, Driftwood passengers travel in a more conventional touring minicoach and although the itineraries are similar to the Vagabond adventures, there will be more sedate and accessible visits to historical sites, and more shopping and free time. The Driftwood website can be found at:
We all like a bit of special treatment, and so now on all Vagabond 7 and 11 day tours we are delighted to offer our passengers access to one of Ireland’s finest Spa’s at the Falls Hotel, Ennistymon – which in 2011 we have added to the tours as our overnight stop in County Clare.
The Spa contains 12 treatment rooms including a thermal suite, relaxation room, hydrobath and Rasul Mud Treatment Room. Four of the 12 treatment rooms are delicately incorporated into an old stable building, which was constructed in 1720.
Guests also have full access to the Hotel Aqua and Fitness club which boasts a 20-metre deck level swimming pool (swimming cap required), Jacuzzi, steam room, hydro therapy pool, children's pool, a sauna and outdoor hot tub overlooking the River Inagh – it’s a stunning facility.
For the really active there is also the gymnasium which has computerised treadmills, strength training machines, computerised cycles, dumbells/barbells, computerised steppers, abdominal units, individual cardio TV and heart rate monitors.
Needless to say our driver-guides are very excited about staying there too!
