You also visit Doolin Cave, seeing the largest free hanging stalactite in Western Europe, and the 4th largest in the world.
A visit to The Aran Islands is an option, we know everyone is not happy on a sea crossing so it’s an opt-in for one of the otherwise relaxation days.
You will walk over the extensive limestone landscape, these seemingly barren stretches of bare rock are in fact the home of a unique flora. The Burren flora is unrivaled in the world for its diversity and density. You will see Alpine, Mediterranean, Maritime and Arctic flowers all growing side by side. Numerous Orchids are to be found, a large range of butterfly’s fliting around complete the scene.
There are two day hikes* in the tour, One is focused on archaeology and culture, the other is focused on landscape and scenery.

Rock Climbing
Kayaking
Surfing
Caving
Mountain Biking
If you are feeling a little stiff or sore we can set you up for a pre/post activity massage.
You will visit iconic ancient sites and also out of the way less often seen ones, this makes this an insider’s view of The Burren.
