WHY OVERLAND, GET OFF THE BEATEN PATH 🧭

Most tours take you to the same familiar stops. We don’t.

Overland is built around the Ireland that sits just beyond the obvious, winding coastal roads where traffic disappears, quiet valleys between headline sights, and hidden viewpoints you would never find without local knowledge.

This is Ireland without crowds, without rushing, and without compromise.

Just raw landscapes, real places, and the freedom to actually experience them.

Puffin season is one of Ireland’s most unforgettable experiences 🐦🌊

Every year, the Skellig Islands come alive as thousands of puffins return to nest along the dramatic cliffs of Skellig Michael. Set against the wild Atlantic Ocean and the ancient monastic site perched high above the sea, it is one of the most remarkable natural spectacles Ireland has to offer.

For travellers visiting during breeding season, this is a rare chance to witness these iconic seabirds in their natural habitat while exploring one of Ireland’s most extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

You can experience this incredible journey on our Ireland to Island Tour, where, weather permitting, guests travel to Skellig Michael for a truly once in a lifetime adventure. From climbing the ancient stone steps to watching puffins dart across the island cliffs, it is an experience that stays with you long after you leave.

If seeing the Skellig puffins is on your Ireland bucket list, this is the tour for you.
