We’ve had a fresh coat of paint and updated our branding to better connect with the story of where we come from. Same team, same outstanding experiences, same deep love for the quiet corners of Ireland, but now with a new colour palette.

Shamrock, seamróg in Irish, was an obvious choice as Ireland’s vibrant national plant.

Symbolising Saint Patrick’s teachings, it also represents to us the joy of a crisp morning on the trail, the laughter in a pub snug, and the spontaneous moments that turn a trip into a lifelong memory.

Long before modern calendar dates, the Irish marked the end of the harvest with Samhain (pronounced Sow-in). It was a time when the harvest was gathered, the turf fires were lit, and the veil between worlds grew thin.

When you explore Ireland in autumn, you’re experiencing the country at a pivotal time. The trails quieten, the hills glow in deep shades of gold and copper, and tables are filled with hearty local fare.

Ireland feels magical all year round, but nothing quite compares to the country in autumn.

Autumn's creeping in across Ireland, and honestly, it's gorgeous.

The light goes gold, the air turns sharp, and the whole country starts to slow down.

Who else is ready for it?

You might notice that things look a little different here at Wilderness Ireland. We’re stepping into a fresh new look, but don’t worry, we’re the same team you know and trust.

Drawing inspiration for our updated colour palette from the native textures and quiet beauty that surrounds us, one of our new colours is yew, iúr in Irish.

Named after the ancient trees that have guarded Ireland’s hidden glens for centuries, yew represents deep roots, endurance and the timeless green of the valleys we love to explore.

There’s something about setting foot in Ireland for the first time that visitors often say feels like a homecoming.

With the Irish diaspora spread across the world, perhaps it is no surprise that so many feel a sense of connection to the Emerald Isle through heritage and traditions.

If your idea of a cycling tour includes dodging heavy traffic along major roads, let us put your mind at ease.

We design our routes using first-hand experience, opting for bóithríns (little roads) and quiet country lanes.

So you can expect space to stop and photograph that view, or the tranquillity to enjoy the landscape opening up before you.

And with your guide on the road with you and our support vehicle never far away, you’re in extra safe hands.

Irish storyteller Marian Dempsey is back with another story from the heart of Irish mythology and folklore.

This time she’s taking us back over 2,000 years to the legend of Queen Maeve of Connacht, a warrior queen who refused to be outranked by anyone, even her own husband.

Every mountain, river and townland in Ireland has a story. This one stretches from the hills of Sligo all the way to the Cooley Mountains in Louth, and it’s only just beginning.

Want to hear what happened when Maeve met Cú Chulainn next?

“Great company to choose a guided tour with, nothing is too much trouble, and the group seems to have all the experience needed to execute a wonderful guided tour. As a lone traveller, this was essential, and I will be booking again!”

We often hear from our clients how unforgettable our trips are, from our friendly guide team to Ireland’s beauty (and good food!). One thing that comes up again and again is the camaraderie on our tours.

Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or with friends, our adventures are designed to bring our small groups of no more than eight travellers together.

Hiking in Ireland is the feeling of walking through valleys carved by ancient glaciers, under hills steeped in mythology, and along cliffs where the next landfall is Newfoundland.
