Wild West Ireland Tours

The West of Ireland is most commonly defined by the province of Connacht, a region celebrated for its Atlantic landscapes, strong cultural identity, and deeply rooted Irish traditions. Tours of the West of Ireland focus can be narrowed down to Connaught and therefore often unfold in the five counties of Connaught: Galway, Mayo, Sligo, Roscommon, and Leitrim.

West of Ireland tours take in rugged coastlines, quiet lakelands, mountains, and rural heartland, alongside vibrant cities such as Galway, the cultural capital of the west. From the Atlantic shores of Connemara and Mayo to the literary landscapes of Sligo and the tranquil countryside of Roscommon and Leitrim, Connacht offers an immersive experience that feels authentic and reinvigorating.

Despite its wild reputation and vast national parklands, Connacht is well suited to luxury touring. Short driving distances, welcoming towns, high-quality accommodation, and access via Ireland West Airport Knock or Shannon Airport allow travellers to explore the region comfortably without constant relocation. This makes the West of Ireland ideal for private driver tours, bespoke luxury holidays, and longer stays that prioritise depth and meaningful exploration over fast-pace and tourist trail tours.
