Adventure Holidays in Ireland

Tourist Information

Ireland itself is a fantastic adventure and a memorable experience, a nation of sumptuous scenery, populated by warm and friendly people, with a wide variety of delicious food and drink available everywhere. For some people, however, that is not enough; some people who travel to Ireland want to experience something above and beyond the normal sort of holiday, and it is for those people that the idea of the adventure holiday package was created. If you want to do something beyond the ordinary “tourist” type thing, then an adventure package might be just what you’re looking for.

One increasingly popular adventure holiday that Ireland has to offer is that of caving. There’s nothing quite like the thrill of slipping deep below the earth into caverns of rock and stone, and feeling rather like an explorer of old. You can choose to explore the Mitchelstown Caves in County Cork, Craig Cave at Castle Island, the Burren in County Clare or many others. Naturally, as this is an undertaking that contains some degree of risk to it, it is most advisable not to undertake it without the benefit of an experienced guide.

If it’s water sports you prefer, Ireland can accommodate you there, too. River Liffey offers kayakers some exhilarating rapids, or if scuba diving is your pleasure, there are several places along the Irish coast where these adventures are available. If even these seem too tame, believe it or not, Ireland also has opportunities for surfers! The Irish National Surfing Championships are certainly a treat to watch, and the Atlantic provides some splendid waves for tourists to try a hand at it themselves.

For those of you who would rather leave the water out of it, there are also opportunities to go rock climbing, or even hang gliding! Ireland, as you can see, has no shortage of opportunities for thrill seekers; the only dilemma may be in choosing where to start!
