Discover Ireland
There are many attractions and activities throughout Ireland for your group to enjoy. Whether you fancy taking a walking tour around a heritage site, a trip to the zoo, or a spot of shopping, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Changing face
Dublin Zoo is recognised as one of the most modern zoos in Europe, and is a place where the joy of learning about wildlife and conservation is at the heart of everything. Group visitors will now find that they are not merely spectators – looking at a series of exotic exhibits – but they’re part of the animal’s habitat. As you explore the Zoo you will discover more about the diversity of species, and why they are endangered in the world outside. Last year the Zoo also saw the birth of a beautiful Asian elephant, Asha. The new arrival bounced into the Zoo in May, and has attracted visitors from far and wide, desperate for a glimpse of the very first elephant to be born on Irish soil. To plan your visit, contact them on the details below.
The Emerald Isle
Ireland is home to some of the most beautiful countryside in the British Isles. Mountains, valleys, castles and the welcome given to all visitors are what drive people to the island. With peaks of over 1000 metres, Ireland is the perfect choice for outdoor enthusiasts of any level. There is an endless choice of walks in every corner of the island, and for such a small area you’ll find there are huge differences in the terrain in the North, West and South. To arrange your groups trip contact Extreme Ireland Tours on the details provided below.

Guided walk
Dublin is a city of cathedrals, Georgian architecture, museums and atmospheric pubs, and one of the best ways to explore it is by taking your group on a walking tour with Pat Liddy’s Walking Tours of Dublin. Pat Liddy is a well-known local historian, writer, broadcaster and artist who has personally trained a band of enthusiastic guides. The city was first founded around 2,000 years ago and has in turn been populated by native Irish, Celts, Vikings, Normans, English, Huguenots and many others. Ancient vestiges of all these immigrants are there to be found if you know where to look. The company can arrange the tour of your choice or special interest. Groups of 10 or more booking one of their daily scheduled tours can also receive a discount. For further information visit their website below.
Coast to coast
The Giant’s Causeway is a World Heritage site, National Nature Reserve and one of Northern Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions. Moyle District Council’s Causeway Visitor Centre is open daily all year round and is the ideal starting point for walks along the coastal and cliff-top paths and provides an excellent range of visitor services. A 12 minute audio-visual presentation, with commentary available in five European languages enables groups to further explore the origins of the Giant’s Causeway through local folklore and scientific theory. It also highlights the many other attractions of the Causeway Coast and Glens of Antrim area. Other facilities within the complex include Tourist Information, Craft & Souvenir Shops, National Trust tea room, picnic tables and parking.
