A private chauffeured journey through Connemara's otherworldly landscapes — glacial lakes, bog-land, and the fairy-tale Gothic façade of Kylemore Abbey. This is wild, romantic Ireland at its most cinematic and unhurried.
What to expect
Your guide collects you dockside in a private vehicle and sweeps you westward into Connemara, pausing at photogenic lake valleys and ancient stone walls. At Kylemore Abbey you explore the Victorian walled garden, the neo-Gothic church, and the beautifully restored Abbey rooms at your own pace. The return route traces the Wild Atlantic Way, with cliff-edge panoramas that stop you in your tracks. Every stop is tailored — this is never a tick-the-box tour.
Good to know
Full-day tours run approximately 8–9 hours; confirm all-aboard time with your port agent and communicate it to Wild About Ireland so the return is planned with buffer. Book well in advance — private guides fill months ahead, especially in summer. Kylemore Abbey entry tickets (approx. EUR 15 per adult) are additional and can be pre-purchased at kylemoreabbey.com.
