Day Excursions

Maintaining a strong connection to the family guiding heritage of our founder Con Moriarty that dates back to the beginning of the 19^th century, a coterie of our guides preserve a limited amount of their time each week to guide individuals and groups on day-excursions in the vicinity of County Kerry and West Cork.

For those planning to be this our home-region of the southwest of Ireland, here are just some of our favourite places to walk or hike, bike or tour. There are of course others, many sacred, secret places sensitively shared when opportunity presents.

Walking & Hiking

Here are some of our favourite walks and hikes around the region we call home. There are more of course - including a number whose locations are known to few and kept secret for their protection and careful sharing. Sacred spaces which mere handfuls of souls experience each year.

Classic Day Tours

In the company of Hidden Ireland, these tours are quite literally in our backyard, and in the company of our guides, the story of our place and people will be intimately and powerfully shared.

Canoeing & Kayaking

The great peninsulas of the south west of Ireland are separated by the drowned valley we know today as the Bays of Dingle, Kenmare, Bantry and Dunmanus. These and other coastal stretches of the Atlantic provide sea-kayaking rated among the finest on Earth!

Rock Climbing

Our company was forged from a love of climbing, on the mountain crags of home at the Gap of Dunloe, on the shapely ridges of the Reeks and beyond into the remote valleys of the southwest and on the walls and pinnacles of our Atlantic coastlines, exploring and often opening new routes.

Special Interest Tours

From a range of diverse “human pursuits” spanning almost ten thousand years through to the riches of contemporary Irish culture and the magnificent natural history of Ireland, Hidden Ireland Events delights in sharing the special interests of our guests in the company of passionate scholars and guides.
