Ireland In Style

Ireland In Style pairs our self-guided walking and biking vacations with an elevated layer of comfort - hand-picked country houses, boutique hotels, and characterful inns in place of standard stops. You choose your own dates and travel at your own pace, with every night's stay chosen for its charm and location.

From the cliffs and villages of the Wild Atlantic Way to the Ring of Kerry and the quiet lanes of Connemara, our In Style routes cover some of Ireland's most scenic coastline and countryside. Each trip blends active days with local seafood, traditional pubs, and slower evenings.

Macs Adventure has planned active vacations in Ireland for over 20 years, and 40,000+ travelers and 24,000+ five-star traveler reviews back every route we plan.
