Hiking Tours on Ireland's West Coast

Ireland's West Coast hiking tours follow the Wild Atlantic Way through County Clare and County Galway, where limestone landscape meets some of Europe's most dramatic coastline. Macs Adventure is a leader in self-guided travel, and this stretch of coast offers a different character from the peninsula trails further south.

Routes follow the Burren Way through Clare's unique limestone karst landscape, past the Cliffs of Moher, and out to the Aran Islands off Galway Bay. Further north, trails explore Connemara's boglands and mountains. Expect wide Atlantic views and a genuinely varied coastal landscape.

With 20+ years of self-guided hiking experience, we handle the planning so you can focus on the trail.
