The Wicklow Way • Ireland

Departing from Dublin, this unforgettable tour begins with a scenic drive to the world-renowned Powerscourt Gardens, voted the 3rd most beautiful gardens in the world by National Geographic. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Wicklow Mountains, the gardens showcase elegant terraces, walled gardens, lakes, and fountains inspired by classic European design. Visitors can stroll among exotic plants, sculptures, and sweeping views before choosing their preferred adventure—a guided nature walk through Wicklow’s tranquil trails or an exhilarating horseback ride through the countryside. Each experience offers a unique way to appreciate the fresh air, rolling hills, and natural beauty of Ireland’s Garden County.

After exploring Powerscourt or completing your chosen activity, the tour continues to the picturesque village of Enniskerry, where you can enjoy lunch at the cozy Poppies Café, known for its warm atmosphere and delicious homemade dishes. The journey then takes you deeper into the Wicklow Mountains, with your local guide sharing fascinating stories and pointing out famous film locations such as P.S. I Love You and Braveheart. Along the way, there are plenty of photo stops, including the iconic Sally Gap and the shimmering Lough Tay, also known as the “Guinness Lake.” The tour’s grand finale is at Glendalough, an ancient monastic settlement nestled in a glacial valley. Here, you can explore historic ruins like St. Kevin’s Church and the Round Tower, stroll scenic forest trails beside two serene lakes, browse local craft shops, or simply soak in the peaceful beauty of this enchanting place before returning to Dublin.
