Dublin Wild Wicklow Mountains and Glendalough Shore Excursion

Embark on a full-day shore excursion that begins with a warm welcome from your licensed local guide at the Dublin Cruise Terminal, where you’ll board a comfortable, air-conditioned coach to begin an unforgettable journey. The tour kicks off with a scenic drive along Dublin’s picturesque southern coastline, passing through charming seaside towns and offering breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. As you leave the city behind, the route leads you into the heart of County Wicklow, known as the “Garden of Ireland,” where lush landscapes, secluded valleys, and dramatic mountain vistas await. Throughout the journey, your expert guide shares local insights, history, and folklore, adding a personal touch that brings the scenery to life and makes the day both informative and enjoyable.

The highlight of the tour is your visit to Glendalough, a serene glacial valley steeped in natural beauty and early Christian history. Here, you’ll have the option to join a guided walking tour of the monastic site, which includes ancient stone churches, a round tower, and sacred ruins nestled in a tranquil setting. Those looking for a bit more adventure can take a scenic 2.5 km hike from the Lower Lake to the stunning Upper Lake, returning via a peaceful boardwalk trail that meanders through woodland and open vistas. Alternatively, enjoy your free time at a local café or simply soak in the peaceful atmosphere. After your exploration, relax on the return drive through the Wicklow Mountains, reflecting on the stunning views and cultural treasures experienced during this enriching Irish escape.
