10 of the top off-the-beaten-track places for your clients to visit in Ireland
The island of Ireland is renowned for its stunning natural beauty, iconic landmarks and rich cultural heritage. Yet many visitors only scratch the surface of what it has to offer. Here are some unforgettable experiences to tempt your clients off-the-beaten-track.
1. Emerald Outdoors activities, Kenmare
Active clients? Emerald Outdoors, based in unspoilt Kenmare Bay offers a wide range of land and water adventures from axe throwing and clay shooting to paddle boarding.
For something special, recommend the Night Kayak Trip. As darkness falls, your clients will paddle out under a canopy of stars and watch the water sparkle with bioluminescence, at one with nature.
2. Treaty City Brewery, Limerick
In the heart of Limerick's medieval quarter, make sure your beer-loving clients drop in on Treaty City Brewery.
A cornerstone of the city's thriving craft beer scene, it's committed to locally sourced ingredients and innovative techniques. Book a tour for your clients and they'll not only learn about the beer making process and get to taste some of the wares but also hear tales of Limerick's history.
Car Touring Causeway Coastal Route Ireland
3. The Gobbins cliff path
Perched amid the wild beauty of Northern Ireland's Causeway Coastal Route is The Gobbins, a special attraction for thrill-seekers and nature lovers alike.
This adventurous cliff-path at Islandmagee, County Antrim was designed by an Edwardian railway engineer and enhanced during its 2016 redevelopment.
Clients taking the tour here can expect to see dramatic mountain ranges, rockpools brimming with life, and hidden sea caves.
4. Kerry Greenways
The Ring of Kerry driving route is famous but there's a deeper way to explore the beautiful local landscapes. The Kerry Greenways follow the paths of an old railway line and can be tackled by foot or bike.
A standout suggestion is the 13.6km greenway from Tralee to Fenit, which will treat your clients to views of Fenit Harbour and Mount Brandon.
Those up for a longer distance can take the 53km route from Listowel to Limerick through the kind of lush river valleys and woodlands that give the Emerald Isle its name.
Along the way they'll discover golden beaches, ancient heritage sites and charming towns with great food and welcoming accommodation.
5. Sauna & Sea, Portstewart
For a memorable wellness experience, send your clients to Portstewart Strand in Northern Ireland, one of the North Coast's most picturesque beaches.
Here they can soak in those stunning coastal views while unwinding in an authentic wood-fired Finnish sauna, then follow up with an invigorating dip in the sea.
It's a unique way de-stress while connecting with nature and a sure holiday highlight.
