Explore a selection of contrasting islands off the west coast of Ireland.

Nothing says ‘escape’ like a break on an Irish island – and this self-drive holiday takes in four of them!

Each unique destination on this nine-night self-drive exploration boasts its own distinctive character.  Overnight stays on the islands of Achil and Inishbofin, as well as colourful Westport and historic Connemara, with day-trips to tranquil Clare Island, and to Inis Mhor by thrilling small-craft flight, make this holiday a truly one-off experience, memories of which will live with you forever.

Each island makes for a wonderful destination for a day-tripper, but what’s the hurry? This holiday gives a mixture of superb island accommodation run by local families, combined with stays in Westport, Co Mayo and on the Connemara mainland.  There is ample opportunity to sample traditional Irish Music, freshly produced local food and maybe a tipple or three of the local beverages. It takes everything at a leisurely pace, giving you enough time to take in the landscape, culture, and wonderful sights along  some outstanding corners of the Wild Atlantic Way.

We would be delighted to book your travel to Ireland for this holiday.

We would recommend Dublin as your starting point, although it is also easy to come via Belfast or the port of Rosslare via the ferry from Fishguard in the south of Wales if bringing your own car.

Before your departure, you will receive personalised holiday information including full directions and recommended routes from your specified starting point, and suggestions on places to visit depending on your interests and our local knowledge to help you get the most from your holiday.

All Ireland itineraries and room types are presented subject to availability at specific hotels.

We work hard to make sure the unexpected doesn’t affect your trip. On rare occasions, changes or cancellations may occur, affecting accommodation, transport or excursions.
