Ireland & Northern Ireland

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Ireland and Northern Ireland together make up the island of Ireland, situated on the western edge of Europe and divided between the Republic of Ireland and the UK territory of Northern Ireland. The island is renowned for its dramatic landscapes — from the rugged Cliffs of Moher and the Wild Atlantic Way to the striking basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway. Visitors come for rich Celtic history, vibrant pub culture, literary heritage, and outdoor pursuits like hiking, cycling, and surfing. Cities such as Dublin, Galway, and Belfast each offer distinct personalities, blending history, live music, and a famously warm local welcome.

Shades of Ireland & Northern Ireland: Self-Launched (Dublin to Belfast)

A self-launched 13-day loop from Dublin to Belfast covering the same highlights as Collette's guided coach tour — Dublin's landmarks and Guinness Storehouse, Kilkenny and Waterford, Blarney Castle and the Ring of Kerry, the Cliffs of Moher, Galway and Sligo, Donegal and Derry, the Inishowen Peninsula, Giant's Causeway and the Glens of Antrim, and Belfast's Titanic experience. Independent travellers use express coaches, local buses and trains instead of a private motorcoach, staying in hostels, guesthouses and budget hotels. Costs are rough backpacker estimates in GBP and assume shared dorm or budget twin rooms, self-catering plus pub meals, and self-booked activities.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Ireland & Northern Ireland yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
