The Castles Tour

Stay in Irish Castles on the Wild Atlantic Way

Our Castles Tour is a very special limited availability tour – offering a magical experience!

Best suited for those wishing to take the pace more slowly and relax in exquisite surroundings, often nestled away in remote parts of Ireland.

As the availability on Irish Castles is quite limited, we design these tours on a bespoke basis, typically staying 2 nights in each castle.

Your first and last night is in the 4 star hotel & Spa, The Brehon with 3 x 2 night stays in Irish Castles.

We have selected riding routes with an emphasis on scenery and being off the beaten path. Of course the choice is yours, but you will have an option to shorten the day’s ride should you wish to arrive at your destination earlier.

This is a bespoke tour and whilst we outline the route in the map, it greatly depends on how many hours your wish to ride, as well as the Castles where you will be staying.

Day 9 - Depart

Transported back to your Airport for flight home. Depending on time of flight, you may have time for shopping in Killarney or relaxing in the excellent Angsana Spa in the Brehon.

Included in your tour package is a personalised itinerary which you can download to your phone.

We include everything from your flight details and airport transfers to hotel check in references. You’ll also find points of interest and our favourite places to explore along the riding route, as well as some frequently asked questions, contact numbers and manuals.

We will send this to you and your group ahead of time so that you can start reading before your trip! On arrival, we’ll also present you with a souvenir road book.

“Seriously, a motorcycle from LemonRock is the only way I’ll do it from now on. My husband and I spent 9 nights on the Wild Atlantic way and couldn’t have had a better experience. They do all the legwork like reserving the B&B’s and mapping out roads we never would have known existed. All you have to do is ride and enjoy.”
