We\'re delighted to welcome you to Extreme-Ireland; the gateway for a journey that you will never forget.

Extreme Ireland was founded by Keith McDonnell, an accomplished mountaineer and adventurer.

Extreme Ireland is an adventure for everyone on our tours, including our guides.

Our guides are hand-picked, 100% Irish, all with a sense of adventure and who will dazzle you with their knowledge of Ireland, from the history, topography, even down to the lyrics of Irish ballads.

All the guides are professionally trained, safety being the prime objective. All our guides have first-aid skills and navigation skills.

\"You will never feel safer than when you are in the arms of an Irish man\"

Our tours offer a unique mix of hiking and a tour of Ireland that gives you all the information you can never get out of a book.



Going on your holiday\'s means having a good time. You want to forget about your everyday life, and let someone else take that responsibility. That is what we are about. The minute you jump on our bus, forget about your family, forget about your friends. Welcome to your new life!

Having the craic is a term we use in Ireland for saying that we are having a good time. Craic is the Gaelic word of fun. One of many that you will learn. By the way, I hope your linguistic skills are good because I will expect everyone to be able to order a pint in Gaelic by the end of the trip and say \"Póg mo thóin\" in a way someone won\'t find offensive:



Envision a journey that takes you far from the demands of daily life and into a realm of pure beauty, enveloped in the sights, the sounds, the scents of the natural world. Places where the spirit soars and the soul regains its balance.

Travel with us and experience the gifts of nature in the best possible way: on foot, a vantage point that allows an unmatched intimacy with the earth. From the smallest, most delicate wildflower to the grandeur of a mountain vista, immerse yourself in the beauty that surrounds you at every turn. Trails that wind through deep forest; an endless expanse of beach, where the music of the tide accompanies your every step. The charm of the changing seasons, brilliant foliage, fresh-fallen snow that glimmers, jewel-like, under a full moon. Exotic locales where dazzling flora and fauna await discovery.

We offer rich vacation experiences designed for inquisitive travellers who want to see the world in a different way. Our unique journeys combine challenge and adventure with the finest creature comforts: at the end of each day, you\'ll rest at charming, cosy inns and enjoy excellent cuisine shared with good company.

Custom walking and hiking vacations are becoming increasingly popular, and we\'re pleased to offer a range of options for 2008. Guided trips for 2 or for 25 - let us help you design your unique journey with a customized itinerary. Or you can choose to reserve an existing adventure for groups of ten or more, for your private enjoyment. These vacations are ideal for groups - families and friends, colleagues - a wonderful way to bring people together for an unforgettable vacation experience.

Wherever you choose to travel with us, you know you\'ll be travelling responsibly. We are passionate about nature and dedicated to environmental preservation, and those ideals are reflected in everything we do. No-trace hiking is always practiced, and all of our journeys are designed and carried out with scrupulous attention to conserving resources and protecting the environment.



Keith:


Keith is one of the founders of Extreme-Ireland. He has travelled and hiked extensively around the world, but his heart remains in Ireland.

Keith is from the royal county of Meath, where once the high kings of Ireland sat on the sacred hill of Tara.

Hiking in Ireland began for Keith when he was just a babog, been dragged all around Ireland and up and down the mountains to see his father Thomas compete in mountain races. From an early age, his parents had a terrible difficulty in trying to cope with his adventurous mind. He use to disappear for days on end only for the parents to discover that he had hitchhiked up to the other end of the country and was stuck up a mountain somewhere, with only a pound in his pocket!

When he was growing up, all his holiday were in Ireland, usually involving squashing all the kids (6 in all, no television in the house back then!) in the car, and sleeping in a caravan Not like now, where people can afford to travel to exotic places all over the globe. This is where he got his love for Ireland, where he experienced first-hand the diversity this beautiful country has to offer.

Keith was a keen sportsman, representing his county in hurling up to his college years, and also his province Leinster in handball (an Irish sport similar to Pelota in Spain). Keith has lived in all the four provinces of Ireland at some stage of his life, and there is no better man to show you what our emerald isle has to offer. He has worked as a
