Why Choose a Walking & Hiking Tour with CIE Tours?

Come along and see Ireland on foot on our new light-adventure travel style

For nearly a century, CIE Tours has been sharing the magic of Ireland and beyond with travelers from around the world. We’re now thrilled to introduce a brand-new way to experience the Emerald Isle: our first-ever walking and hiking tours - available for the 20226 season. These immersive journeys invite you to step beyond the usual sights and into the heart of Ireland’s breathtaking landscapes—offering a slower, more personal, and truly unforgettable way to explore the country. When you come along with us to trek along the dramatic northern coast or the lush valleys of Cork and Kerry, you’ll discover Ireland’s natural beauty, rich history, and warm hospitality as never before.

Small Groups, Unforgettable Experiences

We know that travel is extra-special when it’s personal. That’s why our walking and hiking tours are limited to just 16 guests. With a small group, you’ll enjoy more time with your expert guide and plenty of opportunities to get to know your tripmates and new friends—all while exploring Ireland’s most spectacular scenery.

Stay in Comfortable 4-Star Hotels

After a day of adventure, you’ll relax in comfortable, well-appointed 4-star hotels. Whether you’re gazing at the Atlantic from a coastal retreat or nestled in the heart of a historic town, you’ll enjoy modern amenities, warm hospitality, and a perfect night’s rest - so you'll be ready for whatever the next day’s journey brings.

Expert Local Guides

Our guides are knowledgeable locals who know all the trails and the legends you'll discover along the way - as well as every cozy pub. They’ll share stories of history, culture, and nature as you explore hidden corners of the country that few visitors ever see.

No Hidden Surprises with Our All-In Inclusive Advantage

We’ve taken care of all the details so you can focus on enjoying your adventure. From comfortable accommodations and most meals to all your guided walks and cultural experiences, everything on your itinerary is included. There are no hidden expenses, just a seamless, stress-free journey.

Designed for Light-Active Travelers

Our walking and hiking tours are perfect for “light-active" travelers. Each day features up to five hours of guided walking, covering gentle terrain and manageable distances of about two to six miles. You’ll stay active and enjoy the outdoors, but still have plenty of time to relax and savor the local culture. 

Two New Tours, Twice the Adventure

Our two new walking and hiking tours are available to book now. 

  • Ireland Walking & Hiking: The Northern Coast—Marvel at towering cliffs, ancient ruins, and legendary castles as you hike along Ireland’s wild northern edge.
  • Ireland Walking & Hiking: Cork to Kerry—Explore the lush valleys, dramatic coastlines, and charming villages of Ireland’s lush and rugged southwest.

Both tours are eight nights long, with departures from May to September, and both promise unforgettable experiences, expert guides, and the warmest of welcomes. 

The Value of Walking Ireland

There’s something special about exploring Ireland on foot. You’ll discover hidden gems, hear stories from locals, and experience the country’s beauty up close. With CIE Tours, you’ll create memories, make friends, and fall in love with Ireland—one step at a time.
