Description: Vagabond is heading north on a journey through 1000's of years of fascinating history, dramatic scenery and legendary places to the heart of one of Europe's most off-the-beaten-track regions. Northern and North-western Ireland has so much to offer as one of the most diverse, intriguing and beautiful areas of Western Europe and with Vagabond to show you around it will be a tour that you will never forget.

From the wilds of Donegal to the legends of the Giants Causeway, the Glens and beaches of the Antrim coastline and the historic cities of Belfast and Derry Vagabond will make sure that you visit areas that other tourists simply don't reach.

Like all Vagabond tours the trip is an awesome blend of great scenery, fresh air and outdoor activity, local culture and history and loads of laughs. Our small group sizes mean an amazing degree of flexibility, so every trip is different and molded to suit you and your fellow passengers.

Our small groups also allow us to stay in small out-of-the-way B&B's and Hotels, offering a warm friendly welcome and first class accommodation. All rooms have private bathrooms and most come with TV's and Tea and Coffee facilities.

Highlights:
- Visit the legendary Giants Causeway
- Conquer your fear of heights on the Carrick-a-Rede Rope bridge
- Clamber over the cliff-top ruins of Dun Luce Castle
- Take a Black cab tour of the fascinating Belfast city
- Hill-walking amongst some of the most remote and stunning scenery in Ireland
- Try Surfing in the North and north-west
- Horse-riding on breath-taking endless beaches
- Learn the A walking tour of Londonderry/Derry city
- Explore the nine Glens of Antrim
- Walk in the Mourne Mountains
- Climb Knocknaree Mountain to Queen Maeve's

Cost in US$: E729

For accommodation we normally use a mixture of B&B's, small hotels and Lodges, all the rooms have private bathrooms and most have tea and coffee in the rooms. (The B&B prices are based on two sharing a room and include full cooked Irish breakfast). Each place is different and adds its own flavour to the tours, we have put a lot of work into finding just the right places and everyone seems really happy with the results.

Each tour is packed with great scenery, fresh air and outdoor activity, local culture and loads of laughs. We stay away from the coach parks of the main historical sites and head for areas that mortal tours simply cannot reach, lots of time is spent on the beaches, going for walks, heading across to islands etc it is spectacularly good. Additional activities like surfing (E25-30 per 2 hour session), horse-riding (E25 per hour) and sea kayaking (from E15 per hour) are also possible, but even without these additional activities the tours are brilliant!

This Program is open to American, Australian, Canadian, European, Kiwi, South African and Worldwide Participants.

Vagabond - Award Winning 4x4 Adventure Tours of Ireland's Mission Statement: This is the perfect holiday for those who are looking for something different and want to fully experience Ireland. Instead of buses or minibuses we use 4X4 Land-Rovers, so our group sizes are smaller and more flexible and we can explore areas far beyond the reach of mortal tours You will leave the road behind and drive along beaches, into the mountains or across to Islands. Walk in the mountains, surf in the Atlantic, ride a horse or play golf. Clamber over ancient ruins, learn about pirate queens, retrace the steps of pilgrims or search for your ancestors. And at the end of the day, a roaring fire, some music, great food and a pint. Got any better ideas?
