Walk Connemara offers guided walks, trekking, hillwalking, hikes and walking tours in Connemara, Co Galway, Co Mayo and  along the route of the Wild Atlantic Way in the West of Ireland. These are provided by Paul Phelan, a qualified mountain leader and experienced local walking guide and author of “Connemara and Mayo - a Walking Guide” published by the Collins Press in 2011. 

During the 2021 Summer season, we are offering half-day walks, hikes and treks.

Exclusive/private Guiding

The cost for an exclusive guided half-day hike ranges from €160 (for shorter walks near Clifden, e.g. Omey, Connemara National Park, Mannin Bay, Erriseask) to €180 (for walks like Errisbeg, Inish Nee, Cashel Hill, Maumeen, Maumahoige, DerryClare Woods, Leenaun Valley). Walks that are far from Clifden will cost about €200 (e.g. Cong, Clonbur, Finny Hill). The maximum number of people, for safety, ranges from 8 for Errisbeg up to the maximum of 14 for Omey (the Covid limit).
