Quick Look

City skills plus the Wild Atlantic Way’s big skies and small towns—calm without fuss.

Why It Works

Itineraries favour walking, warm food, and coached exposure to wind and water—novices feel safe, veterans feel restored.

Where To Go

Dublin – sleep/stress studios, sea swims at Forty Foot.
Galway/Clare/Kerry – cliffs, beaches, peat-fire evenings.

Program Types

Breath + mobility, sauna/cold, journaling, simple Irish menus (fish, oats, roots), phone-light dinners.

Costs

Best Times

May–September; shoulder seasons are quiet and good value.

Getting There

DUB hub; trains/west-bound buses; local transfers.

How To Choose

Wind exposure, safe swim access, sauna proximity, group caps, evening quiet policy.

Sample Itinerary

Sand-dune walk → mobility + sauna/cold → seafood lunch → peat-fire breath session.

Insurance & Refunds

Self-pay; weather and ferry clauses matter.

Safety & Accessibility

Rip currents, cliffs, fast weather shifts; coached swims only; bring rain layers.

FAQs

Rain plan? Good venues have full indoor backups.
Gluten-free? Commonly accommodated.

Editor’s Note

Don’t chase “perfect weather”—consistency wins.
