Step by Step
The magic of this safari begins when the first light of day is still emerging. As the park awakens, you will enter an awe-inspiring landscape where the silence is broken only by the rustle of peat under the wheels of the 4×4 and the chirping of morning birds.
Your professional guide will share knowledge about the behaviour, biology and folk legends of the Irish red deer, pointing out the best places to spot them: high slopes, streams and wooded glades where they often feed and rest.
The 4×4 vehicle will allow you to reach areas away from mass tourism, ensuring you see herds in complete serenity. Along the way, you'll pause for tea, coffee or hot chocolate to recharge your batteries as you take in the panoramic Connemara scenery.
The use of binoculars will bring you up close to the animal without disturbing its wildlife. If conditions are adverse, you will be able to reschedule free of charge or request a full refund if the tour is cancelled due to extreme weather.
This safari is perfect for photographers, wildlife enthusiasts and families (ages 7+), looking for an authentic immersion into the Irish wilderness.
