Wicklow Mountains: Horse Trekking & River Valley RideYou get a pre-ride lesson if needed, then spend hours on horseback moving through the Wicklow Mountains and down the Kings River Valley. Safety gear is provided at the farm. The ride suits moderate to confident riders; it's not for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular limitations. Book direct with the farm to confirm your preferred duration and departure time.Is it for me?Book this if you ride at a moderate level and want a few hours on mountain trails without arranging transport or equipment — the farm provides everything and sits close enough to Glendalough that you can make it part of a larger Wicklow day. It's not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular limitations that would make sustained riding unsafe.
Glendalough and Wicklow Mountains tour from DublinThis half-day guided tour from Dublin travels south through the Wicklow Mountains to Glendalough, the valley of two lakes, where you spend two hours walking to the Upper Lake and exploring the ruined Monastic City of St Kevin's monastery with its round towers and Celtic crosses. A local guide leads the route; the tour typically ends back in central Dublin by 12:45, making it suited to travelers with afternoon flights or limited time outside the city.Is it for me?Book this tour if you're leaving Dublin on an afternoon flight or have a limited window in the city—the five-hour round trip and fixed 12:45 return time are built around that constraint, so the schedule holds and you're back with time to spare before heading to the airport.
Wicklow Mountains tour from Dublin: Glendalough & Sally GapThis is a full-day guided coach tour from Dublin into the Wicklow Mountains, visiting Killiney Hill, Avoca Handweavers, Sally Gap, Lough Tay and Glendalough—a monastic site founded in the 6th century. The smaller coach reaches secluded valleys and viewpoints beyond the main roads. You get 60 minutes free time at Glendalough's two lakes, a guided walk through the historic sites including the Round Tower, and a complimentary taste of Glendalough Whiskey on the return journey. Lunch is your own expense at a traditional Irish pub or alternative option in the village; children from age 5 are welcome.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to see the Wicklow Mountains beyond the standard routes—the smaller coach reaches secluded valleys and viewpoints that larger tour groups can't access, and the 60 minutes at Glendalough gives you real time to walk the lakes and explore the monastic ruins instead of a quick photo stop.

Dublin shore excursion: Glendalough and Wicklow MountainsThis full-day shore excursion from Dublin includes pickup at the cruise terminal, a professional driver-guide, and a route through County Wicklow to Glendalough's 6th-century monastic site and back through Dublin's city center. The tour runs approximately 8 hours and times the return to the ship around its departure window, so you don't have to calculate the schedule yourself. Small group sizes and an air-conditioned coach are standard; lunch is your choice of stops along the way.Is it for me?The 8-hour day starts early and moves at a steady pace—you're on the coach by 08:00 and covering ground through Wicklow and back into Dublin—which is what keeps Glendalough's monastic site, the mountain scenery, and Dublin's city center all inside one departure window. If you want the inland ruins and the mountains without building the day yourself or worrying about the ship's schedule, this structure does that work.
