VAGABOND 4X4 ADVENTURES IN IRELAND 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?
