Thrill seekers should kick off their action and adventure tour of the west coast with a rock-climbing session on the cliffs of the Iveragh Peninsula.



The next day, head up the coast to the windy world of Rough point on the Dingle Peninsula and take flight with some white-knuckle kitesurfing. Stay firmly on the water next and build your biceps even more with some sea kayaking at Kilrush. Cross the wilderness of Connemara by mountain bike and head for Glassillaun Beach, County Galway to scuba dive in some of the country’s clearest waters and see colourful marine life brought north by the Gulf Stream.

Down the road in Leenane, scramble down on foot to Killary Harbour to sail its sheltered waters in a catamaran. Then test your physical strength and endurance nearby on a cross-country assault course at beautiful Delphi, located next to Ireland’s only fjord, before heading north to surf the waves on world-class near-perfect 10ft tubes at Bundoran, County Donegal.
