Established in 2012
Born from a weekend road trip that turned into a family tradition, Emerald Trails began when founder Siobhan Doyle invited friends and their kids to explore Ireland beyond the usual tourist highlights. Instead of rushed bus rides, she mapped out gentle routes with time for playgrounds, bakery stops, and weather-ready breaks. Word spread as families swapped sunlit photos by the River Liffey and cliffside selfies near the Cliffs of Moher. We listened to parents who craved authentic moments and kids who wanted to chase legends of ancient castles. Today, our team curates Irelandwide itineraries with a careful balance of culture, nature, and downtime. We partner with Dublin and Cork locals—guides who know the best family-friendly routes, hidden playgrounds, and weather-safe cafés. Each trip aims to spark curiosity while keeping comfort at the center. We celebrate Irish culture with stories, music sessions, and farm visits, always with safety nets and flexible pacing.
Adventure Family Tours designs Ireland trips that fit busy family life. We pair local, kid-friendly guides with paced itineraries that balance hands-on learning, playtime, and downtime. From Dublin's historic lanes to Cork's coastline, our itineraries emphasize safety, comfort, and genuine Irish hospitality. We handle logistics, from airport transfers to rain-ready packing lists, so families can focus on laughing, learning, and making memories. Our small group sizes keep experiences intimate and flexible, and our guides offer terrain-aware options for toddlers through teens.
We design stress-free journeys for curious kids and tired grownups alike, marrying authentic Irish experiences with practical planning.
Our team blends Irish hospitality with family travel know-how. Local guides in Dublin and Cork tailor routes to interests and weather. We laugh with you, not at you, and we fix snacks on the go.
