Team
Get to know the team at Wilderness Ireland.
Paul has been guiding professionally for 4 years, but unofficially guiding friends and family for 20 years. He loves making friends out of strangers and seeing the excitement in their faces as they kayak, cycle, walk, and explore. He never gets tired of the abundant mountain and sea views.
- Q: What is your favourite tour to lead?
- A: Whichever one I’m doing that day! In all seriousness though, go west. My favourite trip is Island Hopping on Ireland’s West Coast, since you really have the chance to see Ireland at its most amazing - 4 incredible islands as well as Connemara and Burren national parks. It’s nearly too good to be true.
- Q: What are guests most amazed about when visiting Ireland?
- A: No doubt everyone is amazed by the scenery- the empty white beaches, lush green mountains, the abundance of castles and the ancient graves older than the pyramids of Giza. The Burren has 27 kinds of orchids alone, and that’s just the start of the incredible flora and fauna!
- Q: What has been your most unforgettable moment while guiding?
- A: Helping someone who swore they couldn’t get to the top of Croagh Patrick Mountain and seeing their pride at the top! I also love when you’re at ancient structures like Poulenabrone and you’re explaining the history and myths of the place while you’re actually standing right there. It’s as amazing for me as for them!
