Overseas guest FAQs


What about the Weather?​

It's a question we are asked all the time. And our answer is always- Ireland is really beautiful, any time of year. We live in a small country with an Atlantic climate, and that means we can get wet and windy days all year round- or sunny blue sky days - all year round. January can be frosty, snowy or wet, or dry and sunny, or a bit of both.  We don't know, but it does not stop us and it shouldn't stop you. 

A trip in January won't suit everyone. If you can't bear the thought of being outdoors to see the Wild Atlantic waves crashing against a Donegal beach, or gathering around a peat fire, hot whiskey in hand, listening to a fiddle player, then this isn't for you. Our trips will suit people who are keen to get a sense of Irish culture by exploring the outdoors by day and indoors by night. We think that the landscapes and seascapes really reveal their majesty in the winter months, and at a time when there are no tour buses and crowds, and people have time to talk. Dublin is also lovely in winter time, and again, less crowded. 

Ireland's beauty has been created by sun and rain and salt and bog and wind and wave, and it's what we got! Dress well for weather and immerse yourself in it, it can be the most exhilarating and rewarding experience. 

What airport should I book to?​

Though there are a few airports in Ireland, all of our transfers pick-up at Dublin International Airport. If you travel to another airport, you will need to make your own way to our HQ (information below).

Who should I fly with?
​​

If travelling from overseas, we recommend booking with Aer Lingus, Ireland’s national airline. You can also fly direct to Ireland from USA with Delta, USAir, & United Airlines. 

What documents do I need?​

You will need a passport valid for 6 months to be allowed entry into Ireland. You will also require a personal travel insurance policy.

Where should I change my currency?​
​

Almost everywhere in Ireland will accept your debit and credit card, applepay and most other electronic payments. You can change dollars to euro at your bank or on arrival in Dublin, but a simple check with your bank that your credit cards are euro-friendly will make everything very smooth. Visa and Mastercard friendly - AmEx is not commonly accepted in Ireland. 

Do I need travel insurance?​
​

Please take it from us that you should not consider any kind of overseas trip without a comprehensive personal travel insurance policy. A personal travel insurance policy only costs a fraction of your travel, but can save you thousands of dollars, and endless complications if you experience delays or cancellations or health events.
