★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 126 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

At BallyBurren Outdoor Escapes, your ranger introduces you to an alpaca before a gentle 30 to 40 minute walk through farmland, woodland, ponds, and across nine bridges. Guides such as Ellen, Charlotte, Reuben, and Damian add useful animal facts and friendly help. Coffee and tea cost extra.

“We recently went Alpaca trekking at Ballyburren with two teenagers, one of whom has complex special needs. The alpacas were adorable and we all enjoyed meeting them. Our guide Charlotte was exceptional! Patient and informative she looked after us very well. We will be back!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $13Best value

Join Robby at Tollymore Forest Park for a 90-minute walk to three Game of Thrones filming sites: the wildling pit, Tyrion and Jon’s campfire, and the direwolf bridge. Stark cloaks and rain ponchos are supplied. The tour is in English and limited to 20 people.

“Robby, our guide, lives and breathes GOT and he made the forest tour a 10/10 experience. It was great to walk around some iconic scenes & scenery for the series, full of extra bits of useful insight from Robby. The forest park itself is a beautiful, enchanting place recognised as a great backdrop (or the inspiration) for scenes in Games of Thrones and other amazing films also. It's fairly easy walking whilst listening, looking or taking photos, and at £10 it is very good value. I highly recommend Robby as a super guide and the tour itself as 5 star. Big Thanks Robby”
