Ireland's very own table mountain, Benbulben is one of the country’s best known mountains!

Our tour begins in the picturesque blanket bog landscape of the Dartry Mountains which leads us to safe climb flanked by a cascading stream leading us high onto the main plateau of the range. From here, our trek is made up of gentle legs of uphill and level ground walking as we explore a secret cave, heading onwards to top out on our summit before exploring the famous face of Benbulben and enjoying some yoga under the setting sun. Our decent off the mountain takes place with fading light and into darkness guided by the Northwest Adventure Tour crew and head-torch.

This hike is rated as moderate meaning it’s manageable to anyone with a basic level of fitness and a adventurous spirit. We will walk approximately 10km and climb 500 metres and we will spend approximately 5 hours on the mountain.
