Full Moon Walks title

Experience the Wicklow mountains on our special Full Moon walks!

These began in 2008 and will be still going well in 2028 with the feedback we are receiving from everyone. It is a spectacular opportunity to experience the mountains during a full moon. We will be doing walks that suit the experience of the group but you will be expected to walk for anything up to 3 to 4 hours depending on the walk location. This is a great insight into what goes on with our local wildlife at night-time. Your guide will bring you to some of the best view points over the mountains. Good examples of hikes we will be doing would be Camaderry, Derrybawn, and Turlough Hill etc. The walks will begin at around 7 pm in the winter & 9pm in the summer from an arranged starting point.

Contact our office staff to let you know the starting points. This is a great opportunity for hiking, night navigation and just experiencing the freedom that the mountains in the night can give you. Unmissable!

Price: €25 per person

Our next Full Moon Walk is Friday July 15th. We will be meeting at the Hollywood Inn carpark in Hollywood. Contact Keith on 0864076985. We will be meeting at 7 pm. You will met by Keith at the car park, to take you on your adventure. The Extreme Ireland bus should also be in the park if not somewhere else driving around the mountains of Ireland. We expect to walk along St. Kevins way before making our way onto open mountain. This is a lovely route not to be missed.

You will need good (broken in already) walking Boots, Something hot / cold to drink and a snack.. Rain Gear is essential - just in case. Wear suitable clothes for the weather on the night. Carry an extra layer in case it is a little colder after the sun goes down in a small rucksack if you feel it necessary . If you have a head torch bring it along with you as well. We have spare ones, but only a limited amount. Our Moon walks are for walkers that already have experience in the hills. You will be walking on the open mountain so prior experience on this type of terrain is expected. This walk anything up to 3 hours with time for a break en route.

If you have any queries please give us a call on 01-4100700 / 086-4076985

Our last Full Moon Walk...

Our walk in June was led mightily by Pat and they took our adventurers on a walk up around the Hollywood region. From there they went up and over some beautiful hills, a great walk. Everyone had a great time and lots of smiling faces at the end as usual! It was a wonderful night and the views everyone had was amazing. They even had time to play a geocaching game on the hill. Someone did however forget their bags at the rest point and I had to go half way back up the mountain to retrieve it..gggrrrr
New friends made and another adventure behind us. Until the next one!
