Trip in a Nutshell

Surfing on the ruggedly handsome west coast of Ireland is not for the faint hearted, but then again, neither is getting into a pint drinking competition with a ruggedly handsome Irish man. Both however are a whole lot of fun.

This 5 day, 4 night adventure takes you from Dublin across the centre of the Emerald Isle to the quiet fishing village of Bundoran. Here you'll partake in a whole lot of water swallowing, and duck diving as your lovely instructor spends 5 days teaching you how to surf. There's also some blo-karting, sea kayaking and hill walking in the rolling hills to keep you out of mischief. At night there's plenty of time to sit by the fire in cozy warm pubs, recounting your adventures and on the final night there will be a party and pub-crawl. (They do say you have to crawl before you can surf!)
