    Mini Bio

    I was born in County Sligo, a land steeped in legend, framed by majestic mountains, and graced with a stunning coastline. For the past several years, I have been leading guided outings through the enchanting landscapes of the Burren National Park—a place rich in history and natural wonders, from ancient cairns to sacred holy wells.

    Nature is my passion, and I find great joy in guiding others through Ireland’s wild and mystical landscapes.

    Favourite Place to Play

    There’s something very therapeutic about being beside the sea.

    What Fellow Travellers Say About Joanne

    We really enjoyed our guide, Joanne! She was always good-natured and patient; she answered so many different kinds of questions, from logistical to cultural, historical, and biological. Despite having to shepherd 8 adults for 12 hours a day, she kept her good humor and seemed always eager to discuss Irish life and culture with us.

    Joanne was simply amazing! She shared history and stories. She kept an eye on us, but we were able to pace ourselves. She was very organized and timely. She wanted to mold the hikes around people’s wishes.

    Make Trip Private

    Sometimes it's nice to get family and friends together and travel privately for some quality time. This means you benefit from all the features of the group departure, including hand-picked accommodation and expert local guides and we'll take care of it all. Then you can make your choice of departures dates and we'll get back to you to finalise the details.

    We work together with our team of guides to decide which departures they lead each year. As part of that, guides provide available dates that they are free to be booked. This means that any of the dates you see in the first field of the form below, could be perfect for your private departure or customised tour.
