Top 5 Reasons to Be a Solo Traveller in Ireland

There are various reasons why you’ve decided to become a solo traveller in Ireland, but in all cases, the result is usually the same: since you’re on your own, you’ll be much more motivated to meet and talk to new people than if you were travelling with a partner. Being amidst a small group, you’ll be able to get to know the other travellers, adventure guide, and local people you’ll meet along the way. While you can still meet new people when travelling with others, you won’t be as motivated if you’re on your own.

You could, of course, simply decide to be a solo traveller in Ireland on your own. But by booking one of our trips, you’ll get the best of both worlds: the holiday you want, but without the stress of organising it all yourself. Generally, it is not advisable to go hiking in the wilderness alone, but as part of a small group, you benefit from safety in numbers. There is also the benefit of shared costs, such as the costs for the guide, transport and even the accommodation if you choose to share a room with another traveller.

Frequent solo travellers will have run into this problem before. A lot of tour operators will immediately charge a solo traveller a higher price and book them into a single room. At Wilderness Ireland, you’ll have a choice. If there is more than one solo traveller on the trip, you’ll be paired with each other into twin rooms unless otherwise requested. Do note though that if you want to occupy a room by yourself, you will be charged extra (cost dependent on the accommodation for that trip).
