I’ve road tripped Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way a few times now, and the west coast just keeps getting better. This stretch of Ireland packs in everything I love most about the country: dramatic coastlines, lively pub music sessions, and those classic moments when your car gets stuck behind a flock of wandering sheep.

My first taste of western Ireland came during an 8-day tour with Global Journeys, but I knew those stunning landscapes needed a deeper dive. So I went back with a rental car, ready to explore every corner our tour bus couldn’t reach. Let me tell you, there’s nothing like pulling over whenever you want to photograph those wild Atlantic views or chat with locals in tiny village pubs. Also, know this…castle hotels are worth every penny (just book well ahead)! While our guide showed us the classic spots like the Cliffs of Moher, going solo led me to hidden beaches, secret viewpoints, and some of the coziest family run B&Bs in Connemara.

This updated guide combines the best of both worlds: those must see spots I discovered on my tour, plus all the local secrets and practical tips I picked up during my independent road trip. From perfectly timed visits to popular sites to those magical backroads where sheep still rule the road, I’ll show you exactly how to craft your own unforgettable Irish adventure.
