What we offer

Nature & geology walks and hikes

Discover Ireland's nature and lansdcapes on a walk or a hike. While outside admiring the views (hopefully!), we will learn about landscape, geological history, biodiversity and conservation, flora and fauna along the way.

From forest trails full of birdsong, to scenic glacial valleys, no walk or hike is the same.

The pace of these walks is generally relaxed to ensure we notice nature and be mindful of our surroundings along the way.

Bespoke walks and locations can be arranged. Led by a qualified Mountain Leader and geologist, hikes and walks can be tailored to suit your group's ability and interests.

‘Geology and environment’ for hike leaders, guides, mountain leader trainees, and mountain training providers - One day or two-day options

On this course led by a geologist, you will learn about what shaped the Irish landscape, from oceans, to volcanoes to glaciers, as well as fossils and elements of flora and fauna. Come away with knowledge that you can bring to your clients or group members or prepare for your leadership assessments, and change how you see the landscape.

A rewarding and enriching experience - for certain I can easily recommend Anthea to anyone looking for a refreshing and memorable experience!" - Jesse

  • “I have hiked with Anthea on lots of occasions. Every single time she planned everything meticulously and organised everything, from trails to accommodation. All I needed to do was show up. Anthea possesses a wealth of knowledge about the natural world, always teaching and disseminating insights on plants, birds and of course, geology. The paces of her hikes are tailored to the needs and ability of the group she is guiding. Always proactive, her ability to replan in no time at all due to changes in weather adds to her already fantastic attributes as a guide. She even had extra waterproof pants for all of us! I cannot recommend Anthea highly enough. Book with her for an experience of a lifetime.” -Halleluya Ekandjo
