Aran Islands Optional Day trip (at extra cost) - The three Aran Islands have a unique landscape with flat limestone and sheer cliffs facing out to the wild Atlantic. They share a similar flora
and fauna as the Burren with numerous protected plant species, and another link
Inis Mor (or Arainn - the main island) - Arainn, as the main island is often called, sleeps like a shark on the grey
waters of the Atlantic Ocean. It is the busiest of the three islands and
is visited by up to 15,000 people a day during the summer season. It is
teeming with dramatic sites and monuments and has stunning views and
scenery. The island is perhaps best known for the fort of Dun Angeus,
"the most magnificent barbaric monument in Europe." It is a half-circle
which rises around an arena and is cut in half by the cliff edge nearly
100 metres high. The drop is sheer and breath-taking and it's origins
are a complete mystery.
Doolin - wonderful tiny village famous for traditional music! Doolin is located close to the sea and near the Cliffs of Moher. Hopefully we'll be able to hear some wonderful Irish music while here; another link

Who Are These Tours
Designed For?
These tours are designed for women as well as men; young or not so young; people interested in the mystery and sacredness of life, with a desire to know and understand more of where we've come from to assist us in where we are going and making a difference on the planet. We also explore a lot of newly discovered/released information that you may not have heard before. If you have a curiosity about mythology, sacred sites, other cultures, and a sense of adventure and want to travel with like-minded people in small intimate groups with a nice balance of workshop time, site time as well as free, independent time, these tours are designed for you. They are not your ordinary, large group tours, being herded into buses with little time to experience the energy of the site. We allow special extra time at sacred sites and there is always the option of being with the group or being on your own. Also, meals are usually not included, except breakfasts to afford you the opportunity to explore on your own at meal time or eat with the group.
We want your tour to be
a trip of a lifetime,
a transformative adventure
