Meet your guide

Originally from Kildare, I’m a father of three young kids and a husband, now happily based in the Northwest since 2014—drawn here by our love of the outdoors and surfing. Nature has always been where I’ve felt most myself, but working in engineering meant my time outside was limited to weekends. That led me to take the leap, swapping the 9-to-5 for a lifelong dream—launching my own adventure company and sharing my passion for the outdoors with others on a daily basis.

Scattered across the side of Croaghaun on Achill Island are the remains of a RAF Halifax Bomber that came down in a tragic accident in 1950. The repurposed Bomber that was returning from a meterlogical survey came down in thick fog with all 8 crew members losing thier lifes. One of a number of crashes occuring around this coast near this time. #hiking #ireland #achill #tonntaadventure #achilltourism #mayonorth Tonnta Adventure - Instagram image Scattered across the side of Croaghaun on Achill Island are the remains of a RAF Halifax Bomber that came down in a tragic accident in 1950.

Warmer days are coming so the wellies can come off for our stream visits in the woods! Any time we spend at the streams is always such a winner for the kids, wrapped up and in wellies or gently walking barefoot through the water to balancing on logs with the water beneath! It's never too long before they start to ask about building rafts, some kids like to learn some knots, add flags or sails and decorate a ships captain, while others might opt for a quick and simple log canoe style, either one gives lots of opportuinity for fun learning and savage excitment when we set them off below the bridges and run round to intercept them on the far side. Spending just a little time here and the exporation kicks in. Jars, magnifying glasses, scopes and ID sheets come out, opening up so much conversation around biodiversity and the importance of our waterways, big and small the excitement is real when they encounter their first creatures of the stream.. What looks like messing about is so much more. It's grounding, calming, and learning where the stream becomes the teacher! Can't wait for more of these days! #naturelearning #outdoorkids #forestschool #kidscamps #mayo #sligo #tonntaadventure Tonnta Adventure - Instagram image Warmer days are coming so the wellies can come off for our stream visits in the woods!

Benbulben 🥾 One of our staples, Benbulben is a fantastic mountain to have a great day out on, experienced hiker or not. It has some of the greatest views (on days where Irish weather plays ball). Even without the views,the fun we always have on this mountain is unmatched! It’s a good boggy trudge in and up the gully (this is the hardest part but still really accessible) the rest of the way to the summit is fairly flat which is where all the good chats come in! We stop for the gram photos and high fives at the summit. Then we make our way further toward the front to catch the views over a sambo and some coffee before making our way back down and dropping into a cool cave you never saw coming! If it’s your first climb or your 100th, we take safety seriously, our groups stay together no matter the pace, you are absolutely welcome here! Usual Irish hiking gear required, especially good boots, waterproofs and warm layers!
