- Galtee Mor Hike: The hike up Galtee Mor, the highest Mountain in both counties Limerick and Tipperary, takes about 4 and ½ hours. On this hike you will pass through an old stone-built wall and along an old Bog road before you are out onto the open Mountain. During the day you will hear some of the history of the mountain, you will see the areas flora and fauna and of course some great vistas. On the summit (Dawsons table) you will be greeted by 360º panoramic views, on clear days you can see all six counties of Munster. The descent from the mountain will take a slight variation, to show you more of the Galtee Mountain range. ,
- Carrauntoohil Hike: Carrauntoohil standing at 1,040 metres is Ireland’s tallest mountain and it is part of the Macgillycuddy reeks range of Mountain range. Climbing the mountain is a challenging but a very rewarding day out. The beginning of the hike is on fairly flat ground and it’s a perfect time to take in the views of the Lakes, waterfalls and pointed peaks. After an hour the ground steepens and effort required increases, firstly you will be climbing in a gully and then out onto an open ridge which will take you to the top of the mountain. At the summit there are views of South Kerry, Inch Beach and the winding Wild Atlantic Way. The decent takes an alternative route where you will be rewarded with more fantastic views out over the Black valley and the Hags Glen.

This is a great opportunity to experience the mountains under the night sky and you will be back in Cork for before last call.
