Active Tours Ireland is a new venture, built on over 20 years of experience in Ireland’s Activity, Tourism and Holiday Tours industry.

We have crafted a number of Active Tour’s and Holidays around Ireland, with a range of easy, moderate and more adventurous Tours, so you can choose which suits your preference best.

Founders Dave and Michelle, inspired by their own travels and a desire to share authentic Irish Adventures and Experiences, saw an opportunity to create Active Tours in Ireland that go beyond the usual routes and offer a deeper connection.

Over the years we have gained a deep sense of adventure, a love of Ireland’s rich history, landscapes and culture and now we want to do more than show you Ireland; we want to immerse you in it.

Meet Dave Neville

Sharing the beauty, adventure and magic of Ireland isn’t just a business to Dave – it’s a passion built over more than two decades.

As co-founder of Active Tours Ireland Dave brings over 20 years of hands-on experience in Ireland’s adventure tourism and Holiday Touring industry.

Throughout his career, Dave has helped introduce people to the excitement of outdoor adventures, the beauty of Ireland’s landscapes and the enjoyment of trying something new.

His experience has given him a deep appreciation for what makes a truly memorable holiday: incredible destinations, authentic local experiences, friendly people and the freedom to explore at your own pace.

Having spent more than two decades working in Irish adventure tourism, Dave knows that some of Ireland’s greatest treasures aren’t always found on the usual tourist routes.

They’re tucked away in quiet coastal villages, along breathtaking cliff walks, beside hidden beaches and in the stories and traditions of the people who call Ireland home.

Inspired by his own travels, Dave understands what visitors really want from a holiday – the chance to discover somewhere special, experience something different and create memories that last a lifetime.

It’s this combination of local knowledge, travel experience and genuine enthusiasm that inspired him and Michelle to establish Active Tours Ireland.

Whether it’s kayaking along a spectacular coastline, exploring a historic castle, enjoying a gentle countryside walk or relaxing in a traditional Irish pub, every experience should be enjoyable, welcoming and suited to the individual.

That’s why Active Tours Ireland offers a wonderful balance of adventure, sightseeing, culture and relaxation, allowing guests to experience Ireland in a way that suits them best.

More Than a Tour – A Personal Experience

For Dave, the most rewarding part of tourism is seeing visitors discover the Ireland he knows and loves.

It’s about the excitement of exploring somewhere new, the conversations with local people, the unexpected discoveries and those unforgettable moments that make a holiday truly special.

With Dave’s experience and passion helping shape every tour, Active Tours Ireland aims to offer something more personal than a conventional sightseeing holiday.

An authentic Irish experience, filled with adventure, discovery, laughter and lasting memories.

A Personal Welcome from Dave

“Ireland has so much to offer, from our spectacular scenery and incredible history to our wonderful people and amazing outdoor experiences.

After more than 20 years working in adventure tourism, I still love seeing people discover something new, whether that’s their first time kayaking, exploring a hidden coastal gem or simply enjoying the beauty of the Irish countryside.

Michelle and I created Active Tours Ireland because we want visitors to experience the real Ireland, enjoy themselves and take home memories they’ll treasure for years to come.

We’d love the opportunity to show you around our beautiful country.”
