Our Happy Visitors
An amazing time was had with William & Barry of North West Adventure Tours. We were a large family group with 8 adults & 9 kids. We had 2 great adventures, a night hike with camp fire, and Barry & William took the kids off on a day hike and adventure. Really brilliant tour guides, so informative and engaging….excellent with the kids. Could not recommend them more highly, we’ll be back!! Thanks again, Sonya

Our Happy Visitors
I am a local to Sligo and gone on a few trips with Northwest Adventure Tours. These guys can show you places you didn’t even know excited on your own door step. Myself and friends go on an annual hike with Northwest to a different place each summer, day hikes, night hikes, savage views regardless of weather, suitable pace for the group, lots of stories along the way, some fact, some ‘fictional’ facts but all very entertaining 😄, tea/hot chocolate making skills are excellent, though the biscuit choice can be questionable!!! 🙊
