Our Story
Shirley Teskey and I, Jan van Soest, run Wild Atlantic Walking Tours (wawt.ie) from our horseshoe valley just outside Kenmare, in Kerry.
We both enjoy walking and established the Wild Atlantic Walking Tours booking platform when we noticed how difficult to find local walking guides in beautiful walking areas in Ireland when we walked here ourselves. Most local guides have no online presence at all. This was the seed of the idea that started Wild Atlantic Walking Tours, and the project then evolved and expanded to promote both our own walking business and that of others.
At Wild Atlantic Walking Tours individual or small-group walkers can choose from a variety of walks along the stunning Irish coast, and book directly through the website with a local guide.
In addition to booking a single walk with a local walking guide for a day, we also cater for larger walking groups on dedicated walking holidays and organise tailored Guided Walking Tours for Groups, including accommodation and transport.
We at Wild Atlantic Walking Tours are here to provide a crucial link between visiting walkers and local walking guides.
We look forward to walking with you soon!
