Look forward to more skies that look like this in 2025 😍 As next year, we’re approaching an exciting phenomenon: the peak of the Solar Maximum 🌛

The Solar Maximum is the point in the 11-year solar cycle when the sun is at its most active, producing more sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections than usual.

This increased solar activity often enhances the visibility and intensity of auroras, like the Northern and Southern Lights, making it an incredible time for stargazers and adventure seekers alike. With the sun at its peak, the Northern Lights may be visible farther south than usual, giving more people a chance to witness this incredible spectacle.

For space enthusiasts, scientists, photographers, and adventure-seekers alike, 2025 is a fantastic time to keep your eyes on the skies.

Perched on the rugged cliffs of Northern Ireland’s coast, Dunluce Castle's ruins contain centuries of history.

This ancient stronghold has witnessed battles, legends, and the passage of time. Though only remnants remain, the castle’s dramatic location and rich heritage make it a hidden gem waiting to be uncovered along the Causeway Coast.

On our Highlights of Ireland trip, Dunluce is just one of the many sights to be seen. Discover the others here: https://www.wildernessireland.com/adventure-holidays/luxury-deluxe-tours/highlights-of-ireland/

Discover the magic of the legendary Giant’s Causeway. 🌊

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a stunning geological marvel and deeply rooted in Irish mythology. According to legend, the Irish giant Fionn Mac Cumhaill built the Causeway as a bridge to Scotland to face off against the giant Benandonner. But when Fionn realised he was outmatched, his wife pretended that Fionn, in a cradle, was their baby. Benandonner, terrified of the “baby’s” size (imagine the size of the father!), fled back to Scotland, tearing the bridge apart behind him, leaving behind the Giant’s Causeway as we see it today.

Step into a world where myth and nature meet, and walk in the footsteps of giants. 🌿

Did you know Halloween traces its roots back to Ireland? 🍂

Over 2,000 years ago, the Celts celebrated Samhain, marking the end of the harvest and the beginning of winter, when the boundary between the living and the spirit world is blurred. 🎃

From bonfires to costumes meant to confuse wandering spirits, many of the Halloween traditions we enjoy today were born right here.

Discover the magic, mystery, and history of Halloween in Ireland.

When it comes to wildlife watching in Ireland, respecting nature is key! 🌿✨

Whether you’re spotting seabirds along the cliffs, watching dolphins off the coast, or admiring red deer in the forests, remember to always keep a safe distance, avoid disturbing their habitats, and leave no trace. Nature is at its best when left undisturbed, so let’s protect Ireland’s incredible wildlife for generations to come.

If you want to experience wildlife up close while protecting delicate habitats, join us on a responsible wildlife tour: https://www.wildernessireland.com/adventure-holidays/wildlife/wildlife-adventures-ireland-atlantic-coast/

Seabirds, sand dunes, and a UNESCO World Heritage site. What do these things have in common?
They can all be found in Ireland’s first marine national park, located along a section of the Kerry coastline.

Páirc Náisiúnta na Mara, Ciarraí (Kerry Seas National Park) encompasses several iconic regions of Kerry, including the UNESCO site Skellig Michael, Inch Beach Sand Dunes, Conor Pass, the uplands of Mount Brandon, and various other islands off the Kerry coastline.

Ireland’s newest National Park is dedicated to protecting the vibrant marine life, from breeding seabirds and playful dolphins to colourful underwater flora, and the ecosystems that they call home.
