Family trips in Ireland

Luxury Family Trips to Ireland made for you

Inspired, bespoke, luxurious and private family trips to Ireland

Explore the countryside, discover castles and travel back in time

Explore mediaeval castles in the ancient east and while away the hours in fascinating museums and galleries in Dublin, before a cycle through the countryside. Families will love trying their hand at some Robin Hood-style archery and rambling along the wild coastline while cows and sheep watch on. Luxury family holidays to Ireland are bound to be packed with fun activities and wonderful memories.

There’s something for adventurers of all ages and interests in this beautiful and culturally rich country. History enthusiasts might be keen to head to Belfast and then all the way down south to Cobh to learn all about the Titanic. The museum in Belfast is a great place for kids to learn about the ship’s story, and there’s even a live undersea exploration centre. While a highlight of a trip to Dublin is a visit to the home of the ‘black stuff’: Guinness for the adults and creative workshops at the National Gallery for younger travellers.

If your family enjoys spending time outdoors then places like the Giant’s Causeway, the Cliffs of Moher and Marble Arch Caves Geopark are all exciting options.

Your luxury family trip to Ireland can include as much or as little as you like. We’ll help you to explore this welcoming and varied country, assisted by our enthusiastic local guides. We can plan every step of your trip so you can enjoy the tremendous adventure of this country knowing that Jacada Travel is taking care of all the details.

When to visit

With some careful planning, Ireland can be a charming destination at any time of the year. The best months to visit are April to early June when the landscape erupts into a vivid emerald green as the weather becomes warmer. July and August are good times to visit too, but this is the height of the summer season and the country can become congested. September and October rival spring as the best time to visit; the weather is still warm but there are fewer crowds than in summer. If you’re looking to cosy up by a fire in a country house hotel or nurse a pint while chatting to locals in a pub, then the winter months of November to February can be a great time to travel.
