What people love about Ireland Tours in April
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
A dream come true with so much to see and do and our beyond awesome guide Connor and company Overland Ireland Small Tours who had it run very smoothly! We had busy days but every day was different and Ireland scenery also changed daily! From feeding sheep to the beautiful Slea Head drive, we enjoyed it all! Plus our group connected on Day 1 and we had a fantastic time!
- Emerald Isle
I have already submitted my survey feedback on the part of the tour that ended in Dublin. I have now finished the ending (to/from Belfast) which was just ok. It was nothing like the non-Belfast tour which was rich and fun because the guide was present. While I appreciated the free days in Belfast, I got nothing on the history of Northern Ireland or Belfast, nothing like what guide Ally Cary did for us which was fantastic. And only breakfast as the provided meal; the hotel was fine but then again nothing on its rich history. Importantly, I was not told that the guide would meet me at the Belfast train station but rather at the hotel so I had to find my own way to the hotel; I managed via cab but for first time travelers to Belfast, that would be unacceptable. Why was I not told that I would be met at the station? She was there to pick up other guests not with Emerald Isle tour. Still a great tour but not a great ending.
This was the most incredible vacation I've ever taken. The country was fabulous and our tour directory Daren Blake exceeded expectations in every way. Words of praise don't do it justice. Trafalgar is the best. I loved the assigned seats and moving up 3 rows every day. I had heard horror stories from friends who have used other tour companies that don't do that, where everyone fights over the coach seats. Excellent Trafalgar!

What our customers ask about Ireland Tours in April 2026
What special events and festivals can I experience in Ireland during April?
Ireland's cultural calendar comes alive in April with events across the country. Dublin's One City One Book festival draws literature enthusiasts while Tralee's Easter Festival offers a blend of local traditions. Visitors can enjoy nightly performances of the Celtic Steps Show at the Killarney Avenue Hotel featuring traditional dance and music performances. According to a TourRadar traveler: "The traditional music festivals in April really brought Irish culture to life - the pubs were filled with amazing local musicians every evening."
What are the best areas to stay in Ireland during April?
Strategic locations for April visits include Dublin's bustling center near Trinity College and Killarney which serves as an ideal gateway to the Ring of Kerry. The Killarney Plaza Hotel offers convenient accommodation while Galway's Latin Quarter puts visitors in the heart of traditional music scenes. The charming Dingle Benners Hotel provides easy access to peninsula explorations. A TourRadar traveler recommended: "Killarney was an ideal base in April - central location and plenty of indoor activities for occasional rainy days."
What are the best coastal locations to visit in Ireland during April?
The Wild Atlantic Way offers peaceful experiences in April before peak season begins. The Dingle Peninsula and Cliffs of Moher present raw natural beauty while Slea Head Drive provides unobstructed ocean panoramas. Beach walks at Inch Beach Lahinch and Kinsale offer refreshing spring experiences. A TourRadar review states: "Exploring the Dingle Peninsula in April was perfect - staying at the Dingle Benners Hotel gave us easy access to incredible coastal walks and dramatic seascapes without tourist crowds."
What are the most scenic places to visit in Ireland during April?
Spring transforms Ireland's landscapes in April. The Ring of Kerry shows off its verdant scenery while the Cliffs of Moher stand dramatic against April skies. Killarney National Park comes alive with spring blooms and rushing waterfalls at Torc. The Wicklow Mountains display their emerald colors while coastal routes like Slea Head showcase the raw Atlantic. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "The scenery along Ireland's coast in April was absolutely breathtaking - everything was so lush and green after the winter rains."
What are the advantages of visiting Ireland's castles in April?
April visitors to Ireland's castles enjoy quieter grounds and spring blooms. Dunguaire Castle sits peacefully along Galway Bay while Cahir Castle in Tipperary offers uncrowded tours. Blarney Castle's gardens begin their spring display and the Rock of Cashel stands among emerging wildflowers. According to TourRadar reviews: "Visiting castles like Dunguaire in April meant we could really take our time exploring without the summer crowds and the spring flowers made everything even more magical."
What kind of weather can I expect in Ireland during April?
April temperatures in Ireland stay mild ranging from 12-15°C (54-59°F). The Cliffs of Moher and Galway's coastal areas often see changeable conditions with wind and rain. As one TourRadar traveler noted "Pack layers and rainproof gear - we experienced four seasons in one day along the Wild Atlantic Way!" Interior regions like Killarney typically offer more stable conditions perfect for outdoor activities in Killarney National Park.
