What people love about Ireland Tours in April
- 8-Day Emerald Explorer Small Group Tour
Gorgeous views, adorable towns, comfortable ride and very small, intimate group. Some of the hotels were less than stellar, and others were fantastic. The kayak tour was so much fun. Really enjoyed the family-like feel of the small group. The price was decent for what you get. The Irish people are just amazing and warm.
- Wild South - Multi-Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland
Fantastic Tour of the South and Southwest of Ireland. Well Informed and extremely friendly guides.Fantastic chance to make new friends. And the scenery and places we visited were breathtaking. Would make the tour again any day.
- The Celtic Voyage - Multi-Day - Small Group Tour of Ireland
Exceeded well beyond my expectations...I took the Wild n Happy, Celtic Voyage in February of 2018. I was looking for small group tours and Wild n Happy had great reviews, though I had never heard of them before my google search. Unlike the huge tour buses you'll see all over Ireland, they use smaller vehicles, which means they can go places off the beaten path. There was a lot of flexibility within the itinerary. I was able to go hiking a few times seperate from our group (of 6) while they went and saw other sites and picked me up later. Michael (our guide) really went out of his way to make our experience unique. Things like Irish whiskey tasting, finding the best chowder around or a much needed cup of coffee. His work and knowledge made our trip really enjoyable and I'm considering doing another Wild n Happy tour with my family. Finally, winter is the time to go to Ireland. I was apprehensive coming from the southern U.S., but the weather does change every 5 minutes and there are no crowds. So if you are in to getting a bit of solitude with your grandeur consider winter.
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.
