2.Guided Scenic Alpaca Trekking Experience Northern Ireland

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 126 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.)

Meet your ranger at BallyBurren Outdoor Escapes, choose an alpaca, and follow a 30 to 40 minute trail through farmland, woodland, ponds, and across nine bridges. Guides such as Charlotte, Ellen, Damian, and Reuben add safety tips and alpaca facts. Finish at an island coffee trailer, then walk the trail again if time allows.

“We recently went Alpaca trekking at Ballyburren with two teenagers, one of whom has complex special needs. The alpacas were adorable and we all enjoyed meeting them. Our guide Charlotte was exceptional! Patient and informative she looked after us very well. We will be back!”

3.Game of Thrones – Tollymore Forest Trek

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 20 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $13Best value

Follow guide Robby through Tollymore Forest to three Game of Thrones filming sites: the wildling pit, Tyrion and Jon’s campfire, and the direwolf bridge. The 90-minute walk includes Stark cloaks and rain ponchos, with small groups capped at 20. You need moderate fitness, and participants must be at least 18.

“Robby, our guide, lives and breathes GOT and he made the forest tour a 10/10 experience. It was great to walk around some iconic scenes & scenery for the series, full of extra bits of useful insight from Robby. The forest park itself is a beautiful, enchanting place recognised as a great backdrop (or the inspiration) for scenes in Games of Thrones and other amazing films also. It's fairly easy walking whilst listening, looking or taking photos, and at £10 it is very good value. I highly recommend Robby as a super guide and the tour itself as 5 star. Big Thanks Robby”
