Established in 2012
Growing up in the shadow of the Atlantic, we watched families travel with awe but stumble over crowded schedules and rushed museum lines. In 2012, a small group of Dublin and Cork locals decided to change that by creating family-first journeys that blend Irish hospitality with straightforward planning. We tested routes on our own kids' pace, invited feedback from neighbors, and built a network of guides who value safety, fun, and small, meaningful experiences. Today, Emerald Trails curates lively, relaxed adventures from the capital to the coast, always with a personal touch and a promise to protect what makes Ireland so special.
Outdoor Kids Ireland designs Ireland-focused getaways for curious kids and their grown-ups. We blend hands-on activities, easy-paced days, and authentic local moments—castle visits, coastal walks, traditional music, and cozy meals. Our team partners with Dublin and Cork locals to craft safe, structured adventures that still feel spontaneous. From planning itineraries to passport stamps, we handle bookings and logistics so families can focus on curiosity, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.
At Emerald Trails, we design journeys that balance discovery with downtime. Our itineraries invite hands-on learning, local cuisine, and real Irish hospitality, tailored to ages and interests. We tailor every trip for different energy levels, interests, and ages, ensuring smiles at every turn.
We are a small, Ireland-based team of travel planners, guides, and hospitality enthusiasts who love creating memorable family moments. We know the best playgrounds, viewpoints, and kid-friendly cafés along the route. Everyone brings local pride and a friendly smile to every trip.
