Ireland 8-Day Tour
Monday, May 11th – Monday, May 18th, 2026
Please read carefully before booking!
​WHO IS THIS TRIP FOR?
This trip is for anyone who identifies as a woman and is geared toward all ages—from Maiden to Mother to Crone. However, I do advise that participants be 16 or older.​
​
WHAT TYPES OF SISTERS JOIN GILLIAN'S TOURS?
Most of the women who choose to travel with me are adventurous, open-minded, and soulful individuals. They are kind-hearted and supportive, creating a strong sense of community and camaraderie. They come to connect, share experiences, and support one another’s needs throughout the journey.
​
HOW MANY WYLD SISTERS?
There will be 16 wyld sisters (including Gillian) on our tour.
​​
ACTIVITY LEVEL
Our journey will take us into caves, enclosed spaces, climbing over gates, walking on uneven surfaces, steep terrain, mud, fields with stinging nettles, ticks and sheep poo. Be aware that Irish weather isn't known for sun, but wet and wyld windy days and yes, even in the summer.
These are FULL days filled with adventure and many of our activities are described as HIKING. Some days we do stroll and use the vehicles, therefore, A GENERAL LEVEL OF FITNESS IS REQUIRED. You will need to use your personal ownership of your physical abilities, to ensure you get the most out of your sacred journey possible.​
​​
FLIGHTS
Your travel arrangements and payments to and from the tour start and end points are your responsibility. Flights should only be booked after I confirm that the tour is 'set to go.' This happens once we have a minimum of 12 sisters registered. You will be notified as soon as the tour is confirmed, which will be at least six months before the tour starts.
​
You will be responsible for arranging and purchasing your flights to and from Dublin.
SHARING ROOMS
Sharing a room with another traveller can be a wonderful experience. Many roommates who start a tour as strangers soon become fast friends and stay connected for years to come! Not only will you find a new friend, but there are also significant savings when sharing the cost of the room.
However, there are a few things to consider before deciding to share. I suggest having a phone chat (rather than just email) to discuss the logistics of sharing a room. After your conversation, you can decide if you wish to share with a stranger (who might just become a great friend!) or opt for your own room. If you love having your own space, make sure you’re 100% comfortable with your choice. And remember, just because you’re roommates doesn’t mean you need to do everything together.
If you’re coming alone and would like to share a room, I will be sending out a short questionnaire to get a feel for each sister’s preferences and vibe. This helps me find the perfect roommate match for you, so everyone feels at ease and well cared for.
​
ACCOMMODATION
Gillian has done her best to choose comfortable, charming hotels that reflect the local culture and atmosphere.​
​
Our stay at Temple House is a lovely treat— we are staying for three nights of the tour. Temple House is a privately-owned country mansion offering a unique and memorable experience. This is not a hotel, so no two rooms are alike, but even the smallest rooms are much bigger than a typical European hotel room, and each room has its own dedicated private bathroom. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis at the discretion of Gillian White. Some sisters choosing the "room-sharing" price may get their own room on a first-come, first-served basis.
​
BEFORE & AFTER OUR TOUR
I suggest arriving in Dublin a day before our tour begins and planning to leave the day after our tour ends. This is a beautiful opportunity to explore Dublin on your own or with some of your wyld sisters. Gillian will provide recommendations for activities, including a walking tour guide. If there is enough interest, I will arrange a dinner for us to gather and connect before our official journey begins.
​
Most flights from Canada and the USA are overnight, so you should book to leave on Saturday, May 9th, and arrive on the morning of Sunday, May 10th (a full day before our tour begins on Monday, May 11th). Likewise, our tour will end later in the day on Monday, May 18th (around 4:00 pm). Unless you book a flight to leave in the evening, it’s best to stay overnight and leave on Tuesday, May 19th, or later.
WHERE WE ARE MEETING
To maximize our day of magick, we will meet at 8:30 am sharp on Monday, May 11th. Our meeting point is the designated Meeting Point at Dublin Airport, located adjacent to the Information Desk on the Arrivals Level in Terminal One.​
​
Before our tour begins, I will set up a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with the Wyld Sisters. It's the most efficient way to send updates to the group in Ireland and share all our pictures.
​
CURRENCY AND SPENDING MONEY
The Irish currency is the Euro. The best way to get cash is by using a debit card in ATMs wherever possible. MasterCard and VISA are widely accepted everywhere.
Plan for about €20 per day for lunches. Your daily expenses will be mostly for the purchase of lunches each day, plus snacks, two dinners and any extra drinks you may want. You may want to put aside tip money for our bus driver, average tip sisters' gift is between €50 - €80. This is of course optional.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
You can't prevent the unexpected from happening before or during your trip. Medical emergencies or lost luggage can lead to unexpected expenses. Despite the best planning, unforeseen events can easily disrupt your trip. I strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance, including international medical insurance, trip cancellation and interruption insurance. Check with your local insurance company for the best policy for you.
​
PASSPORT
Passports are required for all international travel. Passports must have a minimum of 6 months validity from the date of scheduled return. Travel documents and airline tickets must exactly match the name and spelling as appears in the passport.
​
LUGGAGE
I recommend travelling lightly. One medium suitcase and a daypack should be sufficient.Take a look at packing page for tips!
​
WELCOME PACKAGE
To make your trip flow with ease and to get the excitement going, I will be mailing out a welcome package to each of you in March 2026. This package will include your final itinerary, a Dublin walking tour guide, and a few added goodies.​
​
BRING AN ADVENTUROUS ATTITUDE!
Because things sometimes don't go exactly as planned when travelling, I have found that having an adventurous attitude toward hiccups in the plan makes all the difference. If something is not up to your expectations, or plans have to change suddenly, remember that this is an adventure and a journey of discovery of the land and of the self! Just go with the flow and remember, "It's all part of the journey!
