Established in 2012
Emerald Trails began when two families, one from Dublin and another from Cork, shared a rainy ferry ride and a common challenge: how to show Ireland to kids without turning a trip into chaos. They had grown up loving castles, coastlines, and cozy pubs, but now faced the task of translating those delights into kid-friendly moments. They started guiding friends' families on weekend explorations, listening to questions about pacing, safety, and real experiences beyond souvenir shops. Word spread about a local hand offering honest advice, flexible plans, and approachable guides. By focusing on genuine connections—farm stays, coastal cycles, and stories told by locals—the company grew into a trusted partner for Irish adventures. Today, Emerald Trails preserves that early spirit: warm welcome, family-first pacing, and a love of place.
Wild Rover Family Travel designs immersive, kid-friendly journeys across Ireland. We partner with Dublin and Cork locals to craft itineraries that balance castles and coastline with downtime and cozy coffee breaks. From gentle city strolls to farm stays, seaside bike rides, and myth-filled road trips, our packages remove the guesswork so families can focus on making memories. Every itinerary is paced for children and parents alike, with safety built in, friendly guides, and clear expectations at every step.
