About Damien
Hi, I'm Damien, founder of Wicklow Hikes and Wicklow Mountains Guide. Based in Greystones, I am a qualified Mountain Leader, fully insured, and REC 3 First Aid certified. I specialize in guided hikes and walks throughout the Wicklow Mountains, from scenic coastal trails and forest walks to challenging mountain adventures. My tours focus on more than just the walk itself. Along the way, I share local history, folklore, wildlife stories, and insights into the unique landscape of Ireland's Garden County. Whether you're looking for a relaxed nature walk or a rewarding mountain hike, I aim to provide a safe, enjoyable, and memorable experience for every group.

I’m a private tour guide and driver based in the Boyne Valley, offering personalized visits to Newgrange, the wider Boyne Valley and Scenic Wicklow. I collect guests from their accommodation in Dublin or Meath and bring them on a relaxed and informative day out in a comfortable sedan for up to three guests or a Mercedes MPV for groups of up to six. Each tour is crafted around your interests, with archaeology, stories and local history woven into the day. I’m a qualified National Tour Guide and a fully licensed driver and my aim is to provide a warm welcome and a memorable experience.

Mark McHale
Mark is a born-and-bred Irish local who fell in love with Howth and its wild coastal beauty — from dramatic cliff paths to hidden corners most visitors never find. What started as a passion for exploring and storytelling turned into Hidden Howth Experiences — a collection of award-winning tours blending breathtaking scenery, rich local history, great food and drink, and plenty of laughs along the way. Joined by his iconic sidekick Missy the dog, Mark creates experiences that feel less like a formal tour and more like a day out with friends. Guests get the real Howth: local stories, secret viewpoints, colourful characters, and that warm Irish welcome that keeps people coming back again and again. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxed adventure with a local who genuinely loves what he does — you’ve just found it.
