We are a family run business and we know how important your children are to you. We handpick our host Irish families and know the families exceptionally well. Donegal is a remote area made up of small villages which are very safe. This allows our international students to mix easily with Irish students, creating life-long friendships. Our students often return and ask to be placed in the same family. Students will be supervised by the host Irish family and will always be supervised during English classes and afternoon activities. They will also be supervised for excursions.
Do you want to bring a group of students to Ireland?! We will do the hard work so you don't have to.

The island of Ireland is in fact two countries:
There is no hard border between the 2 countries and you will not need your passport to travel within the island. Cars drive on the left in both countries. You will however need 2 different currencies: EUROS for Ireland and POUNDS for Northern Ireland. Many establishments will take both currencies, but not all.
They say Ireland can experience all 4 seasons in one day. Actually, it can experience all 4 seasons at once. Make sure you always have a raincoat or an umbrella with you. And wearing layers is a good idea as temperatures can vary. Typical temperatures in the Spring and Autumn (Fall) are between 5 and 15 degrees and in Summer from 10 to 20 degrees. But you may get lucky and catch a heatwave when you’re here.
All our journeys begin in Dublin.
Ireland has 14 international airports, although only 4 of these take flights from outside Europe and the UK: Dublin, Belast, Shannon and Knock.
If you are arriving at one of the other international airports around Ireland, we can help arrange transport to Dublin.
The airport at Carrickfinn in Donegal was voted the 2nd most scenic airport in the world in 2017.
We have a range of accommodation options for our various programs. These include;
Prices from: €1850

The trip to Ireland was incredible, I had the opportunity to be with a local family, speak all the time in English, learn a lot of vocabulary and visit very nice places, Aoife’s treatment was great.

Covid-19 Update
At Atlantic Way experience the health and safety of our guests, team members and local suppliers is our main priority. We are constantly trying our best to make things more flexible for you and to alleviate any worry of having to make decisions too early.
If you confirm a new booking to Ireland with AWE that at the time of booking does not have quarantine at either end (country of origin and destination), or advice against travel from the local authorities of each country, here is how you are covered if things change:
If up to 14 days before departure, there is advice against travel from the government or a national quarantine introduced at either end, you will be given these three options:
*We have been negotiating more flexible terms with many of our local suppliers. If there is a less flexible supplier involved in your booking, we will advise at the time of booking for any Tailor-Made Journeys (including Tailor-made Golf & Educational programs) and no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking for any pre-arranged journeys (Signature Journeys, Authentic Irish Journeys, and pre-arranged Golf journeys)
^ You can rebook your trip for any travel date throughout 2022. It does not have to be the same journey you originally booked. If the new trip is of greater value than the original booking, you will have to pay for the difference. If the value is less than your original booking, we will refund you the difference. Please note new travel dates are always subject to availability.
**At AWE we will endeavor to give you the option of a full refund wherever possible. This is completely dependent on the cancellation of our local suppliers and we will not be able to refund you if our suppliers do not refund us. As mentioned above, we will advise you of the supplier’s policy depending on your program, either at the time of booking or no later than 72 hours after you confirm your booking.
Should you have any queries or concerns please do not hesitate to contact our team on +353(0)85 247 1510, +353(0)87 124 5587, or via email enquieries@atlanticwayexperience.com to answer any queries you may have.
