In the lovely town of Westport, trees and steep hills lead down to quaint, busy streets where residents duck into brightly colored pubs, cafes, and shops. Small, arched bridges span the still, mirror-like Carrowbeg River, which spills out into Westport Harbor. Your itinerary is set in the award winning ‘Tidy Town’ of Westport, County Mayo. The first eight nights accommodation will be in a lovely hotel located on the Quay (harbor) of Westport. This is a perfect location, adding just the right touches for your photography group to have photo discussions, and presentations.
If you have traveled to this area in the past, this itinerary offers so much more, with being able to walk the quaint streets of Westport at your leisure. Lunch will be at various restaurants and pubs, or we can stop in town and have a picnic lunch wrapped for our daily excursions in the field. Transportation is provided in a roomy tour van.

Fitness and Health
The majority of trips are not strenuous (see exceptions below for particular destinations) and anyone who is reasonably fit should be able to take part in most of the activities. You may experience general fatigue due to the long flights and the change in time zones. You will need to be sufficiently agile to climb in and out of the tour van and be able to carry and manage your own equipment. We will frequently hike trails ranging from easy to moderate. Some hotels do not have elevators or air conditioners.
If you have any special needs or any physical condition that you feel might prevent you from fully participating, please contact Strabo Tours with your concerns (607-756-8676).
You should also be aware that medical services or facilities might not be readily available during all or part of your trip. This could include emergency medical care, presence of physicians, or adequate medication.
