Graham Doyle - Owner & Adventure Guide

Wexford born Graham is the heart and the drive behind The Irish Experience.

After a stint in Multimedia and Purchasing Management, Graham gave into his passion and packed his bag to go travel around the world. Working in adventure tourism along his way it was something that just fitted perfectly as soon as he tried it on. He returned to his beloved Ireland in 2013 to study a Management degree in Adventure Tourism. Graham had a plan and on the strength of this plan The Irish Experience was born.

A natural adventurer and adrenaline junkie, there is little Graham hasn’t done- from negotiating raging rapids on rivers in New Zealand to jumping out of perfectly good planes at 19,000 feet. During his travels he was struck by two things - the lack of dedicated adventure tourism providers in Ireland and more importantly the potential this beautiful country has to host adventure travellers.

Graham believes that new experiences and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is what ultimately defines you as a person. With his qualifications, experience and team of experts around him, he wants you to get your adventure on with The Irish Experience.

Make it Mór!

Sean McConnell - Adventure Guide

Full of energy, life and enthusiasm which he always brings to his adventure tours, Sean is a skilled outdoor guide and instructor with over 13 years experience in Adventure Tourism from all over the island of Ireland.

Originally from County Armagh in the North of Ireland Sean grew up with adventure in his family and even helped his father run a very successful adventure venture in County Monaghan. He has taken his skills he developed from a young age and is now one of the top adventure guides in the business, if only we could understand that Armagh accent! 😛

When Sean is not guiding his small group tours for The Irish Experience he is out Surfing, Hiking, Kayaking, or even out foraging for his dinner, something that Sean often likes to do. He is well versed in bushcraft skills and is he the right man to be with when lost in the wildness! He’s our very own in-house Bear Grylls (only tougher).
