Discover the Isle of Man’s best spots with guided tours, hands-on workshops, and tickets to local events
Experience the Isle of Man’s breathtaking landscapes, rich history, and distinct culture at a gentle, unhurried pace on our curated walking holidays.
Based in Douglas for four nights, you will embark on three guided walks of 4 to 5 miles each. Traverse dramatic coastlines, explore historic settlements, and wander through quiet glens as a knowledgeable local guide brings the island’s wildlife, heritage, and stories to life.
Designed for effortless travel, this premium package covers return ferry tickets, refined accommodation, daily breakfast, a welcome drink, and both arrival and departure dinners. It also features a Go Explore Heritage Pass, granting unlimited public transit and free admission to every major heritage site across the island.
Uncover the island for the first time or return to deepen your exploration with a seamless mix of expert guidance, relaxed daily walks, and ample free time.
Travel by ferry to the Isle of Man and check into The Claremont Hotel in Douglas. Spend the rest of the day settling in before meeting the rest of the group for welcome drinks and dinner.
Nach dem Frühstück treffen Sie Ihren Reiseleiter und gehen zum Bahnhof Douglas, um mit der historischen Isle of Man Steam Railway nach Ballasalla zu fahren.
Der heutige Spaziergang führt entlang des friedlichen Flusses Silverburn durch eine der historisch bedeutsamsten Landschaften der Insel. Besuchen Sie die stimmungsvollen Ruinen der Rushen Abbey, überqueren Sie die mittelalterliche Mönchsbrücke und genießen Sie die ruhige Umgebung des Silverdale Glen, bevor Sie weiter nach Castletown, der alten Hauptstadt der Insel, gehen.
There will be time to explore the town, enjoy lunch at your leisure and, if you wish, use your Go Explore Heritage Pass to visit Castle Rushen, one of Europe's best-preserved medieval castles, before returning to Douglas by steam train.

Today, travel on the Manx Electric Railway with sweeping views of the Irish Sea. The journey to Laxey is a highlight in itself, offering a unique glimpse of the island’s landscapes.
The walk begins at Laxey Station, with the first stop being the iconic Great Laxey Wheel, the world’s largest working waterwheel and a proud symbol of the island’s mining heritage (entry included with Go Explore Heritage Pass).
The route then climbs gently towards Agneash, a former mining village nestled in the hills, before winding across peaceful countryside paths.
Von hier aus führt der Weg am King Orry's Grave vorbei, einem beeindruckenden neolithischen Ganggrab, das seit über 4.000 Jahren besteht. Der letzte Abschnitt führt zurück durch das Dorf Laxey und zum malerischen Hafen, bevor es zur Laxey Station für die Rückfahrt nach Douglas zurückgeht.
For those who prefer a gentler option they can walk to visit the Laxey Wheel and go back to the tram station to take the Snaefell Mountain Railway for a scenic journey to the top of the Island’s only mountain.

This morning, the group walks to Douglas bus station to board a service heading west to St John’s, a village with special importance in Manx culture. St John’s is home to Tynwald Hill, the ancient site of the island’s parliament, which has met here for over a thousand years and is recognised as the oldest continuous parliament in the world.
From St John’s, the route follows part of the Heritage Trail, a peaceful pathway along a former railway line, before turning towards Knockaloe Beg and climbing onto Peel Hill. Here, the views stretch across the Irish Sea and over the harbour town of Peel. A short detour leads to Corrin’s Folley, a 19th-century monument and superb vantage point.
The walk concludes with a descent into Peel, arriving by the dramatic ruins of Peel Castle, once a stronghold of Viking kings. The remainder of the afternoon can be spent exploring Peel’s narrow streets, harbourfront, using your Heritage Go Explore Pass to visit Peel Castle or House of Manannan and enjoying refreshments in one of its cafes or pubs before returning to Douglas by bus (hourly service).
