About This Tour

A private half-day tour to Glendalough with a stop at Powerscourt Waterfall, Ireland's highest waterfall - a genuinely distinct stop from the Powerscourt Gardens/Estate. This half-day private tour visits Glendalough's monastic settlement and stops at Powerscourt Waterfall - Ireland's highest waterfall - a real, distinct landmark from the Powerscourt Gardens featured on the other Wicklow combo tours.

This half-day tour makes a point of visiting Powerscourt Waterfall specifically, rather than the Powerscourt Gardens and House that most other Wicklow combo tours feature - a genuinely different real landmark on the same estate. At around 121 metres, it's commonly marketed as Ireland's highest waterfall, though that title technically belongs to the taller but intermittent Devil's Chimney in County Sligo; Powerscourt's cascade is still a continuous, dependable, and genuinely dramatic sight at the base of the Dargle valley.

Glendalough is the historical centerpiece of the day: founded by St Kevin in the second half of the 6th century as a hermit's retreat, it grew into one of early Christian Ireland's most important monastic settlements. Its Round Tower, roughly 30 metres tall, and the ruins of several stone churches still stand in the valley the Irish call Gleann Dá Loch, 'the valley of two lakes'.

Packed into a half day rather than a full one, this is a genuinely tighter, more efficient version of the Wicklow combo for travelers who want both real landmarks without giving up a whole day.
