Onwards & Upwards with Adam Harrington

Our founder

Born & raised in Glengarriff, Adam has trekked these trails countless times, he knows  the area’s hidden gems and stories, and loves to share West Cork’s beauty with visitors – young and old!

We like to make sure every hiker feels welcomed and supported throughout the journey. Everyone has their own pace and comfort level, and we tailor each hike to each group. 

We create a warm and friendly atmosphere and a sense of fun and adventure among the hiking group. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a beginner, there’s something for everyone with Onwards & Upwards

Would highly recommend this Guided Hike up Sugarloaf with Adam, he made the trek an ease. He was so calm, kind and knowledgeable with just a wonderful energy and the views were breath taking. What an amazing day!!"
