Your chauffeur will meet you at the arrivals hall at Dublin Airport, or at your location in Dublin City, and take you and your luggage all the way to Ballina in County Mayo - around three hours west through some good Irish countryside. You just settle in, connect to the WiFi, and let someone else handle the road. All fees, taxes and tolls are covered.
This transfer fits up to 7 passengers with standard luggage, or up to 4 passengers if you’re travelling with golf bags. Need a return journey? Book the same transfer for your travel-back date and give the operator your pick-up time, location, and drop-off point.
Ballina sits on the River Moy in north County Mayo, about three hours from Dublin Airport or Dublin City on the main western roads. The drive takes you across the midlands, through Roscommon, and into Mayo - a route that starts on motorway and gradually opens out into wider, quieter roads as you go. By the time you’re approaching Ballina the landscape is very distinctly western Ireland.
The River Moy is the thread that runs through Ballina, literally and otherwise. It’s one of the most productive salmon rivers in Europe, and the Ridge Pool in the town centre is known to anglers worldwide. From May through to September the river is busy with fishing, and the culture around it - the tackle shops, the ghillies, the conversations in pubs about the tides - is genuinely part of what makes Ballina feel different from other Mayo towns. If fishing brought you here, you’re in the right place.
The town has a relaxed, local character that the more visited parts of Mayo sometimes lack. There are good spots to eat on Cathedral Road, a few solid pubs, and Belleek Woods on the edge of town - a riverside woodland walk that runs for several miles and costs nothing to use. It’s the kind of place where you can have a proper walk within 10 minutes of your hotel.
Golf is another reason people come to this corner of Mayo. Enniscrone Golf Club, about 20 minutes north on the coast road, is consistently rated one of the best links courses in Ireland and is far less crowded than the better-known venues further south. Carne Golf Links on the Belmullet Peninsula is about an hour west and worth the drive if links golf is the purpose of the trip - it’s a serious course on a dramatic piece of coastline.
