DM Executive Line runs this private chauffeur transfer from Dublin Airport out to Achill Island on the Mayo coast - a journey of roughly 4 hours in a modern Mercedes-Benz with a certified professional driver. Your flight is tracked by the team, and 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time is included at the airport, so slow baggage reclaim or a long walk from the gate won’t change what you pay.
The price is fixed with no hidden costs after booking. Your chauffeur meets you at arrivals, handles the luggage, and takes you door-to-door to your accommodation on the island.
Meeting point: Dublin Airport arrivals.
Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller. Specialist infant seats are available, and service animals are welcome. Suitable for all fitness levels. Public transport options are available locally if needed.
Achill Island is connected to the Mayo mainland by a road bridge, so there’s no ferry to worry about. The island is the largest in Ireland by area and the drive across the bridge onto it has a satisfying sense of arrival. Most accommodation is concentrated around Keel and Dugort villages on the north side, and around Dooega on the south - worth knowing before you book, because the island is bigger than it looks on a map.
Keem Bay on the western tip of the island is one of the more striking beaches in Ireland. It’s a horseshoe-shaped bay with water that goes genuinely turquoise in summer sun, surrounded by cliffs. The road to get there is narrow and steep, but your driver will know it. Basking sharks are spotted offshore at Keem in summer and early autumn - the bay was once a significant fishing point for them.
The Deserted Village at Slievemore is a place that stays with you. A long street of stone cottages, abandoned over the course of the 19th century through famine and emigration, runs along the slopes of Slievemore Mountain. Nobody has lived there for generations but the structures are largely intact - roofless but standing. Walking through it in the right weather, with the mountain above and the Atlantic below, is one of those experiences that’s difficult to describe to someone who hasn’t been.
Achill’s surf is consistent and the island has a reliable school at Keel. If you’re there for a few days and want to try it, conditions on the west-facing beaches are generally good from spring through autumn. The water is cold by most international standards, but wetsuits are provided and the instructors are used to beginners.
