About this trip

Step into a world of mystery and enchantment on a 10-day journey through Ireland’s castles and faerie realms with Dustin Pari from Ghost Hunters.

This ethereal adventure begins in Dublin, where whispers of ancient magic greet you at every turn. Stay in majestic castle hotels, steeped in history and haunted by spirits of old. Wander through the legendary halls of Malahide and Powerscourt, where the line between history and magic blurs. Explore the sacred Brú na Bóinne, a 5,000-year-old site where Ireland’s mythical ancestors, the Tuatha Dé Danann, are said to dwell. Delve into the fairy lore at Pat Noone’s Fairy Farm, and investigate the haunted corridors of Leap Castle with Dustin Pari, uncovering the dark history of the O’Carroll clan.

Celebrate the ancient festival of Beltane at the Hill of Uisneach, where the five provinces of Ireland unite in a powerful ritual of renewal.

Feel the thrill as the Beltane fires light up the night sky, warding off evil spirits and welcoming the summer. Journey along the Ring of Kerry, where every turn reveals a new story of ancient myths and enchanted landscapes.

On May 4th, embrace the mystical energy of Skellig Michael, the filming location for Star Wars, and let the force be with you as you explore this otherworldly island.

Stand in awe at the Cliffs of Moher, where the spirits of the land guide the lost, and marvel at the Rock of Cashel, an iconic stronghold filled with centuries of history and legend. Each day of this journey offers a new adventure—whether it’s walking through the enchanted gardens of Powerscourt or unraveling the mysteries of ancient sites like Staigue Stone Fort and Dunmore Cave. As night falls, retreat to your castle, where the luxurious surroundings are tinged with a ghostly presence.


Let the magic of Ireland captivate your soul on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure, where every moment is filled with wonder and the unseen becomes reality.

Coming Soon: 5 Castle Hotels

Be Led By...Dustin Pari!

Born a simple boy to a truck driver and one of the last all-American housewives, Dustin grew up in Providence, Rhode Island without much pomp and circumstance. Most notably he ditched his bowl-cut for his trademark spiky hair sometime around 5th grade when he first became interested in the fairer sex. After graduating from high school, he then bounced around the local state and community colleges before graduating with a degree in multimedia production. He worked for CBS and FOX News locally for many years before getting into healthcare. 


Being on television as a paranormal investigator happened quite by accident, but there is something to be said about accidents being best described as when hard work meets opportunity. Several seasons and years of his life later, Dustin had traveled the world like a “Paranormal Rockstar”, a moniker given to him during an interview, which was then used from that point forward since it symbolized much of who he was.


But we all grow. We all change. We must all move forward, or we become stagnant and boring and acquiesce to merely what is comfortable. So, for a while, Dustin toyed with the idea of calling himself a three-headed dragon, as he is multifaceted and a bit magical. But dragons can be scary, and Dustin is kind, not scary. Plus, some breathe fire, and with the amount of hairspray used on a daily basis, open flames are a strict no-no. So after much consideration, or perhaps none at all, the “Steel Unicorn” was born.


Strong yet approachable. Mythical but as real as it gets. A creature seemingly in conflict with itself. A clear mental image that is almost impossible to comprehend. One thing that is easily understood, Dustin cares for and loves all that he comes in contact with, as one would assume a steel unicorn would.


Regardless of whatever you may call him, or what he may call himself, Dustin may be best known as a paranormal researcher and lecturer due to his numerous appearances on such television programs as Ghost Hunters, Ghost Hunters International, and Destination Truth. He has journeyed up and down the road time and time again appearing here, there, and everywhere. Though a well-respected and highly regarded staple of the paranormal event and lecture circuit, Dustin also delivers his entertaining and educational paranormal presentations to colleges and libraries across America.


Dustin has recently become a highly sought-after motivational lecturer whose insightful and humorous anecdotes have inspired thousands of event attendees, and even more worldwide. Determined to leave a legacy of kindness, Dustin goes forth with a helpful heart in an effort to change the world. Focusing on the commonalities he has found to be of particular interest in this, our human experience, Dustin is thankful that he has been fortunate to help many others as we all walk through this life together. Be it at middle schools, high schools, corporate meetings, or social gathering halls, Dustin delivers a positive message that is entertaining and life-changing.

Though admittedly far from perfect, Dustin also delivers Christian-based lectures at churches and online through his efforts with Patch Ministry. Always of love and never judgment, Dustin’s message may not always quote scripture, but it embraces the message of Christ, a message of kindness.


The author of numerous books, Dustin applies his knowledge and colorful personality to weave strange tales of the unknown, motivational tales of his own life, and random tales of his own mind. His mind is a bit of a mess, but it sure is a lot of fun!

Itinerary

DAY 1: April 29, 2025
Welcome to Dublin! Your spectral adventure begins!

As you step onto the ancient soil of Ireland at Dublin Airport, you're greeted by whispers of ancient magic and the scent of heather on the wind. A mysterious carriage awaits to transport you to your first destination - a castle veiled in secrets and guarded by the spirits of old. Settle into your chambers, where the walls hold echoes of forgotten tales.  


After settling into your chambers and a short spell of free time in Dublin, we will stroll around the beautiful St. Anne's Park, one of Dublin's largest, boasting woodlands, gardens, and scenic coastline. Here, you will be introduced to your first fairy trail through secret pathways and secluded meadows. We will discover fairy houses, toadstools, and other magical surprises.  


Your first day will end with a Welcome Dinner, where tales of castles and fairies will ignite your imagination. Let the enchantment of Ireland weave its spell on you from the very first day.  You will stay at Clontarf Castle or the like.

Reviews

Honestly, I don't think there are enough words to describe the joy I felt on this trip. This trip has set the standard high for the rest of the trips to come. I definitely would have wanted to spend more time in Transylvania, especially in Bran, and more than one night in the Hoia Baciu forest and Corvin castle. Maybe even spend the night in the forest. :) Seeing Nevermore was an awesome treat for our first time in the Carpathians. I am hoping that the next time this trip comes up that Vlad Tepes' castle is open for us to investigate. I would have loved to have gone higher and further into the Carpathian mountains - further near the summit. The bed and breakfast in Bran - Villa Siana - was the chef's kiss. I wish we could have spent more time there just to sit by the fireside and share more stories. What can I say about Katrina and Vlad? Again, I'm an articulate person, but I can't think of what to say that would encompass their passion and generosity they shared this entire trip. I REALLY WANT TO SEE KATRINA BE OUR TOUR GUIDE AGAIN IN IRELAND NEXT YEAR. (hint, hint, wink, wink) She was so sweet, and had to put up with those of us (namely, ME) who wanted to linger a little longer to soak in the experience. Vlad was phenomenal, intelligent, knowledgeable, fun, exciting, encouraging... I wish he could go to Ireland with us, too. I think the only disappointment I had was the experience at Bran castle. It felt too much like we were being shoved through an attraction at Disneyland. I know that it is a popular attraction around Halloween, especially with the party going on. I was under the impression that the dinner and party would be in the castle and not outside of it. At least that's the impression I got from the description. The food was phenomenal. I didn't bring back enough chocolate or palinka! Thank you all for this memorable trip and the new travel family I have. Heather PS. Our bus driver had some mad ninja driving skills for the places he took that bus and how he could turn it around. And I do miss having Alle in our faces with the his camera. IT felt like having a personal photographer around. It would be nice if he came to Ireland as well.
By Heather R for SOLD OUT! Spooktacular Halloween in Romania with Grant Wilson! on Nov 18, 2023
The trip to Romania was perfect!! It was everything that was expected and more. The entire trip went very smooth and easy.. There wasn't any problems even though we had such a large group of people. We all got along, all 38 of us. Kayla and Vlad made the trip and us very special. Both of them did an exceptional job, the entire trip. There were no fears when we were with them. Anywhere we went we knew Vlad and Kayla had our back.. Kayla ran the trip without any issues and problem free. She is such a sweet person and a great tour organizer. Vlad our guide knew his stuff. I would take any trip that either one of them offered, even if it wasn't something I was looking for. I'd take the trip, it's guaranteed fun and a wealth of knowledge. Grant and Reanna were very kind and normal. You had no issues to approach them, the were very willing to help anyone out, or answer any questions that you may have. You felt like they were your friend, not someone from a tv show. I felt that Grant poured his heart out to the entire group, it felt very authentic and special. The two of them, Grant and Reanna exposed me to things and thoughts that I've never would have anywhere else. I'd take their next trip if I could, but it's sold out!! Most of our tour group booked it once they were done with the Halloween experience in Romania.. Bottom line, I cannot say enough good things about my trip. I still think about it almost everyday, It's been a little over a week since we've been back home. I'm miss it often and cannot wait for our next adventure. Thank you Maria for putting together such a special trip for all of us.

First time with this company. The itinerary was fascinating, which is why we booked! Had a few hiccups along the way, but they were handled quickly and professionally! Our tour guide Vlad was incredible! Knowledgeable, funny, compassionate and just amazing! And the cherry on top was having Grant and Reanna Wilson along! They are truly wonderful people! Had the best time with them! Looking forward to booking another trip in the near future!
By Evelyn D for SOLD OUT! Spooktacular Halloween in Romania with Grant Wilson! on Nov 14, 2023
We are so grateful for your patricipation on our Halloween Adventure in beautiful Romania. You had a stellar group of travelers and support team (Fantastic Four)! Hiccups ALWAYS happen, for that is life. We are not in a prepared Disney landscape, so things always come in that we are not expecting. What thrills me is that is was handled well and with care. We do hope you will be able to join us on another adventure! Be well and happy!

This was the best trip I have ever been on!! The guides were beyond amazing and the experiences truly were once in a lifetime. Kayla was an incredible trip organizer, Vlad was the best tour guide I have ever seen and together they made the trip unforgettable for everyone! I will absolutely be traveling with Mysterious Adventure Tours in the future and will be bringing many friends along.

We look forward in helping realize more mysterious explorations around the world, Russell. You're the best!
