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.

Your Tour Ambassador

Paranormal Investigator, 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!
