Ditch the Apps: Try an SOS (Sick Of Swiping) Date
If you’re SOS – Sick Of Swiping – you’re not alone. Endless profiles, ghosting and awkward first meetings can make dating feel more like a chore than a chance to connect.
At Ethical Tours, we’ve created a new SOS experience for people who want to get out from behind the screen and into the fresh air. Instead of another coffee or pub date, our SOS (Sick Of Swiping) outings bring you onto the Royal Canal Greenway and nearby forest trails for an easy, low‑pressure adventure together.
You’ll move side‑by‑side rather than sit face‑to‑face, with gentle cycling or walking, plenty of stops for views and chats, and a coffee or treat from a local café. E‑bikes and relaxed pacing mean fitness isn’t a barrier – this is about connection, not competition.
Our SOS dates are also low‑carbon and local: powered by your own legs, a bit of renewable energy and the stories of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands. It’s a simple idea – less swiping, more seeing – but it can change how you feel about dating.
