Geography & Nature

From Galway: Aran Islands (Inis Mhor) – 10 hrs day trip including return mini coach hire to/from Rossavel ferry port & return ferry crossing to Inis Mhor

Overview

Here, on the very edge of Europe, is an island rich in the language, culture and heritage of Ireland, unique in its geology and archaeology and in its long tradition of gentle hospitality. Here is a place to sense the spirit of Gaelic Ireland, to touch the past, but with all the comforts and facilities of the present. Aran will take groups back to an Ireland of Celts and early christians. This is an island of great peace and tranquillity, but it is also an island of great fun and activity. A timeless land in an endless sea, weathered monuments on awesome cliffs, great labyrinths of limestone, meandering walls, patchwork fields, quiet beaches and a welcoming island people, this is Aran in Galway bay on the west coast of Ireland.
