The Aran ferry leaves Ros a Mhíl port in south Connemara and arrives in Kilronan on the island of Inis Mór, the largest of the three Aran Islands.
You can either hire bicycles to tour or take a shuttle bus to Dún Aenghusa, one of several prehistoric forts on the islands. Dún Aenghusa is on the western edge of the island and backs on to the Atlantic Ocean. ‘On a clear day you can almost see Boston, MA, or could it be the mythical Tír na nÓg – The Land of Youth?’
Day Tours
Day long tours to Connemara or Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands off Galway Bay or to the famous Cliffs of Moher in County Clare taking in the unique scenery of The Burren can be taken by special arrangement with your Tour Guide, Jim.
Irish or Gaeilge is the predominant tongue in Connemara and Áran, and Jim Ward is a fluent speaker (a Gaeilgeóir!), so it helps.
Jim’s knowledge of Irish placenames and their origins (Logainmneacha) comes into play on these trips
These bespoke tours are more suitable for groups as bus travel and ferry bookings need to be arranged in advance.
