What you can expect

Prepare for a warm Irish welcome as you board the luxury vessels. Depart at 10:30 AM from the sheltered fishing harbour of Rossaveel in Connemara, Galway, and enjoy a full bar and refreshment service onboard.

Explore Inis Meáin, the quietest and most traditional of the three islands, and learn about the island's famous traditional dresses and literary associations. Admire the maze of winding roads of wildflowers blooming and wander through the rocky hillside of the south. Make a stop at the sandy beach on the north shore and soak up its calm atmosphere.

Discover the island on a self-guided tour or hop on a mini-bus tour with a local guide to explore the karst landscape. Walk in the footsteps of John Millington Synge, the dedicated author behind ‘Riders to the Sea’ and ‘The Playboy of the Western World’, based on Synge’s many travels to the isolated Aran Islands. Visit the Dun Fearbhai and Dun Chonchuir, the spectacular stone forts on the island dating back to the 1st - 7th centuries AD. Stop by the Inis Meáin Knitting Company and check out the now world-famous Aran Jumper, as seen on the catwalk for fashion houses.

Return to the harbour to board the ferry back to Connemara at 4:30 PM.
