At the mouth of Galway Bay, the Aran Islands enchant visitors with reminders of a way of life from long ago. Today, we board a ferry to cross the water to Inis Oirr, the smallest of the islands, but still large enough to be home to a three-story 16th-century castle and monuments from the Bronze age. After we explore the island on a guided tour, we’ll lunch together before our return to the mainland. If weather conditions prohibit a visit to the islands, we will instead give you the option to visit Bunratty Castle, where you will enjoy a short tour and get insight into life in an old Irish village.
Please Note: This tour is weather-dependent.
