• The Aran Islands

The 3 islands of Inis Mór, Inis Meáin & Inis Oírr

Perhaps the most iconic of all the Irish islands, The Aran Islands, comprising of Inis Mór (Inishmore), Inis Meáin (Inishmaan), and Inis Oírr (Inisheer), are stunningly located in wild Atlantic waters at the mouth of Galway Bay.

The largest of the three, and furthest west, is Inis Mór , also known as Aranmore. The middle island, both in terms of size and location, is Inis Meáin , and the smallest and most eastern of the three is little Inis Oírr . Irish is the principal language on all three Aran Islands, and it’s use is jealously guarded by the islanders who understand its importance to both the revival of the Irish language, and to the survival of their own economy.

But, more than anything else, The Aran Islands are simply stunning, with their breath-taking vistas, extraordinary cliff scenery, wonderful music, traditional cottages, and their many many reminders of times past. For cyclists and walkers The Aran Islands are a paradise. As you make your way across their stony landscapes your mind is cleansed by the great silence which fills the space between sea and sky. The Aran Islands have an abundance of wildlife and some 437 varieties of wild flower. And if cycling is your thing, and lets face it you won’t be driving, you can hire a bicycle in lovely Kilronan village and meander wherever you wish and will. On the other hand, you may be more the “pony and trap” type, or you may wish to take a guided tour in one of the islands few minibus’s.

Things to do in The Aran Islands

On arrival you can swim in crystal clear seas, study rare flowers and wildlife, write, paint, fish, or simply relax, unwind and learn some words of Gaelic in this great repository of spoken Irish. And when the evening twilight comes, drop in for a quiet pint, and enjoy a wealth of Irish music and dance, or join in one of the spontaneous pub music sessions.

No trip to The Aran Islands would be complete without visiting the ancient fort of Dun Aengus . Dun Aengus is an extraordinary fort situated on the edge of a cliff at a height of 100 meters above the Atlantic on Inis Mór island. It consists of a series of concentric circular walls, the innermost, the citadel, enclosing an area of approximately 50 meters in diameter. The relentless Atlantic Ocean has been hammering away at the cliff face since 1100BC when the first fort constructions were built at Dun Aengus, and the fort is now half eaten by the sea, a most extraordinary and unique sight! Enjoy with care!

More Aran Islands sightseeing highlights

• Firstly, rent a bike , by far the best way to get around the Aran Islands.
• The normal conventions of polite reticence do not apply on Irish islands . You can talk to anyone you wish, and don’t be surprised if they talk to you!
• Visit Synge’s Chair . At the desolate western edge of the island, Synge’s Chair is a lookout at the edge of a sheer limestone cliff with the surf from Gregory’s Sound booming below. The cliff ledge is often sheltered from the wind, so do as Synge did and find a comfortable stone seat to take it all in. On the walk out to Synge’s Chair, a sign points the way to a “clochán”, hidden behind a house and shed.
• Pay a visit to Tobar Einne . Locals still carry out a pilgrimage known as the Turas to the Well of Enda, an ever- burbling spring in a remote rocky expanse in the southwest. The ceremony involves, over the course of three consecutive Sundays, picking up seven stones from the ground nearby and walking around the small well seven times, putting one stone down each time, while saying the rosary until an elusive eel appears from the well’s watery depths. If, during this ritual, you’re lucky enough to see the eel, it’s said your tongue will be bestowed with healing powers, enabling you to literally lick wounds…..Good luck with that!

Sail year-round to the aran islands with aran island ferries.

The Aran Islands

The Aran Islands offer visitors a glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared from most of the world. Filled with traditional Irish culture, the islands offer breath-taking scenery, ecclesiastical ruins and world-renowned stone forts. Depending on which island you visit, the ferry journey is approximately 40-minutes from Rossaveel, Connemara and 90-minutes from Galway City.

The best way to get to the Aran Islands is on our Aran Islands Ferry from Rossaveel, Connemara or Galway City. The fastest ferry from Galway is our sailing from Rossaveel, Connemara to Inis Mór. These three rocky limestone outcrops are a bastion of traditional language, culture, music and history on the edge of Europe. Regular music sessions, lively dances, traditional crafts, sea-going currachs and the wonderfully warm and welcoming Atlantic spirit, are inimitable parts of Aran.

Prepare for a warm Irish welcome onboard our Aran Islands Ferry, and admire the rugged landscape and views of Galway Bay. Passengers can enjoy tea, coffee, snacks and full bar facilities during their 40-minute journey with Aran Island Ferries.

• Pony & Trap tours typically last 3-4 hours
• Pony & Trap tours vary in cost from €20 to €50 per person.

Pony & Trap Pickup location

Pony & Trap tours on Inishmore are a unique way to explore the island. The tours begin beside Aran Bike Hire in Kilronan, the main village on Inishmore. The tours usually operate on a first come, first served basis. However, during Summer months there are plenty of pony & traps available to choose from.

The Pony & Trap tour generally lasts 3-4 hours. The tour starts in Kilronan and includes a stop at Dun Aonghasa, Inishmore seal colony and terminates in Kilronan village.

Dun Aonghasa

Dun Aonghasa is the most popular attraction on Inis Mor. Located on edge of a 300ft cliff on the south side of the island, it is a 3,000-year-old semicircular stone fort which overlooks the Atlantic Ocean with amazing views that stretch the length of the island. Dun Aonghasa is the largest of the prehistoric stone forts on the Aran Islands. It is enclosed by three massive dry-stone walls and a “chevaux-de-frise” which consists of densely populated, jagged limestone rocks which were set vertically into the ground to deter attackers. The fort is located about 900m from the Visitor Centre. and is accessed by hiking over rising ground over rough terrain and loose rocks, so hiking shoes or good walking shoes are advised. There is no fence or barrier at the edge of the cliff so please be careful.

Inishmore Seal Colony

The seal colony is located on the coast road approximately one mile from Kilmurvy beach. It is clearly signposted and has picnic tables on site, so bring a picnic lunch and take use of the available tables and chairs to enjoy it in the beautiful surroundings. The best views of the seals is best at low tide when the seals are sun bathing on the rocks. Conversely, at high tide, the seals are much harder to spot as you can only see their heads in the water. During low tide at the Inishmore seal colony anywhere from 5 – 20 seals can be spotted at a given time.

Kilronan village

Kilronan is the main village on Inishmore, and is where the ferry terminal is located. There’s one ATM on Inishmore, that is located in the SPAR Supermarket in Kilronan. The SPAR Supermarket has all the necessities for a great picnic to enjoy while exploring Inishmore. Kilronan is a great place to find some souvenirs from Inishmore as there are multiple craft shops located in the village.

Custom Horse & Carriage tours are available upon request.

Pony & Trap Cost

The Pony & Trap tours typically cost between €20-€50 per person. Most tour operators only accept cash. The traps vary in size, some of the smaller traps carry 4 people while the larger traps can carry up to 9 people.
