Inis Oírr (Aran Islands) Day Trip: Return Ferry from Rossaveel, Galway
Inis Oírr (Inisheer), the smallest of the Aran Islands, is home to numerous historical attractions and has the atmosphere of a small fishing village.
Hop on a mini-bus tour or pony and trap and explore the island with a local guide. Bike hire is also available on the island, along with pubs, restaurants and a white sandy beach with shimmering waters, worthy of a quick dip!
Prepare for a warm Irish welcome as you board the luxury vessels and enjoy full bar service and refreshments during your 50-minute trip to Inis Oírr.
