What to expect

Discover top attractions including Leenane Village and Kylemore Abbey on this day trip to Connemara from Galway. Travel to Connemara as your guide sheds light on the region’s rich heritage and spectacular natural scenery. Visit attractive landmarks such as Killary Fjord and Kylemore Abbey, and gain insight into Ireland’s heritage.

Departing from Galway you will drive through the countryside toward Connemara, a region which is famed for its natural beauty and landscapes. Your expert guide will share their knowledge of the history of the region and once you've arrived you'll have the opportunity to explore the landmarks independently. You'll discover rivers and lakes that flow off The Twelve Pins Mountain Range which naturally shape this region.

In the village of Leenane, you will stand at the mouth of Killary Fjord, Ireland’s only natural fjord which serves as the natural border between the counties of Galway and Mayo. Your tour will then move onto Kylemore Abbey, which is situated on a lake in the midst of the mountains. Explore the Victorian castle, which is now owned and run by Benedictine nuns, the miniature Gothic Church and the award-winning Victorian Walled Gardens.

The final stop will be An Spidéal, a charming Gaeltacht (Irish Speaking) village, home to houses with traditionally thatched roofs, with scenic coastlines and beautiful beaches. This is an opportunity to strech your legs and take in the sea air. Your tour concludes in Galway city centre.
