The Rugged Aran Islands lie Just outside Galway Bay and just miles from the Clare coast and the Cliffs of Moher on the West coast of Ireland.

You will need to take a short ferry ride to get to the Islands.

With 3 Islands more commonly known as Inishmor, Inisheer & Inishmann the Aran Islands offer visitors a glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared from most of the country. The Islands' raw beauty and charm leaves visitors longing to return again and again.

With breath-taking scenery, ecclesiastical ruins from early Christian times, medieval castles, cliffs, prehistoric stone forts (including the famous DĂșn Aonghasa (Dun Aengus) ring fort), sandy beaches, clean air, unique flora and fauna and a rich folklore that the islanders are proud to recount.
