Walking the Hidden Ways with Oliver
I have visited Inis Mór many times now. It is the largest of the three Aran Islands in Galway Bay, western Ireland. Guided by Oliver Faherty, whose family have lived on the island for generations, I have wandered off the beaten track having wonderful experiences in this ancient landscape. Oliver is a man of the land, a builder of stone walls, a farmer of the soil. He knows where the thin places are, the sacred wells and holy places, the pagan sites and hidden lore. Fluent in Irish and English, he interprets this ancient place and makes it come alive. We have tramped boreens to iron age forts; hiked the limestone hills to the Wormhole; driven little lanes to old oratories and temples; and taken in the views over thousands of miles of stone walls and thousands of years of history. If you make the crossing to Inis Mór, take a raincoat and a flask. Wear your walking boots and ring Oliver. He will show you HIS island.
Great time
The boat ride can be rough. Bring Dramamine with you. There are no pharmacies on the island! Once on the island though, it’s beautiful.
Excellent ferry service!
Absolutely perfect from start to finish. The lads went above & beyond for us. They took my two daughters into the controls room & let them sit in the captains seats! Aodan in particular was spectacular,he then took us down to the bar and got us drinks,treats or what ever we needed. Spacious,clean boat. The crossing was very smooth. Would highly recommend aranisland ferries & will certainly be availing of them on our next visit!
fun trip to aran islands
easy nice trip - well organized - bus from depot in galway to ferry terminal - ferry was clean, pleasant and comfortable seats - the staff was welcoming and friendly - the island was interesting and worth visiting - a taste of ancient ireland
Great day trip!
Great full day trip. Leaves dock in Galway @ 930am, arrives Inish Mor @ 11:00am. Smooth ride. Helpful & friendly crew. Leaves island @ 330pm, ride past Cliffs of Moher, return to Galway @ 6pm. Definitely recommend either ebike or hop on/hop off bus, island is hilly and unless you want a workout do not get a regular bike or expect to see much by walking.
