Itinerary
Your tour begins at Foster Street, outside the Hyde Hotel
Arrive early in Galway City Centre and meet your driver-guide on Foster Street outside the Hyde Hotel. Get settled on the coach as you head west toward the wild and rugged landscape of Connemara National Park.
Follow the road into Connemara’s lake country
Leave the city behind and pass commuter villages and quiet farmland as the landscape turns wilder. Along the way, your guide shares history about Connemara, as well as local folklore, and Irish-language insights tied to the region.
Pause for photos in villages and mountain scenery
Stop at scenic pull-offs to capture classic Connemara views, from rivers and thatched cottages to the Twelve Bens, a mountain range of mostly sharp-peaked quartzite summits and ridges. Use these breaks to stretch your legs, breathe in the Atlantic air, and reset for the next drive.
Stop for a break in Leenane village
Pull into Leenane, a small village set between mountains and water, for a coffee-and-snack break. Browse local shops if time allows, then rejoin the coach for the short drive to one of the area’s biggest viewpoints.
Take in the Killary Fjord viewpoint
Step off the coach at a fjord overlook for big, wind-swept views across Killary, Ireland’s only fjord. Your guide explains how glaciers shaped this landscape. Then take time for photos before moving on to your next destination.
