Inis Mor | The Aran Islands | Galway Bay
Come with us on our day trip to the Aran Island of Inis Mor!
The Aran Islands are a group of three islands situated off Galway Bay.
You can reach them easily from GALWAY with different day trips (you might also like the idea to stay the night on the island, no added costs only inform your tour operator that you'll take the ferry the day after!).
From Galway city center we took the bus for approximately 40 min, then dropped us at the ferry's terminal, other 40 min on the ferry and we arrived on Inis Mor. We decided to rent the bikes from the local bike hire for 10 euro (5 euro deposit). It was pretty easy cycling around the island, even if we only had 6 hours to wonder around and eat, we managed to see almost everything!
Both the cliffs and the Worm Hole were breathtaking!
Definitely suggested for everyone travelling to Ireland or Galway.
