Sail Year-Round to the Aran Islands with Aran Island Ferries

The Aran Islands

The Aran Islands offer visitors a glimpse into a way of life that has long since disappeared from most of the world. Filled with traditional Irish culture, the islands offer breath-taking scenery, ecclesiastical ruins and world-renowned stone forts. Depending on which island you visit, the ferry journey is approximately 40-minutes from Rossaveel, Connemara and 90-minutes from Galway City.

The best way to get to the Aran Islands is on our Aran Islands Ferry from Rossaveel, Connemara or Galway City. The fastest ferry from Galway is our sailing from Rossaveel, Connemara to Inis Mór. These three rocky limestone outcrops are a bastion of traditional language, culture, music and history on the edge of Europe. Regular music sessions, lively dances, traditional crafts, sea-going currachs and the wonderfully warm and welcoming Atlantic spirit, are inimitable parts of Aran.

Prepare for a warm Irish welcome onboard our Aran Islands Ferry, and admire the rugged landscape and views of Galway Bay. Passengers can enjoy tea, coffee, snacks and full bar facilities during their 40-minute journey with Aran Island Ferries.
