From Galway: Connemara National Park Full Day Tour

1. From Galway: Connemara National Park Full Day Tour

Escape the hustle and bustle of Galway on this guided tour to Connemara National Park. Learn about the traditions, music, and language of the region before enjoying free time to explore the park and hike Diamond Hill. Start by meeting at the meeting point or making use of the free pickup option. En route to and from the park, your driver will break up the journey by making frequent photo and coffee stops and allowing you to soak in as much of Connemara as you can. With the help of your driver-guide, learn all you need to know about the region and plan how you'll spend your time at the Connemara National Park. Plus, get a chance to hear some local traditional music. Upon arrival at the park, your driver will explain your return time with you before you enjoy free time for two hours. Shortly after arriving, prepare for a hike on Diamond Hill. There are three primary hiking routes at the National Park, each varying in difficulty and length. Each route starts and finishes at a welcome center and cafe/tea rooms. After the two hours of hiking, meet your driver at the predetermined drop-off point and start to make your way back to Galway. The return route shows you the coastal side of Connemara, providing a different view from the outbound route.

What people are saying about Galway

Easy to book, took the ferry from Rossaveel. Can be expensive for the ferry as only a short journey . Then with bike hire on top too . Definitely hire bikes though once on the island to cycle it, it’s truly beautiful. The electric bikes are great unless your super fit . Locals are friendly, aswell as the cows , horses & donkeys your see around the island. Oh & the seals. It’s a must do trip when in Ireland.

Has a really great day in the Connemara National Park. Our tour guide John was amazing, told us a lot about the hills and the animals in the park and we could always ask him anything. Definitely a more than fair price for what you get. Thanks so much! All in one it was one of the best experiences that I made in Ireland!

10/10 tour, our group was really small so we got to do, see, and learn a lot. John (our guide) made the experience everything that it was. He was super personable and kept the day lively. Highly recommend!

I had seen the other 2 island and was anxious to see Inishmore, enjoyed it totally with our tour guide, am not disappointed for my fifth time in Ireland

The experience was great. The driver was so nice and taught full
