Connemara day tour and Connemara National Park tour departing Galway City. Guided.

Meet your local guide in Galway and embark on a scenic journey along the Wild Atlantic Way. As you leave the city behind, the landscape transforms into a mesmerizing mix of rugged coastline and rolling countryside. Traveling along the southern shores of Galway Bay, you will pass through picturesque villages straight out of a storybook, where thatched cottages sit nestled among dry stone walls and vast stretches of blanket bog. Connemara horses gallop freely across open fields, adding to the region’s untamed beauty. The road winds through this timeless landscape before leading to Bóthar na Scragóige, one of the most remote and untouched areas in the region. Here, the vast bogland stretches as far as the eye can see, offering a profound sense of tranquility and isolation before the journey continues to the charming fishing village of Roundstone.

The journey continues to Derrygimlagh Bog, a site of historical and natural significance where Alcock and Brown completed the first transatlantic flight and Marconi’s wireless station once stood. Passing through Clifden, the capital of Connemara, the route ascends the breathtaking Sky Road, offering panoramic views of the rugged coastline and vast Atlantic Ocean. Next, choose between exploring the wild trails of Connemara National Park or discovering the romance of Kylemore Abbey with its Victorian gardens and serene lakeside setting. The return journey winds through the striking Inagh Valley, flanked by the Maumturk and Twelve Bens mountains, with final stops at the legendary Connemara Giant and the Quiet Man Bridge before arriving back in Galway City.
