Fly from Galway to Inishmore, the largest of the legendary Aran Islands and an outpost of Gaelic culture. Soak up the rugged beauty accentuated by miles of dry-stone walls, the thatched roofs of traditional cottages, and prehistoric forts. Learn of the local customs from your knowledgeable guide.

Leave the buzz of Dublin and speed across Ireland on the train heading for Galway and Connemara Airport. After your brief flight across the bay, touch down on Inishmore and prepare to gain insight into traditional Gaelic culture. Take some free time over lunch in Kilronan village to experience life on Inishmore firsthand. Observe how those that live here are preserving their Gaelic values as well as the Irish language (Gaeilge).

Head out to Dún Aengus — a 2,000 year old stone fortress perched on a cliff. Take inspiration from its dramatic location as the powerful Atlantic Ocean crashes into the rock face. Afterward, it’s back to Galway to explore the sights or to perhaps find some retail therapy as you wait for your train back to Dublin.
