Relax and Unwind in Connemara

Fly into the home of Duty Free – Shannon Airport – to travel North to enjoy some fresh air at The Cliffs of Moher.

Either enjoy it from the Visitor Centre or your guide can take you to a private farmer’s land for a better view. Continue your drive to your peaceful river getaway, Ballynahinch Castle. While more of a manor, this is truly one of the coziest places you will find in Connemara National Park. With your first full day, we suggest a leisurely morning breakfast before enjoying their Wilderness Saunas and natural cold plunge, the lake! Once you have recovered, come back to enjoy lunch in their pub before meeting the falconer for a demonstration or a ghillie to fish the river. Your next day, meet your driver guide to drive through Connemara National Park – filled with sheep and dramatic views. We suggest asking your guide about the infamous female private, Grace O’Malley! With your final day in the area, head to Galway and take the ferry to Inisheer, one of the Aran Islands. Here you will hop on electric bikes and zip around the island before settling in with a cup of tea or pint at the local pub.
