Galway to Connemara National Park and Diamond Hill Full Day Tour

Connemara Day Tour Highlights

A full day, guided tour of Connemara, an area famed for it’s unspoiled natural beauty and rugged landscapes. As you travel from Galway, listen to your expert driver/guide share the origin of the Irish language and how it is still the native language of Connemara, despite its diminishing status in the rest of Ireland. Exit the coach to visit iconic Irish landmarks independently and discover rivers and lakes that flow off The Twelve Pins Mountain Range to naturally shape this majestic region. You’ll surely see reasons why Hollywood directors chose Connemara as backdrops to movies such as The Field (Written by John B. Keane, starring Richard Harris and John Hurt) and most recently, Marley & Me (Starring Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston).

Featured Stops

Leenane Village

This tiny mountain-side village is simply bursting with colorful Irish charm and overflowing with everchanging scenery. Some guests will choose to stroll out along the edges of Killary Fjord, while others will opt for an Irish Coffee or Hot Whiskey in one of the local bars.  Length of stay approx. 30 minutes

Connemara National Park & Diamond Hill

As part of the Galway to Connemara National Park and Diamond Hill Full Day Tour, you have the opportunity to spend 2 Hours at the Connemara National Park at Diamond Hill.

There are three routes to choose from, each varying in length and difficulty. There is no additional charge to enter the National Park, and there are tea rooms on site for coffee and light snacks. Please be aware that the bus and driver cannot wait any longer than the allotted 2 hour duration, so please plan your visit cautiously. Length of stay approx. 2 hours

Killary Fjord Overlook

Ireland’s only fjord serves the natural border between counties Galway and Mayo. This breathtaking vista helps tell the story of millions of years of natural geographical evolution, while also doubling as a featured photo stop. Length of stay approx 10 minutes

An Spidéal

The second half of our tour takes the Wild Atlantic Way coastal drive along South Connemara, but not without a stop at one our absolute favorite seaside villages. An Spidéal is a "gaeltacht" town where the Irish (Gaelic) language is spoken as a first language and where many Irish cultural traditionals still thrive these days. Here we get a sample of these traditions, experience a taste of sea-side living in Ireland and (if you choose to dare) dip your toes in the Atlantic Ocean.
