A trip to the Aran Islands is something everybody should do at least once. Here's everything you need to know- where to eat, stay and see. The Aran Islands are three rocky isles - Inis Mór (Inish-more), Inis Meáin (Inish-maan), and Inis Oírr (Inish-eer)-that guard the mouth of Galway Bay.
Inis Mór is the largest island and is the most popular spot for holidaymakers, but whichever island you decide to go to, you will be treated to rugged beauty, strong Irish heritage and golden beaches.

Aran Island Ferries offers an all-year-round service, or you also have the option to conveniently travel to the islands from Galway City.
