Aran Island Ferries - Tá fáilte romhat.
Located in the heart of Galway Bay, the
Aran Islands offer visitors a glimpse into a way of life
that has long since disappeared from most of the county. The
Islands’ raw beauty and charm leaves visitors longing to
return again and again. While the South –West coast of the
island battles with the Atlantic, the North- East coast
offers smooth passage for visitors between the mainland at
Ros a' Mhíl and the Islands.
The Aran Islands’ seems to defy their size by all
they have to offer: breath-taking scenery, ecclesiastic ruins
from early Christian times, medieval castles, cliffs,
prehistoric stone forts (including the famous Dún Aonghasa ring
fort), sandy beaches, clean air, unique flora and fauna, and a
rich folklore that the islanders are proud to recount.

Cúrsálann sibh go Oileáin Árann - we cruise to the Aran Islands
Oileáin Árann Díreach is a company which strongly promotes the Aran Islands and arranges transportation to all three Aran Islands by either ferry or plane. The original ferry service was
provided by one of the traditional Galway Hookers, ‘An Tónaí’,
which is still treasured by the O'Brien family but now is only used to compete
in the famous ‘Galway Hooker Races’. There is still huge
interest in Hooker racing among both young and old and four
of these races (and their accompanying festivals) take place
on the islands every year; two on Inis Mór and one each on
Inis Meáin and Inis Oírr.
Oileáin Árann Díreach staff are happy to
advise visitors on any aspect of their trip from accommodation,
bike hire or mini-bus tours to evening meals and in conjunction with Aonchlic Éire can arrange same. Sail in comfort
and luxury with Oileáin Árann Díreach or allow us to arrange your flights, and let us help you
experience the Magic that is Aran.
