Aran Island Ferries

Aran Island Ferries operates sailings from Rossaveal (Ros an Mhíl) in Connemara, County Galway, carrying passengers across to the Aran Islands. Rossaveal is the main mainland departure point, and a connecting coach service usually runs from Galway city to the pier.

The crossing gives fine views of the Connemara coast and Galway Bay before you arrive at the islands. Sailings are timetabled by season, so checking departures and booking ahead is advisable, particularly during the busy summer months.
