Full Description

Experience one of the most scenic boat tours in Ireland as you sail through the spectacular waters of Killary Fjord, a magnificent glacial inlet stretching between Counties Galway and Mayo. Surrounded by rugged mountains and untouched countryside, this 90-minute cruise offers some of the finest views along Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way.

 

Departing from Nancy's Point near Leenane, you'll travel deep into the fjord while enjoying informative commentary that brings the surrounding landscape to life. Hear stories of ancient Irish legends, local folklore, historic settlements and the unique geology that created this remarkable natural harbour thousands of years ago.

 

Along the journey you'll pass traditional mussel farms, modern salmon aquaculture and remote valleys only accessible by water. The surrounding mountains provide a spectacular backdrop throughout the cruise, while lucky visitors may also spot dolphins swimming alongside the boat, seals resting along the shoreline or seabirds soaring overhead.

 

The purpose-built vessel offers spacious indoor seating with panoramic windows as well as covered outdoor viewing decks, making this an enjoyable experience in almost any weather. An onboard café and licensed bar serve light meals, refreshments and locally sourced seafood, allowing you to relax while taking in one of Ireland's most iconic landscapes.

 

Perfect for couples, families, photographers and nature lovers, the Killary Fjord Boat Tour is one of the top things to do in Connemara and an essential stop on any Wild Atlantic Way itinerary.
