- Departure from Sea Breeze Lodge 9.30 AM

No holiday to Ireland would be complete without a trip to the mystical
Aran Islands that are situated in the middle of Galway Bay.
Rossaveal is the departure point for the ferryboats to the Aran Islands.
The rugged, natural beauty along with
thatch roofed stone cottages that dot the islands provide a splendid
example of Celtic and early Christian heritage and gives one the impression that they have just traveled back in time.
Inis Mor is the biggest of the three islands, covering approximately sixteen square miles. Situated on the west coast of Galway, about thirty miles out in the Atlantic Ocean, the island offers a whole new meaning to the word 'Paradise'. Each island proudly sustains a year long population. Inis Mor has a population of approximately 900 people which grows in the summer-time, becoming a mixture of islanders, mainland locals and holidaymakers.

With the archaeological sites, some dating back 2,500 years, it's hard to believe that the island actually had a form of civilisation.
The forts, churches and monasteries will leave you in bewildered awe at how people lived on this rock infested island. The islanders still speak their native language but will have no problem in communicating in English.
While a lot of island-income comes from the fishing industry, most islanders make
their money from tourism and therefore the summer months are vital in terms of comfortable living throughout the rest of the year.
Inis Mór is the most developed island in terms of tourist facilities while still retaining a sense of old world living and a peaceful atmosphere.
Whether you visit Inis Mór to relax or to work, to study flowers or to take pictures,
(or simply just to have the craic), you'll find that it is a unique place that creates an indescribable sense within, that artists and writers have been expressing so well throughout the years.
