The Aran Islands close off Galway Bay, and the biggest, Inis Mór, can be done in a day from the city. Aran Island Ferries sails all year round from Rossaveel, on the Connemara coast, and takes about 40 minutes; a shuttle bus takes you from Victoria Place, in the centre of Galway. Return boat fare, €34 per adult; bus, €10 extra.
On the island, the usual thing is to hire a bike at the harbour or take a minibus up to Dún Aonghasa, a prehistoric stone fort at the edge of a dizzying cliff. Bring warm clothes: the wind always blows on the island.
