  • If you want to go to the ARAN ISLES - don't take the ferryboat from DOOLIN - the ship waits outside, and you will be carried by small tenderboats to the ferry.This takes about 1 hour to fill the ship.The mooring is very slippery and wet there and a saw quite a few people slipping into the water when entering the tenderboats.
    You could fly from Spiddle (15km west of Galway) or take the ferry from Galway or Rossaveel (30km west)

     how to get there when you lost the last tour bus?

     when were you last there, 1962? I was there in the spring of 2008, it was nothing at all like that. Large ferry that boarded from the pier.

     In its own way, that is a beautiful area, despite its stoniness and lack of trees.
