Discover the beautiful west coast of Ireland from a new perspective: sailing along its spectacular landscapes on a traditional Galway Hooker.
Galway Hooker Sailboat Trip from Kilkieran
After meeting at your selected time at the entrance to Coyne's Bar & Bistro in Kilkieran, we'll board a sailboat known as a Galway hooker ready to explore some of the most beautiful landscapes on the west coast of Ireland.
We'll spend two hours sailing along the coast of Connemara aboard this traditional boat. Throughout the trip, we'll learn all about the Galway hooker, used by Irish sailors to reach the Aran Islands from the mainland and known for their iconic red sails.
What's more, the crew will reveal the secrets to handling the sailboat too - will you dare to take the helm?
At the end of this unforgettable sailing trip along the Irish coast, we'll return to the original departure point in Kilkieran.
