9 3-Hour Experiences in Ireland We Would Do Twice

1.Guided tour of Connemara with 3 hour stop at Connemara National Pk.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 561 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Review of the Galway to Connemara day tour, with Sky Road, Diamond Hill or Kylemore Abbey, practical tips, costs, and honest advice.

“If you want to visit Connemara park for the hike, please go for this tour! It is the only one that gives you three hours in Connemara and you will need them. Connemara national Park has some really nice views and is a good stiff hike without being too much to handle. You really need the three hours to enjoy the full climb, otherwise you can't sit and enjoy the view or take any rests. The stops were all well planned and lasted imo the correct amount of time. My bus driver Vincent was lovely and he helped create a relaxed and jovial atmosphere.”
