Learn more about Aran Islands

An undoubted highlight of the Wild Atlantic Way are the Aran Islands, and places don’t come much more wild, or immersed in the Atlantic waters, than this chain of three dramatically isolated land masses. Set just off Galway Bay in the west of Ireland, and visible from the coastline for miles around, the islands exert an irresistible lure to those with a taste for adventure and act like sirens of the sea to those with an urge to escape from it all.
