Connemara & Diamond Hill Day Trip

If you're after a pleasant day in the countryside, we've got it covered! On our Connemara & Diamond Hill Day Trip, you'll explore a beautiful natural area and walk around Diamond Hill at your leisure.

Connemara & Diamond Hill Day Trip

We will pick you up from the Hyde Hotel in Galway at 10 am and set off for Connemara. You will have a day of nature in one of Ireland's six national parks.

After an hour's drive, we will stop in the village of Leenane, where you will have free time to explore the streets and can enjoy an Irish coffee or whisky in a local pub.

Next, we will head to Killary Fjord, Ireland's only fjord, which serves as a natural border between Galway and Mayo, providing breathtaking views.

Upon arrival in Letterfrack, you will have 2 hours of free time to explore the park and hike up to Diamond Hill via one of three available routes, each with different lengths and difficulty levels. There will be an opportunity to purchase drinks and sandwiches before your hike.

After the walk, we will begin our return journey to Galway along Connemara's coastline for stunning views.

Before concluding the trip, we will pass through the Gaelic village of An Spidéal, where you will have about 15 minutes to explore and see typical thatched houses.

The day trip ends in the center of Galway at 5:30 pm when we drop you off.
