All Aboard
No visit to Connemara would be complete without a visit
to Killary Harbour. Recognised as Ireland’s only Fjord,
this nine mile long inlet boasts some of the finest
scenery in the West of Ireland, and because of it’s
sheltered nature it’s waters are always calm. Our
purpose-built vessel, which can accommodate up to 150
passengers, was designed to offer a maximum of comfort
and safety to our guests, and also to allow them
uninterrupted views of the spectacular scenery which
makes Killary Harbour such a unique place to visit.
Deck top seating is available to those who wish to
experience the trip in the great outdoors.
Alternatively, our well-appointed interior saloon allows
you to enjoy a meal, a snack or beverage as you watch
the natural beauty of Killary pass by.
Once you have stepped on board, our qualified staff will
act as your guides, introducing you to the history of
the area and to the fjordal landscape which is unique to
this part of Ireland. Seals, otters, wild goats and many
species of seabirds can be observed in their natural
habitat. Of particular interest are a local school of
dolphins which can often be seen from the boat,
providing a lively display of diving and dancing !
You will also be able to observe the workings of a
mussel farm and a salmon farm. The sea bus will stop at
the salmon farm to give passengers the opportunity to
watch the fish being fed. |
