Shared Tour: Connemara, Sheep Dog Show and Medieval Castle Tour
Explore the wild beauty of Connemara on a premium small-group tour from Galway. Begin at 16th-century Aughnanure Castle, where spiral staircases and hidden chambers reveal tales of the O’Flaherty clan. Journey through the dramatic Connemara landscape—past the Twelve Bens, mirrored lakes, and rugged terrain—with expert commentary along the way.
Stop in Leenane for fjord-side views and village charm. Then visit Joyce Country Farm for a live sheepdog demonstration, where trained border collies work the hillside and you can meet friendly animals like miniature ponies and goats.
End your day in Cong, a charming village known for its film legacy, riverside views, and medieval abbey. This 7.5-hour experience blends history, scenery, and Irish tradition into one unforgettable adventure.
