While visiting Galway be sure to take to the water on a unique and fun cruise. It’s a wonderful experience and a great way to explore beautiful Galway from its inland waterways and along the shoreline of Galway Bay. Luckily there are many fantastic boat operators offering fun-filled cruise experiences which allow you to sit back, relax and enjoy the sights. 

You will find spectacular cruises to include; sailing along the River Corrib, Europe’s fastest flowing river; exploring the Christian ruins of Inchagoill Island on Lough Corrib, the second largest lake on the island of Ireland; sailing on Galway Bay in a traditional Galway Hooker boat; or exploring the spectacular Killary Fjord, one of only three fjords in Ireland.

Not only is a river or boat cruise a great way to relax and watch the world go by, it’s also a great way to learn about the history of the area from the many notable places of interest you see as you pass. So don’t miss the opportunity to explore the waterways of Galway, learn about history and tradition, and see hidden gems that are not easily accessible otherwise.
