| THE ROAD-BOOK TO GET TO INISHBOFIN IF YOU OWN A CAR
|
|
|
To get to Inishbofin, you must depart from the pier in Cleggan, located northwest of Clifden. The route takes you from Galway across Connemara on one of the most beautiful roads in Ireland (the road from Galway to Clifden via Maam Cross). This road separates Connemara into two parts, showing two quite different faces: in the south there is a flat landscape of lakes, in the north there is the dramatic landscape of mountains (The Twelve Pins). From Clifden, the historic capital of Connemara, take the road for Cleggan and then, on to the pier. |

FERRIES FROM CLEGGAN TO

really advised to use a ferry to get to there!
There are three ferries operating: the Dun Aengus, the Queen of Aran and the Kingfisher.

The Kingfisher, owned and run by Johnny
King from Cleggan, is the smallest (12 passengers) and fastest boat (approx. 35 minutes)
to Inishbofin. It will run a taxi-type service to the island at any time. |
