Route guide

Plan your ferry from Inisheer to Rossaveel

The Inisheer to Rossaveel crossing connects Inisheer and Rossaveel in Ireland.

For a departure from Inisheer, start by locating the ferry terminal and checking how to reach the correct boarding point. Inis Oírr, the smallest of the three main Aran Islands, reached by passenger ferry from the Galway area. Stone walls, Atlantic scenery and a small harbour define the island’s character.

On the other side of the crossing, Rossaveel is your arrival port. Connemara ferry harbour west of Galway and the principal mainland gateway for frequent Aran Islands services. The harbour is functional rather than urban, so many passengers base themselves in Galway and travel out for the sailing.

Compare the Inisheer departure and Rossaveel arrival on the same dated itinerary. Sailing times and intermediate calls can differ between directions, so use the Inisheer to Rossaveel result when planning your trip rather than assuming the outward timetable applies in reverse.

Check the total cost for everyone travelling, including any vehicle, reserved seat, cabin or other option offered. A later arrival in Rossaveel may affect your next connection or accommodation, so compare the whole journey as well as the fare.
