Top 7 3-Hour Experiences in Ireland

1.Guided tour of Connemara with 3 hour stop at Connemara National Pk.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 561 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Spend a full day from Galway exploring Connemara, Sky Road, Galway Bay, and your choice of Diamond Hill or Kylemore Abbey.

“Lovely day tour from Galway. Mike, our bus driver and tour guide was so engaging and informative - we learned a TON within minutes of setting off, and over the course of the day. We originally wanted to do the hike but were unlucky with poor weather! The abbey and grounds were impressive though and definitely worth it, so if you’re in the same boat and run into clouds and rain on yours, don’t worry! Plenty to see and do, and definitely take Mike’s advise on how to tackle exploring the abbey grounds. 10/10, would recommend.”
