Lough Corrib & Inchagoill Island

Lough Corrib is the largest lake in the Republic of Ireland and is home to hundreds of islands, an abundance of wildlife and thousands of years of history. Come with us on a trip around the lake to find out about some of this history, enjoy the stunning scenery of the Connemara mountain ranges, explore around some of the beautiful islands of Lough Corrib and experience a high speed boat trip to remember.

​

Inchagoill Island is one of the largest wooded islands on Lough Corrib and is situated halfway between Cong and Oughterard. The island is famous for having provided sanctuary to Saint Patrick for a number of years with his nephew, Lugnad, who remained on the island when Saint Patrick left. While on the island with us you can visit his grave which is known as Lugnad's Stone. This stone pillar is in the shape of a rudder as Lugnad was said to be Saint Patrick's navigator and is credited with bringing Saint Patrick to the island.

​

Also on the island are 2 ancient churches that you can visit, one from the 5th century called 'Teampall Phádraig' or St. Patrick's Church and the other one from the 12th century called 'Teampall na Naoimh' or Church of the Saints. These churches, a grave yard and an abandoned village are all a short walk from the pier that we land at on the island.

Our boat is a Rigid Inflatable Boat, or RIB for short. It is 8.4 metres, or nearly 30 feet long, and is powered by a yamaha diesel engine. Our boat is extremely stable, comfortable, safe and has been thoroughly inspected by the Marine Survey Office prior to being issued with a licence from the Department of Transport.
