Travel Trade & Groups
Coach & Group Tours
We are delighted to cater for coach tours and group visits of all sizes. With a rapidly growing group trade base, Glengowla Mines is fast becoming one of Connemara’s premier group travel destinations, while still offering the warm and hands-on hospitality of a family-run business.
Nowhere else will your guests find a combination of experiences quite like ours
Groups can enjoy:
• An Underground Mine Tour
• A Sheepdog Herding Demonstration
• A Traditional Turf-Cutting Demonstration
Choose all three for the full Glengowla Mines Experience, or tailor your visit to suit your group’s interests and schedule.
We also provide ample coach parking, and your driver or guide is welcome to relax with a complimentary cup of tea beside our cosy turf fire while the group enjoys their tour.
