Near Leeane is Killary Harbour - which is both a scenic and safe haven for visiting boats and yachts. The Killary, as it is more commonly called is truly unique in that it is Ireland's only fjord. Enjoy this beautiful and unique landscape by taking a cruise on the sheltered waters of the fjord with Sea-Cruise Connemara, who offer four daily sailngs on their luxury catamaran.
Step back in time as you sail past the many deserted villages, abondoned since Famine times, which dot the Northren shore of the Fjord. Admire the rugged landscape of Mweelrea, the highest mountain in Connacht. As your cruise takes you to the mouth of the fjord, if you are lucky you may happen upon the resident school of dolphins which can regularly be seen there

Leenane Cultural centre will tell you a lot about the history of wool making.
They also have a pretty well-stocked gift shop and a nice tea room. Full wheelchair access.
