Advice on How to Explore Connemara- traveling from Galway with No Car

Will be staying in Galway for 3 nights in May, and are planning to do a day trip one of the days we're there to Connemara. We will be relying on public transportation to get us there. Can we explore Connemara successfully without a car? Goal of going there is to see all the gorgeous landscapes/water, etc....and be in the outdoors as opposed to just exploring in the city. We are into hiking, but Im not sure what the best hike option would be? We're in shape, but my husband doesn't love difficult hikes. We can walk for hours, he just prefers not to be practically climbing a mountain.

Any advice on what to do/where to go or which hikes to take would be greatly appreciated!

I too was going to suggest a day tour. You can check with a local Tourist information place when u get there for good hiking options. Or check with the proprieters of the B&B you are staying at.
