Galway to Aran Islands Inisheer, Doolin, Cliffs of Moher Day Tour
Description
This unforgettable day tour departs Galway at 9:00 AM, travelling by coach along the scenic Wild Atlantic Way and through the rocky limestone landscape of the Burren to the charming village of Doolin. From there, take the express ferry to Inisheer, the smallest and most traditional of the Aran Islands. Explore a 10th-century castle ruin, a sunken church, a shipwreck, and a peaceful beach. Walk the island’s quiet boreens or rent a bike or pony & trap for a more immersive experience (extra cost). After your island adventure, the ferry returns to Doolin and continues with a spectacular cruise beneath the towering Cliffs of Moher, a truly unique view of one of Ireland’s most iconic natural landmarks. Prefer not to cruise? You can disembark at Doolin Pier and wait for the group. Next, enjoy a traditional Irish pub meal (not included), then spend an hour exploring the top of the Cliffs and admire the vista. We return to Galway via the stunning coastal route, arriving back around 7:30 PM.

Patrick was a great guide! Loved this tour.
Our guide Patrick was very educational and funny. We had a large group so it was always made clear to us how important our timing was to make sure we saw everything
We had a awesome driver on our tour. He was excellent at story telling and very informative. Value for money tour. Dress with water resistance jacket. The Atlantic can get a bit rough so be prepared. The day is going to be a long one so take snacks if you travelling with kids.
This was a very good tour. Guests should be prepared to spend cash traveling around the island. They’re not going to have credit card readers for that.
Tour was great and David was very informative and keep us posted on just about everything that we could do and expect.
This was a great stress-free way to experience some of the top sites in western Ireland. Our guide was knowledgeable and personable.
Excellent experience with wonderful information as we travelled throughout the day. Our driver was professional, friendly and humorous! A long day, but a great one! It was a highlight of our trip.
Our tour guide, Dave, was excellent. He kept us entertained and was attentive to the group. We were so lucky to have a beautiful day! The tour was a highlight of our trip!
We had a fantastic day with a fantastic driver, Patrick. Clearly loved his country and clearly knew all about it. Drove us safely and smoothly, explained much as we drove, and made the whole day very memorable and enjoyable, with a great sense of humour. Thank you. Are you recommended.
We were fortunate to have Tommy as our driver and guide. What a seasoned driver! Hearing him throughout the journey was entertaining, funny, very relevant, and fascinating. For us, Quebecers, his voice and descriptions of the country's fascinating history are the equivalent of our "Charles Tisseyre," which is so appreciated. What a pleasant, warm, funny, and caring company all day long. Thank you.
