Highlights
-
Cliffs of Moher - The return journey from the Aran Island , a guided cruise alongside the foot of the Cliffs of Moher, is a spectacular journey which puts the 214m high, 8 km long cliffs into perspective.
At the arrival at the Cliffs of Moher ,as a guest of Aran Tour Company, you will receive free entry to the cliffs and the eco-sensitive visitor centre. Take a stroll along the cliff edge and consider how tiny everything looks from above! - Inisheer - Inisheer (the smallest and most vibrant of the Aran Islands) is only a 30 minute sailing from Doolin and attractions include ancient churches and castles, one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches, a modern playground and several pubs and cafes, lighthouses and shipwrecks! Take a pony and trap, hire a bicycle or stroll the peaceful boreens.
- Doolin - We visit the quaint fishing village of Doolin to enjoy some lunch.

Additional Information
Join us on this exciting coach journey as we travel southwards along the dramatic Wild Atlantic Way, moving into the unique, moon-like landscape of the Burren region. Our trek takes us to charming Doolin, a scenic fishing hamlet where you will board a swift ferry** bound for Inisheer (Inis Oirr). Inisheer, only a brief sail away from Doolin, presents a myriad of attractions for your perusal. A professionally led boat tour at the base of the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher promises an exhilarating experience.
You can then refuel with a robust meal at a traditional pub in the locality before we reach the Cliffs of Moher. Be prepared to marvel at the panoramic perspectives from the cliff edge, as everything below appears minuscule.
Upon our exit from the cliffs, the journey home will be along the coastal road, tracing the path of the Wild Atlantic Way, before a final halt at the striking Baby Cliffs in Ballyreen. This is your chance to tread on the Burren.

Do this tour!!! - We went on 5 tours during our trip and this was, by far, the best! Tommy was everything you could want in a tour guide - funny, informative, friendly. The island and the Cliffs were gorgeous. The day was very well planned and ran smoothly. Highly recommend!

Great Tour! - This was an absolutely amazing tour. Great price for an all day experience visiting the Aran islands and the Cliffs of Moher. We were able to bike around, see some popular sites, and walk on the beach of Inishneer island. Then we hopped on a ferry to see the Cliffs of Moher from below. Grabbed a quick bite to eat at a local pub and then we were off to the Cliffs of Moher which were beautiful and we saw puffins! Dave was our tour guide for the day and he was fantastic. Very knowledgeable about the area and was cracking the jokes! Even just the ride to and from had many sites to see such as cows, sheep, donkeys, castles, and rolling hills. Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend to anyone staying in Galway.

Wonderful experience! - The bus was on time. Our driver, PJ, was the perfect amount of jovial and informative. He also was a superb driver. The sights were everything we hoped they’d be. Just the right amount of time at each location.

An Unforgettable Day - This was an incredible day. The Cliffs of Moher was possibly the most beautiful place I have ever been. I will remember these absolutely stunning views for the rest of my life and getting to see the Cliffs from the sea as well as from above was just priceless. Our driver, PJ, was funny, knowledgeable and helped make the whole experience perfect!

Amazing bucket list experience - Our driver Dave started our tour with colourful and factual stories, exceptional driving and treats. The Aran Islands were enjoyable but the of Moyer were the star. Both the ferry ride in front of the cliffs and the top views were breathtaking
Dave entertained us with excellent music and had us all singing along. Best tour experience thanks to Dave

Ideal Day Trip from Galway - A beautiful day trip from Galway. Pickup is early in the morning for a drive out to the Aran Islands, then a cruise past, and walk on, the Cliffs of Moher. Lunch in Doolin follows, which was logistically challenging. We had 45 minutes and only went to a pub that didn't have a vegan option, unfortunately. Dave was a chatty and amiable driver and guide in our comfortable tour bus. Highly recommended if you're in Galway.

Geat tour, great guide - Fantastic. Great your all round. Your not too long doing one thing, so it doesn't feel too long, although I could see a few sleepy heads by the end. Dave was an excellent guide. Speaking and explaining where necessary and letting the landscape speak at other times. He also made sure everyone knew meeting times and places. Would happily do the tour again!
