    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.

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.

Aran and Moher - a day in heaven - Leaving from Galway at 9am, this was a full-day trip that was worth every moment. Our guide, red-haired John orchestrated the day perfectly. In dulcet tones on the bus, he explained and entertained and drove with aplomb - no easy feat. Midway through the day, we were handed off to go on a memorable trip to the Aran Islands. The trip was outstanding in every way.

A day we will never forget - It was a sunny day when John, our bus driver and guide carried us through the fantastic Irish landscape. While driving he told us a lot about the country, its history, made a lot of jokes and we listened to Irish music. First we went by boat to Inisheer Island later along the Cliffs of Moher. After a delicious lunch we climbed the cliffs. Absolutely happy and tired we went along the wild Atlantic coastal road back to Galway. Everything was absolutely well organized and John was fantastic guide. Thank you very much, John.🤩

Picturesque Aran slands and gorgeous cliffs of Moher - It is worth it - definitely. Amezing countryside on the way and adventure on the cruse boat - you never know if the wave splashes on you or not. And the breathtaking view of the cliffs....

Beautiful views and great company! - Our driver and guide, Dave made a wonderful day even better. The views were breathtaking and seeing the cliffs from the water before going to the top was helpful in navigating. The lunch stop was efficient and good! There’s a very nice garden behind McGann’s - check it out after lunch if you have time!

Anthony, our guide, was amazing! - Our tour guide, Anthony, was exceptional. We missed the cruise that we had scheduled and Galway Tours was kind enough to allow us to take the bus tour on the same day! 😊 Very grateful for their kindness and hospitality. I would recommend taking a tour with them and if you get Anthony as your guide you have the luck of the Irish. 🍀🇮🇪
