Additional Information

Embark on an incredible adventure along the enchanting Wild Atlantic Way, through the alien-like terrain of the Burren, and finally to the renowned Cliffs of Moher. Explore medieval ruins, tower houses from the 16th century, churches, graveyards, walls made of dry stone, docks, ports, an assortment of farm animals, and perhaps spot a leprechaun!

As you drive along Clare’s coastline, observe the raw energy of the Atlantic Ocean pummelling the shore. Take the ferry from Doolin to Inisheer, which is the smallest and closest of the Gaeltacht Aran Islands. Be on the lookout for native bottlenose dolphins that sometimes trail the ferry. Inisheer is yours to discover its ancient castles, churches, slim lanes, stone barriers and desolate white sand beaches.

The ferry ride back offers you a picturesque guided cruise beneath the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher. Upon returning to Doolin, ascend to the top of the Cliffs of Moher to enjoy a leisurely walk. Leaving the Cliffs behind, you’ll head back to Galway.

The Cliffs of Moher, the... - The Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Island boat tour as well as the Aran Island horse and buggy tour were all great experiences. The tour guide was great too!

Don’t miss this - The ride on the boat by the cliffs was awesome. Not just the sheer cliffs themselves but the many birds that nest there. It was great to see them. We took the horse and carriage ride on the island and loved going around it at that pace and listening to the driver point out things and answer our questions. Lastly Alan was a great guide. Funny, organized and polite. Just a wonderful job.

Best tour I’ve ever been on - it won’t disappoint! - This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. The tour guide was knowledgeable and friendly. The activities were perfect. I chose this tour because I wanted an up close look at the cliffs of Moher from boat. It didn’t disappoint. The additional benefits of this tour were the Aran islands and cliffs of Moher visitor center and cliff walk. Aran islands was more beautiful than I could imagine. We had such a great time meeting the locals and casually making our way throughout this small island. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a full day of fun. I made memories on this tour that will last a lifetime.

Fun tour in Ireland! - Alan was such a wonderful tour guide. He made the trip fun and informative and he had such a great sense of humor! He also helped me out big time by lending me his portable charger when my phone’s battery was running low! I was super grateful! Both the Cliffs of Moher and Inisheer island were stunning! Would highly recommend and would definitely book with Alan again.

Great Tour - A great tour with Phil and Shamus. Awesome itinerary busy but we’ll paced. So many must see locations. It’s a full loop around Galway that packs in so much. We took the buggy ride on the island which was also good.

Great choice for exploring the Cliffs - Amazing day with a wonderful tour guide! We enjoyed our day thanks to fabulous weather, incredible scenery and a very capable tour guide named Alan. He entertained us as well as educated us. We were given clear information and he answered all our questions. Doolin is a lovely little place and we stopped for lunch at Anthony’s which was fabulous. Our 8 km hike to the visitor centre was filled with jaw dropping scenery & beautiful wildflowers. We were dressed appropriately with hiking boots, etc but didn’t need our rain jackets due to the lovely weather. We were blessed. The Visitors Centre was wonderful with everything you could need as well as fabulous information. An excellent day, well worth the money. Thanks Alan for the jokes, history lessons and great experience.

Amazing day on the water - Our driver Alan was great, informative and friendly, he made sure we knew all the options for the island and gave us plenty of time to explore. The weather was amazing, ate fish and chips on the beach after exploring the island by horse carriage. Seeing the cliffs (and puffins) by water was the highlight.

Beautiful Cliffs! - Loved the cliffs, would like to have spent a little more time there and the stop at the castle for 15 minutes was not enough.
