Ireland's Iconic Duo: Cliffs of Moher & Aran Islands Cruise
No address available
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.

Tommy was an excellent tour guide and a total pro. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area/history with a great sense of humor. Even with bad weather and a traffic incident causing delays on the way home - it was a phenomenal experience I would recommend to anyone visiting Ireland/Galway. I suggest bringing Dramamine, a rain coat, and lots of layers! 10/10 experience :)

We had an amazing day. The bus was clean, comfortable and on time. Dave was an incredible driver and guide. He shared interesting stories and facts about Ireland. He also has a great playlist. Unfortunately we couldn't go to Aran Island due to the weather, but Dave worked in a few other stops to make the trip worth it. The bar in Doolin had good food as recommended by Dave. Cliffs of Moher was amazing. Highly recommended trip!

This was one of our favorite excursions! We did the haunting car ride around Inisheer and toured the Cliffs of Moher by sea and land. So beautiful! Our driver was great!

We did this tour on 27/10 and thoroughly enjoyed it despite the wet and very windy weather. Patrick was a very careful driver and perfect guide and had a very funny way of telling his stories. Unfortunately, due to the bad weather, the cruise part of our tour had to be cancelled, no one's fault. Strongly recommend this tour if you're on a short trip to Western Ireland.

Well planned and executed. It's a memorable experience, especially the wild atlantic sail was awesome .

Dave was a great driver and guide. The day we went the ocean was extremely choppy and it was rainy and blustery. It was still well worth the trip + it cleared up at the cliffs which provided spectacular views.

Excellent tour. Hitting all the great spots. The ferry ride by the cliffs of Moher was a spectacular experience and sights. The weather was cold and raining. Dress accordingly. The views were still well worth it. Dave the driver and tour guide was excellent, safe driver, and very informative.

We had such a great day! We absolutely loved this tour – the scenery was stunning, and we were lucky to have beautiful weather too. Dave, our guide, really added to the experience with his great sense of humor and all the interesting information he shared. We can only recommend this tour – it’s a must-do!

My husband and I took the Doolin, Aran island and Cliffs of Mohr tour. It was a cloudy, cool and rainy day but our tour guide, Dave made it a wonderful adventure. The scenery is breath taking to Doolin. Dave pointed out local points of interest as well as stopping to feed Maggie, the donkey. We took the mini bus for a tour of island of Inisheer. You could walk, rent a bike, take a minibus or ride a horse drawn carriage. Dave, our tour guide gave us the advantages and disadvantages of all the choices. Back on the ferry to the Cliffs of Mohr. A bumpy ride due to the weather but we were fortunate, the fog lifted so we saw the Cliffs. Then back to Doolin, lunch (at an excellent Irish pub/restaurant) and the return bus ride. We took a different route back to Galway. Dave entertained us with music, imore history and interesting info about the area. One of the most enjoyable tours we took on this trip. I highly recommend it especially if you get Dave as your guide. Thanks Dave!!
