Tommy made every part of this day trip excellent. He told us amazing stories about the history of Ireland while driving our bus. The route itself was beautiful and you get to see so much greenery and all of the stone walls. You even see cows and alpacas along the way. The ferry ride to the islands and the cliffs was breathtaking.

Tommy’s presence made our entire day! From the second we stepped on the bus, we felt noticed, safe, and at ease for such a long travel day with a bus full of strangers. We really loved the ferry ride to the island, so much beauty in one day! The luck of the Irish held out the weather for us, not a drop of rain until we got onto the bus to head home. We learned a lot and laughed a lot, thank you for such a memorable experience!!

Highlights

  • Visit the beauty of Inis Oirr, the smallest, most unspoiled of the Aran Islands
  • Experience the Cliffs of Moher from below and above to take in its simple beauty
  • Enjoy lunch at a traditional pub or restaurant near the Cliffs of Moher
  • Learn about Lisdoonvarna, home of the world’s famous matchmaking festival
  • Pop into one of the traditional pubs in the coastal village of Doolin

Full description

Departing Galway at 9 AM sharp, we will guide you south along the Wild Atlantic Way and Burren region, heading to the picturesque fishing village of Doolin where you’ll board the express ferry to Inisheer, the smallest Aran Island.
Inisheer is only a short sailing distance from Doolin and attractions include an ancient castle, a sunken church, one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches, a shipwreck and several pubs, restaurants and cafes. Hire a pony and trap or a bike just off the pier (for additional cost) or enjoy a peaceful stroll through the boreens.
After this visit, you will cruise alongside the foot of the Cliffs of Moher. This is a unique view of the Cliffs not often seen. We then have a traditional Irish pub meal. After, we spend 1 hour at the top of the Cliffs. Take a stroll along the cliff edge and consider how tiny everything looks from above.
Once we depart the Cliffs we will take the coast road home, following the Wild Atlantic Way, arriving in Galway at approximately 19:30.

The most incredible tour and Dave was the best guide - he was very insightful, engaging and thought of every small detail to ensure we had the most enjoyable day. We were lucky to have a beautiful sunny day - so special to have this experience with such exquisite weather. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting to explore the Aran islands and experience the cliffs from both the below and above.
