Take a day trip to the Aran Islands and see the Cliffs of Moher by cruise on this tour awarded the "Best Irish Experience 2021" award by travel2ireland and the ITTN. Enjoy exploring Inis Mór with an audio guide. Sail through the sea and take in incredible views of the Cliffs of Moher on your return to Galway. Depart from the Galway city docks and admire the stunning views of the Connemara and Clare Coast before arriving on Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands. Learn about the history, heritage, and culture of the Aran Islands via an audio guide. Spend 4.5 hours on the island to enjoy sandy beaches, stone forts, and the serenity of island life. Your return journey takes you along the Cliffs of Moher. Formed 300 million years ago, the cliffs rise to a magnificent height of over 200 meters which you can only truly appreciate from the water.

See Ireland’s largest sea bird colony, 'An Branán Mór Sea Stack,' and a sea cave used during a Harry Potter film. Watch out for puffins, dolphins, seals, and basking sharks that call these waters home.

Boat was large and very smooth ride. We rented electric bikes for island a couple weeks prior to trip because they sell out. A couple sites we missed because they are not marked at all which was disappointing. When you leave island ask crew which side of boat you want to be on to see cliffs of Mohr. We were on back of boat lower deck. It was a long day.

Had such a wonderful day! We had perfect weather which helps. The ferry has both a protected and unprotected section. The ferry can be rocky, I can imagine someone who is prone to sea sickness would struggle. The islands are beautiful. We rented bikes, it was cost effective and easy. The Cliffs of Moeher are stunning! Great excursion.

Our guide and driver Dave was outstanding!! The all day combo of driving and a boat to the island and cliffs was perfect. To see the cliffs from on top and the water was fabulous. Dave was very entertaining and helpful. The pub lunch was very good too. Highly recommend.
