It was INCREDIBLE! Best money I’ve ever spent. Our guide Tommy was funny, so kind and so knowledgeable and made the experience that much better

Great excursion. It was a very long day but our guide, Anthony, kept us entertained throughout the long rides from point to point Once on the island our group of four took a tour of the island on a horse-drawn cart. Our guide gave us a great deal of insight into growing up on the island and how it has changed to a more tourism driven economy over the past few years. Would definitely recommend this as an add-on. The pub we stopped off at for lunch was very good. Served an excellent pint of Guinness and a delightful seafood chowder. The Cliffs of Moher were, as expected, stunning. Great photo ops from the ferry. We were blessed with temps in the upper sixties and not a cloud to be seen. Probably would be less pleasant with weather a little more in character for early April.

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.

Tommy, our driver and guide, was the absolute best! He made the trip what it was. Such a jam packed day, we got to see so much and there was plenty of time at each place to take it all in. Thoroughly enjoyed, would recommend this trip for Tommy (and his stories) alone!
