The ferry ride was fantastic. Took a bus trip around the main island and it was fantastic. We enjoyed a nice climb and watched the cliffs and ocean from high above. There was quite a bit of wind and rain, however that only added to the experience. Definitely worth a day trip to see the Aran islands. The people I met there were kind and warm hearted.

great cycling on a beautiful island - 1 day is actually not enough, next time stay at least 2 days on the island the bike rental was well organized, the bikes of very good quality - getting around for a stranger is easy thanks to the clear markings and helpful residents and fellow bikers - 40 minute boat crossing was punctual and comfortable

Easy to book, took the ferry from Rossaveel. Can be expensive for the ferry as only a short journey . Then with bike hire on top too . Definitely hire bikes though once on the island to cycle it, it’s truly beautiful. The electric bikes are great unless your super fit . Locals are friendly, aswell as the cows , horses & donkeys your see around the island. Oh & the seals. It’s a must do trip when in Ireland.
