Embark on an unforgettable day tour from Galway, heading out at 9:00 AM.
We'll travel by coach along the scenic Wild Atlantic Way, passing through the unique, rocky limestone terrain of the Burren before reaching the charming village of Doolin.
From Doolin, a swift ferry will take you to Inisheer, the smallest and most traditional of the Aran Islands.
On Inisheer, discover a 10th-century castle ruin, a sunken church, a shipwreck, and a tranquil beach.
You can explore the island's quiet lanes on foot, or opt for a more immersive experience by renting a bike or a pony and trap (additional cost).
After your island exploration, the ferry will bring you back to Doolin.
The journey continues with a breathtaking cruise beneath the majestic Cliffs of Moher, offering a truly unique perspective of one of Ireland's most iconic natural wonders.
If you prefer not to take the cruise, you can disembark at Doolin Pier and await the group's return.
Following the cruise, enjoy a traditional Irish pub meal (not included in the tour price).
You'll then have an hour to explore the top of the Cliffs of Moher and soak in the magnificent views.
Our return to Galway will be via a stunning coastal route, with arrival expected around 7:30 PM.

Great tour of the Cliffs
Bonnie_A, October 2026
Although we were unable to go to the Aran Islands due to weather, the tour was great. The company did contact us ahead of time with multiple options which was helpful. Our tour guide Tommy was fantastic. Not only was he knowledgeable and funny, his driving was some of the best. I have been on many
Coach bus tours and inevitably get motion sick. Didn’t happen at all and it was pretty much winding roads both ways. So kudos to Tommy! The tour is great definitely recommend during your time in Ireland.

Very enjoyable day
Robert_N, October 2026
Wonderful day at Aran Island. Even enjoyed the slightly rough seas on the ferry. Unfortunately, due to the weather, the ferry to the Cliffs was cancelled but I still enjoyed the trip by bus to the top

Fantastic tour, great guide!
johnfX8663SN, October 2026
What a fantastic day we had! Our driver, Anthony, was a funny, knowledgeable guide, who kept us fully informed as to the day’s events. The day flew by! Anthony was also a skilled driver, how he managed to steer our large bus through those winding narrow streets was truly super human.
100% recommend, you will not be sorry!
