Visit The Aran Islands & see the Cliffs of Moher like never before – Our most comprehensive tour yet!

On this coach tour, Galway Tour Company will guide you south along the Wild Atlantic Way and into the lunar-like Burren region. From there we’ll head to the picturesque fishing village of Doolin where you’ll board the express ferry* to Inisheer (Inis Oirr) – the smallest and most vibrant of the Aran Islands.

Departing Doolin you will remain in the capable hands of The Doolin Ferry Company and your guide for the day.

Inisheer is only a short sailing from Doolin and attractions include ancient churches and castles, one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches, a modern playground and several pubs and cafes, lighthouses and shipwrecks. Hire a pony and trap, or a bike or stroll the peaceful boreens. The return journey, a guided cruise alongside the foot of the Cliffs of Moher, is a spectacular journey which puts the 214m high, 8 km long cliffs into perspective.

We will stop for a hearty meal in one of the traditional local pubs before arriving at the Cliffs of Moher. As a guest of Galway Tour Company, you will receive free entry to the cliffs and the eco-sensitive visitor centre. Take a stroll along the cliff edge and consider how tiny everything looks from above.

Once we depart the Cliffs we will travel alongside the edge of Galway Bay which is perhaps the most beautiful coastline in Ireland and is part of the larger, world-renowned Wild Atlantic Way.

Return time in Galway is approx. 7:30 pm
