What to expect
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 departing Inis Oírr, the ferry returns to Doolin, followed by a guided cruise along the base of the Cliffs of Moher. This spectacular return journey offers a unique perspective of the cliffs, which rise 214 meters high and stretch for 8 kilometers along the Atlantic coast.
If for any reason (such as motion sickness or a medical condition) you prefer not to extend your time on the ferry for the cruise, you are welcome to disembark at Doolin Pier and wait for the group to return. 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.
