As you step onto the Island, you will immediately grasp what Island life is all about. You will see horses, local farmers. You will hear Irish (or Gaelic) being spoken by the locals and you will smell the freshest air the Atlantic Ocean can provide. Time to tour the Island by bike! No waiting in line, your guide will have your bike rental taken care of. Your expert guide will show you around the Island. You will experience sunken graveyards, shipwrecks, castles, and much more. After your guided tour, your guide will bring you to a local cafe that has a reservation for you. No waiting in line here either, just walk in and enjoy! You will absolutely love this cafe by the way. Definitely try the scones! After lunch, you can enjoy your free time on the Island. People love to go to the pub for a pint, check out the playground with the kids, or simply chill on the beach! You will meet your guide back at the pier where we will board the ferry en route back to Doolin.

Wonderful experience to another world

We loved our Aran Islands bike tour with Simon. He was knowledgeable, great sense of humor—and patient, even when he had to track down a couple of people in our group who went their own way. The island was fascinating and beautiful—a glimpse of another world. Plus fabulous tea and scones at the end. Highly recommend!!

Lovely Authentic Tour Guides

Beautiful scenery. Our tour guide Cearbhuil was lovely and so helpful. Definitely add on the ferry ride to see Cliffs of Moher if you haven't seen them yet - gorgeous way to see them. Communication with the tour company was perfect. Ending the tour with scones and tea was a picture-perfect way to end, and the lovely person who spoke to us there was a delight.

It was a very great tour with Murph

Good crack (or maybe you spell it craic) with Murph ;). We had a great day on inisheer. The rainy bicycle tour was nice, we received many interesting informations about the island and the people. The scones and the coffee were delicious. Thank you Murph, you are a really great guide!

Do yourself a favour and book this tour!

Do yourself a favour and do this tour!! Loved every minute, Ollie is such a character and showcases Inis Oirr through accessible history along with funny stories from his childhood. The perfect insight into life on the island! Ollie really looked after everyone in the group individually and although I did it solo, everyone on the tour was laughing and having a pint at the end, facilitated by Ollie’s inclusion! The homemade scones with a local family run cafe, where Ollie organised the owner to come and give his perspective on living on Inis Oirr, was just an another amazing element. I upgraded to the e-bike and was happy I did, some of the hills are difficult so this just let me enjoy the experience that bit more. Those with high fitness levels wouldn’t be fazed by them though! Couldn’t recommend this tour enough!
