Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher Tour

Outstanding tour, our guide, Paul, was funny, energetic, personable and extremely knowledgeable about all of the locations on the tour. The scenery was spectacular. Would do it again without hesitation.

Very nice bus ride and opportunity to see the beautiful Irish countryside. Our stop to look at the Cliffs of Mohr was wonderful and I wish we had time on the itinerary to linger a bit longer. Regarding the trip to Inisheer… I’m not sure why our tour provider took us to this island and then allowed a 2 hour stay. This stop could have easily have been completed in half the time, at most. While peaceful and quaint, there was nearly nothing to see or do on this island. For the 2 hours we were allocated, our family would have much preferred a stop at Inishmore, which has much more to see and do.

I will recommend this trip to anyone going to Ireland. It was the perfect way to see both the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. Once we got to the island, our tour guide had already arranged a tour on the island, so we didn't lose any time. I would go on any tour Phil is leading!!

The cliffs are incredible, but frankly I would recommend it to anyone just to have someone else drive you through those long and winding roads! It’s about 1.5 hours there, slightly longer back, and I would not want to drive those roads myself! There are food options on the island you visit as well as at the cliffs near the gift shop. Arrive at the boat at least 20-25 min early on your way to the cliffs to get a descent seat for viewing them.

A 10/10 experience. This was our favorite day on our recent trip to Ireland. We REALLY lucked out with beautiful weather. Our tour guide was Alan, who was fantastic! Funny, smart, knowledgeable, and a good driver (extra important on those windy, narrow roads) Alan was great: giving us history and information on our drive out to Doolin, where we caught the ferry over to Inisheer, the smallest of the Aran Islands. On Inisheer, Alan prepped us with our various options. We opted for a horse-drawn tour by a local. We saw plenty of the island and had time to eat lunch before heading back to the pier. Next, we got on a boat for the tour of the Cliffs of Moher from the water. This was an INCREDIBLE way to see such a beautiful location. The water was pretty calm (all things considered), but be aware if you are prone to motion/sea sickness. Back on land, Alan drove us over to the official Cliffs of Moher park, where we had time to see the cliffs from land. Another great experience, with plenty of picturesque views. The only hiccups/things that could be improved: the handoff between bus > ferry > Inisheer > boat could've been smoother. We thought we'd be going from bus > ferry > Inisheer > boat as 1 group made up of everyone on the bus. Instead, we left the bus and then became part of a much larger mix of other bus tours, unaffiliated tourists, etc. The boat/ferry operators did a good job keeping us organized, but it was a little nerve-wracking to not be with Alan the entire time.
