Shuttle bus instructions a disaster. No transfer of tickets/reimbursement

Visiting from France, 2 families, 5 kids. The instructions for shuttle bus to Rossaveel are next to non existant let alone clear. Have to call to have them pick you up. Missed the ferry and wouldn’t budge in transferring the tickets to another time/day. 300€ out the window. So upset.

Efficient way to get to the Aran Islands

We felt the ferry was expensive for what it was, but then again we appreciate having this convenient option available. Boats are not fancy but they are comfortable, well-kept, and reliable. The timing was good to get to Inis Mor and have the whole day to walk the island from end to end, then travel back. Parking at Rossaveel was easy to find and well organized. Would use this option again and recommend to anyone visiting.

Good value for money but poor organisation

Ferry was fine no issues however the staffing and organisation of getting passengers on and off the ferry was a shambles They have two queues, none of which are signposted. It seems the 2nd queue is for those on a later ferry wanting to get on early. Both ways it was a mess getting on and off the boat. It took so long to get off and getting on the boat was a free for all with everyone swarming the staff to get on the boat. No organisation, found it very frustrating

Perfect Day on Inis Mor

Perfect way to spend the last day in Ireland. The ferry was early. The directions to ferry port were spot on.
