What you can expect
Take a day trip to the Aran Islands and cruise along the Cliffs of Moher on this experience awarded the “Best Irish Experience” awarded by travel2ireland and the ITTN and 'Boat Tour of the Year in Ireland'. Enjoy exploring Inis Mór with an audio guide. Sail through the sea and take in incredible views of the Cliffs of Moher on your return to Galway.
The departure point from Galway city docks is a 15-minute walk from Galway City centre. Admire the stunning views of the Connemara and Clare Coast before arriving on Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands. Learn about the history, heritage, and culture of the Aran Islands via an audio guide. Spend 4.5 hours on the island and enjoy sandy beaches, stone forts, and the serenity of island life. Visitors can hire a bike or enjoy a minibus tour with a local guide.
Your return journey takes you along the Cliffs of Moher. Formed 300 million years ago, the cliffs rise to a magnificent height of over 200 metres which you can only truly appreciate from the water. Listen to your audio guide while onboard to learn why the Cliffs of Moher are so iconic.
See Ireland’s largest sea bird colony, 'An Branán Mór Sea Stack,' and a sea cave used during a Harry Potter film. Watch out for puffins, dolphins, and seals that call these waters home.
