4.Aran Islands & Cliffs of Moher Day Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,261 reviews · from $68

Sail from Galway to Inis Mór, explore Aran Island life, and see the Cliffs of Moher from sea level on an 8.5-hour day trip.

“It was actually…fun! Riding an e-bike was easy and there’s one simple road. You won’t get lost and you will see amazing sights. Plus. Seeing the cliffs from the water on the way back was even more breathtaking than seeing them up close. Just do bring Dramamine if you’re worried on a windy day, based on other reviews, but I and the people around me felt great even in some choppy water.”

“This tour was our favorite part of our trip to Ireland! Ollie was a fantastic guide and incredibly accommodating an ambitious postpartum mom and my six month old infant.

Absolutely loved the tea and scones at the end and was utterly charmed by recipe swapping! The ferry was a great bit of fun - a few choppy waves across the Atlantic and a great source of wonder for me and my child. Ollie even gave us the…”

“Gabriel was the best part. He gave our family of 13 lots of information that appealed to all ages. He was caring when one of our family was seasick and stopped to get medication. We lived visiting his goat farm nd holding baby goats. Remember to bring sunscreen. Walking to cliffs on a sunny day will get you burned.”
