Cycle Inisheer from Doolin with a local guide, ferry tickets, island sights, tea, scones, and free time by the Atlantic.

“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. We definitely lagged behind the crowd a bit due to some issues adjusting the infant in the wagon, but we felt so welcome and relaxed as we wandered up and down the island.
