★★★★★★★★★★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.”

Review of Galway’s guided Aran Islands and Cliffs of Moher tour, with ferry views, Inisheer time, Burren scenery, tips, and value advice.

“This was hands down the best tour I've ever been on and one of the most memorable experiences of our travel to Ireland! Phil was the best tour guide we've ever had - funny, charming, knowledgeable, and genuinely a friendly, kind fellow. Highly recommend the horse drawn carriage to the wreckage on the Aron Island - our tour guide for that was also excellent! We truly enjoyed every part of learning as we bused around and having the experience of both the water view and then hiking the cliffs of Moher! Whimsical! Worth every Euro and more!”
