“It was amazing. I’m not usually a great fan of guided tours, but this one was definitely an exception. I invited my partner to this guided day tour around Connemara, including a stop at Kylemore abbey and at Cong, and he was delighted with the tour. Also, there was enough time to visit all the places and to spend a while in the stops to take pictures or to contemplate the landscape. Guide was funny and knowledgeable, he made the trip a lot more interesting. Bus was in time and schedule times were accurately followed.Read more”

9.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.”
