ARYN Islands and Cliffs of Moher boat tour

Very enjoyable boat trip to largest of Aran Islands. The island was amazing! Rented electric bikes to explore island which was a great way to see the island in a short amount of time. Return trip seeing the Cliffs of Moher up close was spectacular.

Excellent way to experience the Aran Island, Inis mor.

Very efficient, economical and friendly way to explore the Aran Islands. Remarkably caring and attentive staff on the ferry from Galway dock to Inis Mor. The bay waters were rough & some folks got seasick. There were plenty of staff with helping hands. Easy to find for a first time solo traveler. It is an independent way to explore the Aran Islands. There are also many independent tour guides for hire upon arrival in Inis Mor. Many were Inis Mor natives and were excellent historians & proud of their island. Go this way & you won’t be sorry!

Quite an experience

We loved Aron Island but would have liked a few more details on highlights and experiences. We hadn’t had breakfast and were t able to find somewhere to eat until afternoon. So some advice would have been nice. We hired a horse drawn carriage and found that to be perfect for scenery and Jimmy, the driver was a taste of the island. We walked to the Fort and it was gorgeous but I could have used a bit of warning as to the technical aspect of the climb! I am 70 and have cranky knees but I made it and found it well worth it. Be warned, if you are remotely prone to seasickness take medication before boarding g and sit upstairs! The trip out was quite rough and held the passengers were retching! The crew was amazing passing out “bags,” and keeping some humor about the…issue! I would recommend this adventure but be prepared!
