大西洋を見下ろす崖の上に建つドゥーンエングサは、アラン諸島で最大の先史時代の石造りの要塞です。砦は、3つの巨大な乾いた石の壁と、崖から崖まで砦を囲むギザギザの直立した石の密集した帯であるシェボー・ド・フリスで構成され、攻撃者を阻止するように設計されています。もともとは紀元前1100年頃に建設されましたが、西暦700年から800年頃に再要塞化されました。発掘調査により、先史時代の金属加工の重要な証拠と、いくつかの家屋や埋葬が明らかになりました。
アザラシのコロニーは島の北側、キルマーベイ ビーチの近く、ドゥン アオンガサへ向かう道沿いにあり、展望台には軽食を販売する小さな小屋がはっきりと表示されています。干潮時には十数頭のアザラシが海岸や岩に集まり、コネマラの山々を背景に美しい光景を作り出します。
Aran Island Goat's Cheeseは、アラン諸島最大のイニシュモールにある家族経営のヤギ牧場で、様々なソフトチーズと樽熟成ヤギフェタチーズを生産しています。 島のツアーには、ヤギに会い、チーズが作られているのを見たり、教育的な解説をしたり、チーズを味わったりする機会が与えられたチーズ工場への立ち寄りも含まれます。 アラン山羊のチーズは、ディリスク（島で収穫された海藻）の有無にかかわらずソフトチーズ、アオサを注入したゴーダチーズ、またはディリスク、ブリーのように見えるミディアムハードチーズ、フェタチーズに似ていないサマーチーズを生産します.彼らのディリスクはイニスモールの海岸で収穫されます。農場の豚には、チーズ製造の副産物であるホエーも与えられているため、何も無駄になりません。
キルマーベリー クラフト ビレッジはダン アオンガサのふもとにあり、折衷的なアイルランドの芸術品や工芸品の店がいくつかあります。島を訪れる多くの旅行者は、ドゥン アオンガサに入る前に居心地の良いカフェでブラウズしたりリフレッシュしたりします。

History and culture is good but not with the guides there. They entice you to restaurants in Dun Aengus which is miles away so you have to use the transport provided..horse €50 each, Shared packed minibus €25 each. Ebike €40 each and Bike €30 . I was there for 3 hours and these were the rates.
This review concerns the bus tours offered by locals when you arrive rather than anything pre booked. There are literally dozens of minibus drivers trying to get you on board saying " let me show you what we do". We had the misfortune to get on the bright yellow bus with Mike. He turned out to be a most disagreeable and rude individual literally screaming at some passengers as they couldn't get off his bus in time as he had to rush off to do another tour while we were dropped off at the fort for an hour and a half. It was very hot and he couldn't be bothered to open the roof lights so was driving around with the back door open. In addition his driving was abysmal, nearly hitting many cyclists who dared to get in his way. He was a danger on the road and all he was interested in was getting as many people on the bus and as many tours in as he could. He ran out of time with us so we missed the stop at the seal colony. It was a rip off and we refused to pay. AVOID THE BRIGHT YELLOW BUS.
Gabriel was an entertaining guide and certainly knew the island. Other than that it was the worst value tour I have taken in years and that includes private tours in Italy, Scotland, France, Norway, and Sweden. We prefer private tours but in this case the Hop On Hop Off would have been the better choice.
We enjoyed the short hike up to the fort and the beautiful views. We appreciated that Gabriel shared his goats and some goat cheese but would have liked to see how it is made and understand the process better. Gabriel gave us some good insight into island life but not a lot of history of the island. 1 1/2 hours of the trip were spent on our own exploring the fort and the small shopping area and having lunch leaving about an hour of actual time on the tour, which made it a very over priced hour.
Hi Cynthia. Thank you for your feedback. I know we were 10 mins late in collecting your party on the day, but fortunately we managed to accomodate your late minute ferry change. Normally we dont offer the goats cheese on this history tour, but Gabriel included this as well as some extra time at the 7 churches on the island where he also spent time detailing this site Just a note, the time visiting Dún Aonghasa fort is self-guided on this tour. So in the end your party actually got extra time with Gabriel ! Trust that makes more sense now. Gald you enjoyed the tour and this unique Aran Island.
We had a great tour of Inishmore with Gabriel. We spoke the day prior and I informed him of my wife's limited mobility and he customized the tour to our needs and threw in a few special stops for us. The tour was a little pricey, but given that we were only on the island for a few hours and may never return, it was worth it to make sure we saw everything we wanted to see. Highly recommend this tour if you're doing a day trip to Inishmore and want to see as much as possible.
Gabriel Faherty was an awesome tour guide he has lived on Inishmore all his life and comes from a long line of full-time residents there so he knows everything and was so entertaining with his tour of the island for our family. Gabriel also runs Aran Islands Goat Cheese Company which makes award winning goat cheese--he was kind enough to show us around the cheese production facility as part of our tour and even gave us samples which were delicious. There are lots of longer tours but our 2.5 hour tour was really plenty to get a good feel for Inishmore.
Provided transport to interesting places and provided interesting commentary on goats cheese farm and manufacturing . Guide did not provide any historical or cultural information as per advertised title of tour. Interior of bus was wet as roof windows had been left open overnight. Not recommended.
I'm not sure why they included Galway in the title if they were not going to pick us up in galway which was the whole purpose of us booking this tour. There was no communication after booking or indication that we would need to get to the islands on our own.
Walking up to the fortress and seeing the cliffs. Lunch at the cafe. Watching the Ryder Cup in a bar waiting for the ferry.
We had a great time on Gabriel's tour of the island. We toured the island by minibus stopping at points of interest, hiked to Dun Aonghasa, did some shopping, and met Gabriel's goats! It was a great way to get the local perspective and see the island with zero stress.
