Reisroute
Dit is de enige tour waarbij passagiers rechtstreeks vanuit Galway City kunnen varen. Adem de frisse zeelucht in en bewonder het uitzicht op de kustlijn van Connemara en Clare terwijl we richting de Aran-eilanden varen.
Passagiers kunnen 4,5 uur besteden aan het verkennen van de grootste van de Aran-eilanden, Inis Mór.
Op de terugreis gaan we naar de Cliffs of Moher. De kliffen zijn 300 miljoen jaar geleden gevormd en rijzen op tot een prachtige hoogte van meer dan 200 meter die je echt kunt waarderen vanaf het water. Bekijk de grootste zeevogelkolonie van Ierland, 'An Branán Mór Sea Stack' en een zeegrot die werd gebruikt bij het filmen van 'Harry Potter & the Half Blood Prince'. Pas op voor papegaaiduikers, dolfijnen, zeehonden en reuzenhaaien die deze wateren hun thuis noemen.

We had seen the Cliffs Of Moher from the top side the day before. They were stunning. They were even more stunning from below. The ferry boat ride was ok. I wasn’t impressed with the Aran Island experience as much. There were bikes to rent but we chose to walk… we made it to the first point, to where the seal colony was to be but there were no seals that day. There were swans in a little off side water way though! That was unexpected and a couple llamas and donkeys. My husband was cranky about the walk and no restrooms. This is not really a tour you can do on foot in that time frame. We never got past the seal colony.. that wasn’t there.
We had a beautiful sailing experience on our way to the aron island we got to see a lot of dolphins swimming and playing along side the boat what an amazing experience then getting to see the cliffs of moher what a magical day
This positive: definitely the best way to see the Cliffs of Mohr, really enjoyed our time on the island. The negative; it’s a big boat, very slow speed, when you get to the island, you’re going to spend more money on a bike, horse carriage, or bus tour. Pretty sure this tour could be booked on the ground and not through this service for less. Not much of a tour, more of a transportation service.
Be aware that this is NOT a tour of the Aran Islands. Your ticket only buys round trip passage on the ferry between Galway and Inishmore. Once on the island you will have to figure out what to do with your time there. You can rent bikes, get on a hop on/hop off tour bus or a horse and carriage, but they all have a separate cost. That being said, the ferry ride was great (responsive staff, announcements pointing out the sites of interest) and Inishmore has plenty of sites interest for a day trip. Plus, there is the Aran Wool Market
There was no narrative on the boat. We didn’t realize that we would need a bus/guide for the whole island experience. The boat took off both times ahead of schedule, we were lucky to be early.
Absolutely amazing!!! Well worth the time. The island was beautiful. The crew and. Captain made it so special by drive by the Cilffs of Moher so that both sides is the boat could see the cliffs up close and slow. The view was spectacular. Friendly and efficient loading and unloading. Clean and comfortable cabin and facilities. You can’t miss this opportunity.
The price 60€/person (august 26), covers only thr ferry trip. Even they say it includes a guided tour, that is not true. We had to hire a bus touraroud the island, wich costed us +25€/person. Not too bad, but they should have be transparent and say the price is only for the ferry. You can pay the ferry at the ticket office before departing. The visit to Inis Mor is very recommendable.
Very nice day, nice ship, pleasant island. We spent a good amount of time to get there and back so we used it as a good day of rest other than the time on the island. Toilets were limited even while underway so be aware if you have issues. There were plenty of spots to eat and e-bikes to rent once we landed making the afternoon a lot of fun.
We lined up at the passenger entrance for the Aran islands ferry. The ferry ride was about an hour long to Inesmore island and we chose to walk the trail (many others rented bikes). The landscape was beautiful and we walked to the Seal colony (I saw six seals). We walked back and hung out in the village the rest of the time. We boarded the ferry and made our to the Cliffs of Moher but because it was so foggy we couldn't see them. We did see a dolphin and some puffin flying around. We then made our way back. Even though we didn't get to see the cliffs it was still worth while
We had a beautiful sunny day to visit the island and it was perfect weather to enjoy the view from the water of the Cliffs of Moher too! The ferry loading/unloading was efficient and the ride was enjoyable. Definitely have a plan for what you want to do when you get to the island . There are a lot of great options and not enough time for all. We did a great hike with beautiful views and had time for beers before heading back.
