Aran Islands Bike Tour with Tea & Scones - Day Trip to Inisheer from Doolin





Description
This is the BEST way to make the most of your time on the Aran Islands. Inisheer is the smallest of the 3 Aran Islands. It’s located just 20 minutes off the coast of Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher. Once we arrive at the island, we get our bikes and head out for a 2-hour bike tour of the island. If you are not up for cycling, we can organize a tractor-drawn carriage tour for you at no extra charge. After the tour, we will have home-baked scones and tea while hearing stories from a local islander!

Itinerary
As you step onto the Island, you will immediately grasp what Island life is all about. You will see horses, local farmers. You will hear Irish (or Gaelic) being spoken by the locals and you will smell the freshest air the Atlantic Ocean can provide. Time to tour the Island by bike! No waiting in line, your guide will have your bike rental taken care of. Your expert guide will show you around the Island. You will experience sunken graveyards, shipwrecks, castles, and much more. After your guided tour, your guide will bring you to a local cafe that has a reservation for you. No waiting in line here either, just walk in and enjoy! You will absolutely love this cafe by the way. Definitely try the scones! After lunch, you can enjoy your free time on the Island. People love to go to the pub for a pint, check out the playground with the kids, or simply chill on the beach! You will meet your guide back at the pier where we will board the ferry en route back to Doolin.

Perfect day out with wonderful guides. Great atmosphere guaranteed while getting an authentic experience with beautiful views!! We got the added bonus of beautiful sunny weather too.
Wife and I took the bike tour of Inisheer with Ollie. Upgraded to e bikes as never tried them and was worth the small extra, great fun, in reality was not a special stage of the TDF so regular bikes would have been fine. As for the tour Ollie was entertaining and a great guide, gave us fascinating insights into island life, past and present, and showed us points of interest on the island. The tour starts with a short ferry ride from Doolin to Inisheer and ends at the island’s small cafe for tea and cake. Would absolutely recommend doing this if you are on the West Coast of Ireland, Ollie, his team, and everyone we met on the island (as well as others in the small tour group) were charming and very welcoming.
My sister, daughter & I loved this experience! Simon was an amazingly knowledgeable and fun guide! My sister and daughter did the e-bikes but I did the pony cart. Both were excellent! Inisheer is beautiful, quaint and is steeped in history. The Guinness is excellent and so are the sweaters! We highly recommend this company and this tour!
A fantastic tour around Inisheer with Sean who brought the craic, was the craic and generally gave us a great time! Recommend!
Had an amazing trip from start to finish. Sean our guide was so pleasant and helpful. He ensured everyone was together and informed us all about the history of the island. He even thought the tour some Irish. Una's coffee and scones was a treat at the end. Highly recommended tour.
Local female guide was friendly, informed and helpful. Truly a great experience.
Hello 👋 Thank you for your kind review! I am so happy to hear you enjoyed your guided bike tour around the Aran Islands ☘️ Thanks for coming with us 🧡
Shaun was an awesome tour guide and awesome to have for the 2 of us that booked the bike ride. Unfortunately, for the 2 that booked the horse and carriage, this was not available when we arrived, despite booking several weeks in advance and also messaging the company a few days before to confirm this. Our tour guide had to call the company to arrange for a different time of the tour after we already arrived on the island. If the horse and carriage tour proceeded as planned, these 2 people in our party would have had 1 hour, after their tour, to have lunch at the pub. Instead, they only had 45 min of free time before they had to meet for their tour and this 45 min was too early in the day to have lunch. Unfortunately they had to wait outside, in full sun, which is a lot for a couple in their late 70s/almost 80 years old. It would be good if a refund was issued.
Hey Leeann! I am so sorry about this. This is totally on us. I’m glad they were able to get the next pony and I hope they enjoyed their time on the island nonetheless. Thanks for your word about guide, Seán! I have reached out to you and refunded you for your parents trip. Thanks, Ollie
Great experience! Sean was a great tour guide and kept us entertained with stories of the island. We were happy to be able to have a combo of e-bikes and regular ones. The ride isn’t terribly strenuous, but the option was great for the members of our group that were less physically fit. The scones were a wonderful way to wrap up the tour. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great outdoor experience.
Hey Laura! Thank you for your kind review 🎉 I am happy to hear you enjoyed your bike tour on Inisheer, it is a really beautiful place ☘️ Thanks for coming 🧡
Sean was an absolute gem. He is so organized, enthusiastic, charismatic and hilarious. We learned a ton and had so much fun. We had the best day on the island Sean and Freya helped me organize a 25th wedding anniversary renewal and surprised my husband. Sean was like a paid actor distracting my husband while we got things arranged. He was brilliant Everything was perfect.
