5.00We had a terrific experience with Phil and Cearbhuil. A manageable but bumpy surf to the Island, was followed by a smooth and enjoable ride through the countryside. Phil provide some informative details about the terrain, the history and the island people. A pint and scones to finish the trip but a wonderful cap on the day. Highly recommend as the bike ride is not too strenuous for kids 7 and above, and adults.
Great experience touring Inisheer by bike!

5.00Amazing experience to tour Inisheer by bike! The weather was terrible most of the day but once we got riding we had a blast with our group! Sean was a great guide with fun stories and perspectives that made the tour the fun experience that it was. If nothing else though, go for the after tour scones and coffee. Una is a delight and the scones are amazing. Your experience in Doolin must include this tour. My advice is definitely splurge for the e-bike upgrade. The island is quite hilly and the assist going uphill is worth the €20.
The Sea Was Angry

5.00A great day with our guide Dean. Pickup in Galway was smooth as we joined two other couples for the day’s adventures. Dean knew to make a pitstop for coffee and washrooms and told us all the history necessary for our visit to the area. He could not control the sea though!! We made it to and from Inisheer but no close up for the Cliffs of Moher. It was ok as he made the most with fresh scones and shopping time. Thank you Dean.

5.00We had a lovely tour on Inisheer by bike and guided by Eleanor. She had insightfull stories about the area which were delivered in a funny and engaging way. Highlights were the visit of the Plassey Shipwreck and the scones at café Una, where we learned more about daily island life in Ireland.

5.00We had an absolutely great time on this tour with Ollie as our guide. Ollie is very fun, energetic and knowledgeable of the Island. I upgraded to an e-bike as I didn't want to hold anyone up, I probably could have done non e but it was relaxing and enjoyable with the assist. The views are gorgeous and Ollie's local knowledge wonderful. There was a young boy, maybe 10,in our group and Ollie went out of his way to make the trip special for him. I highly recommend Ollie's tour of Inisheer. Oh, the tea and scone was delicious as well as the warm welcome of the woman who owns the cafe.
Excellent bike tour of the Aran island
