Small Group - Cliffs Cruise and Aran Islands in a Day from Galway
Overview
Available languages
8 hours 45 minutes
Mobile ticket
In this groundbreaking day trip, you will get to taste the best of the west of Ireland in just a few hours. Sample south Connemara, explore Inis Oirr (the smallest of the Aran Islands), and take a cruise under the Cliffs of Moher. Coming back onto the mainland, we take in arguably the finest coastal drive in Ireland along the Wild Atlantic Way back up to Galway, along with a couple of various other short stops during the day.
What makes this day trip truly unique is that it is a looped route, so you are experiencing a completely different region of the West of Ireland in every hour that passes. You won’t see the same thing twice!

5.00Appreciated the small group feel & Kenny was a great guide and story teller. Great locations for photography. Highly recommend for those looking for seaside views to see the cliffs & absorb the grandness of the sculpted erosion over time. Inisheer lunch was good too, got a good amount of steps in to break up the ride.

5.00The tour was timely, informative, and loads of fun. Eoin, our driver and guide of Lally Tours was exceptional- thoughtful, knowledgeable, and a fantastic sense of humor! We had a wonderful experience end to end, from a punctual pick-up and departure to breathtaking scenery including the Cliffs and a lovely jaunt of an afternoon in Inis Oirr. Eion made great recommendations both during and after the tours, pointing us to a delicious meal in Galway upon our return. Highly recommend and would do it again!
Highly recommend

5.00This was a great tour and experience. Was great to get to see the cliffs from the sea! Our guide Shawn was great. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of insight into the country and this area. There are lots of options for tours and I’m so glad we went with the one going to rhe Aran Islands. YOU MUST go the horse drawn carriage ride on Ishineer island. They are given by locals who love on the island and the experience of learning from the locals is so important! Highly recommend for couples, families or even solo travelers.
