Simply brilliant and a must do. - Unbelievable all round, the whole crew was so welcoming and friendly. The views of cliffs and the islands were out of this world. The island was an excellent experience and would highly highly recommend the whole trip. Will definitely be doing it again.

The Ireland of your dreams - We got a perfect day to travel to the islands! I recommend taking a carriage ride (Inis Mor Horse Carriage tours - Stephen & Rocky his horse) to see the seals and the "real" Ireland - rock walls and GREEN grass. Only wish we got closer to the Cliffs on our return trip.

Nice day trip - Had good weather, only rough seas near Cliffs of Mohrer. Took van ride to fort, hiked up. Nice ride. Driver not overly informative. Overall a nice day trip. Ticket from TripAdvisor did not have QR code (don't know why) which slowed things up.

It really was a lovely... - It really was a lovely trip. However, the ferry was rather dirty and unkept inside. We were the first trip out and you could seriously tell that it was never cleaned that evening for the next day.
