Cliffs from Galway - The horse ride on the Island was Amazing. Thomas and his horse Toby were amazing. The ferry ride was choppy due to the time of year. The visit to the Cliffs was super windy but worth every minute! We highly recommend this day trip

Boat Ride to Islands and Cliffs of Moher - Wonderful time with our guides who not only showed us the island and Cliffs of Moher, but also smaller historical interest via the bus ride there/back that were very interesting.

Breathtaking - A lovely tour and trip to Inisheer Aran Island and the Cliffs of Moher. We lucked out and had spots of sunshine throughout, even though it was cold and windy (as expected). The island and cliffs were stunning. Absolutely a must visit. Allen was a gem, fabulous tour guide. I’d take the tour again in a heartbeat.

Wild Atlantic - Alan was fantastic. He made the tour that much more memorable. His passion and love for Ireland shone through his stories. 10/10 would go again!

Inisheer and Moher tours - Day tour from Galway, very convenient for those who do not have a car to visit the surroundings well. The island of Inisheer is very pretty (it would have been nice to have more time to visit it on foot, the best way to enjoy the scenery); from mid-September onwards recommended packed lunches, most of the venues are closed. The view of the Cliffs of Moher from both the sea and the air is really impressive, it definitely deserves despite the wind. A guide tells curiosities about the area and Ireland in general. A beautiful day!

Wild Atlantic Way trip from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher. - What a great tour of the Cliffs of Moher. We took a Ferry to the smallest Aran Island where we toured the island in a horse drawn carriage, a great way to see the island. On the way back to the cliffs of Moher, the Ferry brought us very, very close to the cliffs and described different formations. It was just breathtaking.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Exceptional! Must do to see Aran Island & Cliffs of Moher from sea & land. PAVEL was GREAT tour guide! - My husband and I, along with a (seasick-prone) friend did this 10-hr tour as part of my husband and my 9-country summer Euro trip. I had a wish to set foot on an Aran Island, as well as see the Cliffs of Moher from the water. We completely hit the weather lottery on our tour day the 3rd wk of August with a full-on sunny day with glassy calm water going Galway to Inisheer and back. Zero issues with seasickness - it was literally perfect weather. Note, if it is seriously raining this trip would not be so fun, so do watch the weather and consider how it will be. The tour company offers a 24-hr cancellation window and other tour alternatives.
The meet-up spot is right off the Galway town square, very easy to walk to if you're staying nearby. There are several tour operators, so ask the drivers to confirm which bus you're on. These are big coaches, but fairly tight leg room. You drive through beautiful countryside with narration to the ferry spot in Doolin, about 90-minutes. There are restrooms at Doolin, but very long lines for women. The mens room had no line and does use multiple doored stalls, so my friend and I used it with zero issues or concerns from other men, and other women followed our lead. You board the 11am ferry and are on Inisheer island by about 11:30am.
The ferry ride over was incredibly beautiful, calm, and fast. The filled the ferry and we were directed to seats on the bottom (there is also a back upper deck that was full). I was bummed about this until I realized the people on the bottom can walk outside the front of the ferry on either side to stand in the front of the boat to see things and take pics. There isn't a lot of room, but there were probably 10-15 people out there during our passing and it was fun to stand there, although windy - consider a tight-fitting hat or put your hair up.
We were given 2hrs on the island and told to meet back to board our ferry at the same spot.
From the Inisheer pier you can walk, bike, take a horse carriage or a 45-min minibus tour. We opted for the 15 Euro pp minibus tour (reviewed separately), which is the most efficient way to see the key spots of the Island, including the plane wreck, castle, and learn about the island and its history and people. Our driver lives on Inisheer and has for most/all of his life, and knew a lot of facts about this small island. Most importantly he knows all the other drivers on the island and how to manage the roads! Note if you rent bikes (ebikes are available too) that the roads are so narrow that you will have to stop and press yourself against a stone wall at times (of which there are many) to allow the minibuses and carriages through. It looked like a challenging ride, but if you have enough time, it could be fun.
After being dropped back by the pier we saw our driver, who guided us to the bar/restaurant right right there for lunch. The restaurant can fit a lot of people both inside and out, has paninis, fish & chips, beers, etc. We enjoyed it very much. They have restrooms there also. After that you can walk to the beach, right by the pier, and I really enjoyed that. We also stopped at the shop immediately between the pier and restaurant, which was well stocked with Aran-made wools, jewelry, and other keepsakes. I bought a necklace. So, we fit a lot into those 2 hrs. We did get in line for the ferry early - my friend held a spot about #5 in line. This is important because if you're first on you can secure a spot on the back upper deck for viewing the Cliffs. Take a perimeter seat on either side.
We then took a lengthy ferry back to see the Cliffs from the water. The boat gets quite close and there are many photo opps. I took about 100 pics easily. We saw dolphins jumping in the wake of the boat, which was a wonderful surprise. This part of the tour was approx 1hr.
We were then bused to the visitor's center at the Cliffs of Moher. We only had 1 hr at this stop, but it was enough to walk to several cool sights to see the Cliffs from above and get photos, use the restroom, shop in the visitor's center, and also catch the continuous running 7-min "4D" show. The visitor's center is nothing too interesting - they tout a 4D show, but it was not that great tbh. But they have restrooms and a nice shop where I bought some earrings that were very reasonably priced.
From there we did the 2-2.5hr bus ride back to Galway, but also stopped 1-2 times to see a couple of sights. We arrived back by 6:30pm near the pick up spot in the center of Galway.
This was a very long day trip, but so well worth it due to the quality of the tour, how much you can see, and the once in a lifetime opp to set foot on an Aran Island and to see the Cliffs from both sea and land. We were blessed with one of the best weather days of our trip, which was amazing. It would still be worth it if cloudy and intermittently raining, but I might reconsider if it was raining a ton.
A massive shout-out to our tour guide, PAVEL, who was EXCEPTIONAL! He drove the bus, narrated the tour, gave recs for things to do and restaurants, and was quite funny, personable, and professional. Really one of the best tour guides we had in over a month of travel. I had no cash or I would have tipped him, so I'm writing as glowing a review as possible, because he deserves it. 5-stars ***** (pics attached in no particular order)

Great combo tour - We enjoyed all the elements of this tour and appreciated how Alan helped us get the most out of our various destinations. It was a full day, including Alan’s narrated bus ride to the ferry, a horse cart tour on the island, the view of the cliffs from the boat, and walking around the Cliffs of Moher. Gorgeous scenery with several chances to get out and walk or bike. Well worth it if you’re in the Galway area for a few days.
