Activity itinerary

Galway Bay (Pass by)

Departing from Galway City, enjoy a scenic drive along the Wild Atlantic Way, going through Salthill and viewing the open Atlantic ocean, as your local guide keeps you entertained with his local knowledge of the area, before arriving at Doolin Pier.

Cliffs Of Moher

  • 1h
From Doolin, aboard the ferry, enjoy an unforgettable sightseeing cruise beneath the towering Cliffs of Moher as we take the scenic route along this dramatic stretch of coastline. Seeing the cliffs rise straight up from the Atlantic Ocean is a truly awe-inspiring experience and offers a whole new perspective on one of Ireland’s most iconic natural landmarks. Prepare to feel wonderfully small! Duration: Approximately 60 minutes Please note: Ferry crossings and the Cliffs of Moher cruise from Galway are weather-dependent. As a result, tour routes and timings may occasionally change. On rare occasions — usually only once or twice a year — the advertised route or stop durations may need to be adjusted without notice.

Inisheer

  • 3h
Upon arrival on Inis Oírr, you’ll be welcomed by golden sandy beaches, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and perhaps even a glimpse of the island’s famous resident dolphin, Dusty. This peaceful island of small fishing villages is steeped in history, from a burial mound dating back to 1500 BC to a medieval church ruin half-buried in sand, and a striking three-storey tower, O'Brien's Castle. built within a Stone Age fort. As you explore the shoreline, you’ll come across a big, rusty old 1960 shipwreck, the Plassey. Enjoy sweeping views across Connemara and the Burren, and discover one of Ireland’s most beautiful beaches. No matter which route you choose, the island reveals its stories, traditions, and always the promise of a welcoming cup of tea and some lunch at the many pubs and cafes on the island (not included in costs.) You’ll have approximately 2.5–3 hours to relax and explore the island at your own pace.There is even an option to hire a bicycle and around cycle the island.

Wild Atlantic Way (Pass by)

On the return leg of your tour, we travel through the heart of this lunar like landscape region of the Burren, taking in the coastal road with views out over Galway Bay, the Blackhead Lighthouse perched on the edge of the headland, and the quiet village of Ballyvaughan nestled at the foot of the hills. It’s a dramatic end to a day that has already taken you from sea level at the Cliffs of Moher, to the beaches of the smallest of the Aran Islands, Inisheer, and finally and now across one of the most beautiful and unique regions of the Irish landscape.
