Tour Highlights
This tour offers the best of both worlds – a full day, guided tour of the Cliffs of Moher & Burren and a day of independent exploring on Inis Mór.
Cliffs of Moher & Burren Day Tour Highlights
Head south to through the windswept, limestone region known as the Burren. Explore the dramatic underworld of the Burren at the Aillwee Cave. You’ll spend 1.5 hours at the awe-inspiring Cliffs of Moher before heading back to Galway along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Aran Islands Transport
This package includes return transportation to Inis Mór (the largest island). You’re free to explore the island on your own or join a local tour around the island. The choice is yours!
Spend your day on Inis Mór exploring on your own. There are plenty of walking paths, shops, restaurants, pubs and beaches on the island. After departing the ferry in Kilronan, the island’s main settlement, explore the patchwork fields, stone monuments and farmland either on foot, by renting bicycles, or hiring horse and trap or minibus. Discover one of Ireland’s most important prehistoric monuments, Dún Aonghusa, sitting dramatically a top 100m cliffs that drops into the Atlantic Ocean. When along the coast, try to see if you can spot the resident seal colony!
