This full-day boat tour from Galway covers two major natural sites in Ireland: the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. The tour departs from Merchants Road in Galway and travels by coach through scenic areas including Dunguaire Castle, Kinvara Harbour, Ballyvaughan, and the Burren. After reaching Doolin Pier, passengers board a ferry to Inisheer (Inis Oirr), the smallest of the Aran Islands, where they have two hours to explore independently. The return ferry trip includes a boat cruise beneath the Cliffs of Moher, subject to weather conditions. After the boat ride, the tour stops at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre for about one hour, with entry included. On the way back to Galway, the route passes Lisdoonvarna, Fanore Beach, Black Head Lighthouse, and Corcomroe Abbey. The coach is air-conditioned, and a local driver-guide provides live commentary throughout the day. Food, drinks, gratuities, and hotel pickup are not included.
