The ferry ride, the people, the beautiful landing, town, bed and breakfast, locals and great evening walking and stopping by the tavern was more than wonderful. Truly made the trip to Ireland worth every penny. I could not believe how wonderful and beautiful the people and country truly is. I am so looking forward to returning soon. More

The day we took our tour to the Aran Islands from Doolin, it was rainy and overcast. We were to go to Inis Moir but the people at ARAN2 Ferries said that the water to that location was too rough but to get on the ferry to Inis Oir and when we get back we would talk about the following... More

There were way too many people squashed onto the pier for safety. The people disembarking from the ferries could hardly make their way back up the pier. There are no safety... More

We took Aran Island Fast Ferries from Doolin because they promised comfortable service on the largest boat in Doolin and the fastest service to the Aran Islands. All of this was false. They do have a large vessel, but hardly ever use. Instead we were put on a boat entirely too small for conditions in the water. If you want... More
