Ferry trip was very smooth and uneventful. We had horror stories about the rough seas, but we had a perfect day and the scenery was a delight. The back deck was a bit crowded but manageable.

Very convenient ferry trip from Doolin to the Aran Islands. I liked this particular company because they offered a combination trip to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Moher. Book the ferry at the pier and not with the travel agent. The travel agent charged us 10 euro more than what the cost of purchasing the tickets the day... More

Having seen the view from the top of the Cliffs of Moher on multiple occasions in all kinds of weather, we found the boat ride to the bottom to be both fascinating and well done. The captain made multiple passes near both the base of the cliff and the nearby spires so that we could watch the birds diving off... More
