Doolin2Aran Ferries is a great way to see the Aran Islands. Get to Doolin early. Talk with Donnie, Jimmy, Joey, and Frankie. Three are brothers Geraghy and Frankie is a Hughes and don't blame him for that. These guys are delightful characters. They love to provide coffee for the early arrivals. Their stories are delightful. We had to attend a... More

Amazing view suggested by Clare (Tourist Information, Doolin, Ireland) - I only wanted to visit the great stalactite in Doolin and Clare suggested to walk to the port and do the trip by Doolin2Aran Ferries to see the beautiful Cliffs of Moher - SURPRISE: this is including Duffy, the incredible dolphin!

Be aware certain times of the year they don’t do day trips to Inishmore. Inisheer may be the only available daytrip. We went in April and didn’t make it to Inishmore. My concern was we arrived the day before and talked to the staff and they guaranteed us a day trip to Inishmore and the Cliffs, so we booked with... More

Back in October of 2011, I took this ferry company out to the smallest Island. Before coming out, I was warned by a B&B on the island NOT to use this company, and to use the other company nearer to Galway. I didn't listen--but wished I had. Anyhow, I left on a Friday and was ASSURED I would be able... More

We went on the cliffs tour on a beautiful, sunny day and enjoyed the scenery but even with good weather, the waves were huge. After an hour on that boat, even I was feeling seasick and that's not normally an issue with me. The boat was a little crowded and there aren't enough seats outside. We had to hold on... More

The crew was very helpful and friendly, and the price was excellent considering the trip to the islands as well as the water tour of the cliffs. One crew member took the time to tell us about the nearby scenery and offered suggestions about the best way to see the Aran Islands. We will definitely be back to Doolin and... More

My wife found that she was prone to sea sickness the day before we were set to take this ferry. Joe was very helpful and understanding. He was kind enough to help us out even though it wad not their policy. I greatly appreciate this!

This review is for the Cliffs of Moher cruise specifically which is 20 Euros. You can also get the package deal of the Cliffs and Aran Islands for 25 Euros if you're up for that. The Cliffs of Moher are beautiful and seeing them on a boat is definitely the way to go. The ferry is very comfortable and the... More

This ferry company is one of the most informative, professional and safety conscious organisations I have ever encountered.. A wonderful boat trip to outstanding scenery and friendly staff who are only too happy to share their stories of this beautiful landscape... Well worth every penny and an absolutely essential addition to your holiday in West Clare!
