Doolin is tidal, so you have to wait for the tide. The sea can be quite rough but the journey is short about 40 mins. More

We visited the Cliffs of Moher and stayed in Doolin where I strongly can recommend to stay at Cullinan's Seafood Restaurant & Guest House. One day we decided to see the cliffs from the waterside and I called Donie Garrihy from Doolin2Aran Ferries and he asked us just to come to the pier. We walked the two kilometers to see... More

My friends and I arrived in Doolin and bought tickets on this Ferry Line for a trip around the Cliffs of Moher. Little did we know the seas were so rought that none of the other Ferry Lines would go out that day. It was a terrible experience that could have been avoided had the Doolin 2 Aran Ferry Line...

We opted to take the Ferry to the first (smallest) island because we were able to add a trip to the Cliffs of Moher on the return to Doolin. The crew were helpful and accommodating. We watched them assist a wheelchair-bound passenger who was safely carried in her chair down the steep ramp for the return trip to Doolin! The... More

Dont waste your time with this company as the boats are oversold and crowded and thats if your lucky enough to get on board. People turned away after waiting over 30 minutes on a tour, never seen anything like it before in my life as no regulation on ticket sales More

We chose Doolin2Aran ferries based on the reviews here and were happy we did. We did the combination ferry to Inis Oirr and then the cliff tour on the way back. Once we got to the island we rented bicycles (I highly recommend this) stopped for a quick lunch and realised we would never get to see the Plassy wreck... More

This week we went for the Cliffs of Moher, but this time I decided that we should see it from the bottom as well as from the top and I have to admit that was a spot on decision. After the stroll along the Cliffs we took the 15.20 Bus Eireann (mind that the service is seasonal) to Dooolin just... More

just been to the cliffs on the Doolin2Aran ferry. It was the most wonderful sight to see the cliffs up close. The driver of the boat was really friendly also. We travelled in a party of 17 including a person in a wheelchair. The company could not have been more helpful and made sure the person in the wheelchair got... More

There seems to be two companies at the pier that compete yet use the same boats. One tried to tell us he could squeeze us into a 45 minute tour that wouldn't get close to the cliffs but would be a bit cheaper. He got annoyed when we questioned how close and cancelled the trip. We bought a full 1... More
