This day trip from Doolin to Inisheer island suits visitors interested in island history, local culture, and outdoor exploration.
Description
Depart from Doolin Pier on a 25-minute ferry crossing to Inisheer. Enjoy views of the Cliffs of Moher and watch for dolphins that may accompany the boat. Upon arrival, experience island life through the sights and sounds of local farming and Irish language spoken by residents.
Join a guided bike tour around the island to discover sunken graveyards, shipwrecks, and a castle. If preferred, take a mini bus tour instead for a comfortable exploration guided by a local.
After the tour, visit a local café for tea or coffee with scones, where island owners share stories and answer questions.
