After your guided tour, your guide will bring you to a local cafe that has a reservation for you. No waiting in line here either, just walk in and enjoy! You will absolutely love this cafe by the way. Definitely try the scones!

After lunch, you can enjoy your free time on the Island. People love to go to the pub for a pint, check out the playground with the kids, or simply chill on the beach! You will meet your guide back at the pier where we will board the ferry en route back to Doolin.

Fantastic Day Biking to Aran Islands with Conor - We did the bike tour to Aran Islands with Conor and wha a fantastic day we had. He took us to all the spots on Inis Oirr, including the church, castle and shipwreck. He was very personable and easy to talk to and knowledgeable about the history of the islands. He took us bikes all around the island and we ended with a pint a the pub. Would highly recommend this tour with Conor C!

A Gorgeous Tour with Conor! - What an absolutely lovely experience! The Aran Islands are beautiful and this tour is an easy way to explore. We were lucky enough to have Conor as our tour guide today. He was a font of knowledge about the island and made the day so fun! The bike ride is really easy (a couple of hills, but nothing crazy). We had a lovely scone and even time for a pint at the local pub. The whole day went so smoothly. Can’t recommend the tour enough. Quick tip - Don’t forget to pay for parking at the little kiosk. It takes Apple Pay.

Inisheer Island Tour from Doolin for families - We did a private Inisheer tour with Connor, for our family of four. We did the ponies instead of bikes. Highly recommend the tour. Inisheer was beautiful! A highlight of our visit in Ireland. And highly recommend Connor! He was awesome with our young kids. He planned in time for them to play and explore. As a mom who usually takes photos, I love how he took lots of photos on my phone for us. I didn’t even have to ask. He was so friendly and shared great history, stories and we just enjoyed chatting with him and learning more about Ireland in general. If you have young kids, the private tour was helpful so we could spend a bit more time in certain spots and so your guide can be flexible and adjust the plans to include time for kids to explore.

Two Thumbs Up! - 2 thumbs up for these guys! Ollie was available and helpful as needed before the tour and Pat did an awesome job keeping us informed and entertained throughout the visit. The ferry ride to and from was exhilarating if a little wet, but the tea was hot on the ready, and the scones proper with butter, jam and cream. A great time, thanks again 😁

Book it and Enjoy! - we went on the bike tour this morning, with Eleanor as our guide. She was wonderful, just a bundle of fun to lead our tour. The tour was well organized. Although I had not written a bike in a long time, I managed to get through. Cannot recommend this tour enough.

Great way to see the island. - Great trip! Our guide Eleanor was very knowledgable and funny. She made it a great experience. Easy trip, taken in stages, with lots of stories along the way. No problem walking up the steeper hills. And the views and the sights make this a very memorable day. A word of warning, the ferry trip to the island can be a little bumpy, so don't up top if you don't want to get wet. Dramamine is helpful too. And I forgot to rave about the tea and scones. Delicious!
