The Doolin Ferry Company

The Doolin Ferry Company has the largest and most comfortable ships in Doolin. So sail with them for unforgettable views of Ireland’s most famous cliffs and a great trip out to Aran. View 300 million years of history at the Cliffs of Moher during your stay at Shannon Springs Hotel.

Cliffs of Moher Cruise

This action packed, 50 minute trip takes in the very best of the world-renowned Cliffs of Moher, a geographical and geological wonder. Power across beautiful Galway Bay enjoying spectacular views of the Aran Islands and the Connemara coast. Marvel at the awesome 700ft Cliffs from sea-level. Keep your eyes peeled for all sorts of incredible wildlife including dolphins, rare basking sharks, even whales on occasion! Signature discovery points on this adventure include the mystical sea arch, the secluded Blue Cave and the Harry Potter Sea Cave.

Inis Oírr

Named one of the top 15 islands in the world, the Aran Islands are a must visit on Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way. If you want to experience genuine native Irish culture, this is where you go. You’ll be greeted by a traditional ‘Fáilte Romhat’ (you’re welcome) as the islanders still speak ‘Gaelic’ as their primary language. The islands are geologically an extension of the Burren, a Unesco World Heritage site and with a population of just 260 residents, it’s no wonder this island remains unspoiled. A paradise for nature lovers, history buffs, explorers or those who simply want to relax in one of Ireland’s hidden gems.

Inis Mór

Inis Mór is the largest and most popular of the three Aran Islands. It’s about 14 km by 4 km so it’s easy to explore on foot, bike or pony & trap. See its famous rocky landscape and iconic flowing fields divided by winding stone walls along with Dun Aonghasa, Poll na bPeist (Red Bull Cliff Diving Venue), picture postcard beaches, castles, forts and myriad other attractions of huge historical value and much more. Views from this Island reveal a stunning Atlantic gateway from Connemara to Clare. Prepare to have your breath taken away.
