Our driver/tour guide Alan made a very dreary day so much fun. The bonus of the horse carts on the island was unexpected and so great. Loved every minute of the island. Poor Alan kept apologizing for the lousy weather. We were not able to see the Cliffs from.on top but at least we did see them from below on the boat. Would highly recommend this tour

Great way to see the Cliffs

Henry_B, May 2024

We learned a lot of history while viewing nature’s majesty. A full day’s adventure. Phil was a great guide.

Couldn’t be better! A++++

Patricia_P, May 2024

Our tour guide and bus driver - Gerry - was absolutely fantastic in every possible way. He made it truly memorable. An incredible value for the price of the ticket. Thank you, Gerry!

Wow!

Jennifer_F, Apr 2024

We didn’t get to our meeting spot on time for this tour, but they suggested us to wait 1/2 hour for the next tour of the Cliffs of Moher (land only). Phil did a great job! We stopped at Dunguaire Castle, Hazel Mountain Chocolate and stopped for lunch on the way. Viator/Phil did not disappoint. The Cliffs of Moher is a must see!

Bundle up for adventure

David_P, Apr 2024

Gerry (our guide) was very knowledgeable and entertaining! We learned a lot and truly enjoyed this trip. A word of warning: boat ride to Aran Islands can be quite windy and chilly so wear warm clothing.

Another great Viator...

Paul_C, Apr 2024

Another great Viator tour! Our driver/guide Alan from Wild Atlantic Way Day Tours was great. He was personable, friendly, informative, and attentive. We had a really nice visit to the Aran Islands and the Cliffs of Mohr. It was great to see the cliffs from both the ocean and the top of the cliffs.

Amazing views and incredible experience!

Joanna_H, Apr 2024

This tour was incredible! Our driver, Alan, was an amazing guide for us- fun, and informative! The tour gave us such a unique and up close view of the cliffs on the cruise, just enough time on the Aran Island we went to (recommend bike riding when you’re there! And the fudge sold by Man of Aran)- wish we had a bit longer time to walk along the cliffs but if you hustle you can walk a good length of it- either way you’re going to get incredible views once you’re up there! It was a beautiful day when we went which made it even better.

Good not have been a better tour!

Brent_R, Apr 2024

It was a great day all around! Our tour guide, Alan, was wonderful! He was very knowledgeable, interesting, entertaining and kind. He made sure we got as much time as possible spending time at Aran Islands and at the top of the Cliffs of Moher after the cruise. We had a “crack” time!!🥰

A ray of sunshine on an otherwise dreary day

MNicolette_R, Mar 2024

Desire a typical rainy Irish day , Alan, our driver and guide kept the day lite and fun with stories about what we saw on the drive and recommendations for the Visit to the island and the cliffs. All were spot-on and made the days a very nice one….especially his connections to get the limited number of warm dry seats on the island tour bus

Gerry is a legend!

Javier_A, Mar 2024

Had an amazing time with Gerry as our driver! Shoutout to him for keeping up the energy when we were so tired after our journey. Tons of cool stops along the way, and the island was an incredible visit!

Stunning Views & Completely Unique Experience in Authentic Ireland

Amy_K, Mar 2024

This is a fantastic full day trip, we absolutely loved it and the extra effort for the boat ride along the cliffs from the water was totally worth it, would do it again in a heart beat. Boat ride was fun, Inisheer was lovely and everything about the tour was easy, well planned and executed. Our tour guide, and I could be getting this wrong, but I believe his name was Neil and he was fantastic!

Excellent tour

Mary_S, Mar 2024

Wonderful tour, with a wonderful guide! Gary was informative and highly entertaining. We loved biking on Innisheer and seeing the cliffs from both the land and sea was amazing.

Lousy weather great tour

Marirose_L, Mar 2024

Gods Artwork

Rhonda_G, Mar 2024

The view is so amazing. To see the hand of God’s artwork. To on the land we’re our history was made and after thousands of years it is still there.

Great day with Allan

Roxanne_C, Mar 2024

Our driver and guide, Allan was wonderful! However, i was concenrned when we first boarded the bus, as the gentleman, Damien who boarded us, (won't say greeted us), was extremely abrupt and grumpy. It seems he was the owner and arrives just to check us on, give Allan some grief about a cracked windshield and then left. Would seem to me that he is a bit of a control freak as there was no need for him to be there. Every other tour we have done, the bus driver has greeted us, checked us on board, sometimes took more passengers and payment and had friendly conversations. A relief when we Allan arrived and we realized he was our driver. The day was full of wonderful views, interesting stories with the locals on the island and beautiful sites. Would definitely recommend.

Island and cruise tour not to be missed!

Amy_B, Oct 2023

What a wonderful day! Alan our guide provided just the right amount of information in a charming friendly way. The views were breath takeing! The mix of time on the bus and time for exploring were perfect. We had the added pleasure of seeing 2 pods of whales while on the cruise! The walk at the top of the cliffs was as easy or challenging as you wanted to make it. You won't be disappointed with this tour.

Great tour!

Stefanie_B, Oct 2023

Alan provided an interesting and entertaining commentary throughout the tour. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip and learned things about Irish history we hadn't heard in the past. I highly recommend it.

Cliffs of Moher

Elizabeth_K, Sep 2023

I was disappointed greatly that we did not get to go to the Aran Islands due to the weather. The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful and breathtaking. Alan the bus driver and tour guide was very good , fun , and informative. Enjoyed the trip we did get to take. Thank you!

Worth every mile and cent!

Claudia_B, Sep 2023

A fantastic tour which shouldn’t be missed by anyone! And Alan, our guide and driver, gets all the facts across with a wonderful sense of humour.

A break in the Irish weather

Margaret_R, Sep 2023

I could not recommend this trip enough. Alan our amazing driver and guide for the day was one of the best I have ever experienced. My only slight gripe is the coach could do with an upgrade but comfortable enough. Inisheer Island was just beautiful. We just walked around and had lunch at the pub. The Ferry ride was okay but until you are on-top of the cliffs, its then you understand true beauty.

Great tour!

Serina_C, Sep 2023

This was a great trip. Our driver, Alan was informative and very funny. The island was lovely. I recommend the covered horse-draen carriage ride. Lunch at the island hotel was incredible. We didn't know the ferry would also take us out to see the cliffs from the water. That was a special treat. And there was plenty of time to hike on top of the Cliffs and make it to the gift shops. I definitely recommend this tour.
