I am still here in Inis Mor for a couple of days and would recommend anyone to take the boat trip to the Island. It is a wonderful experience so much to see and do.

The boat ride can be rough. Bring Dramamine with you. There are no pharmacies on the island! Once on the island though, it’s beautiful.

The boat ride over to island was nice. We found someone to drive us around and show us sites. He was very entertaining. Lunch on island was terrific. Did shopping and was able to send back to states. All in all it was wonderful day.

People of different abilities and ages could participate in activities on the island. Excellent day!

First visit to islands was grand! Outstanding weather greatly improved our chance to see Inishmor and the history it represents!

E-biking the island was great.
The cliffs at Dun Aengus are like mini Cliffs of Mohr and very worth seeing.
Favorite was walking over rock terrain to reach the Worm Hole; spectacular natural rectangular pool. Highly recommend.

Bring your snacks, water and sun screen. Ferry ride is pleasant with toilets. we took the hop on/ off bus at the island and the driver, Martin was so much fun. we walked around all the sites, bought a wool scarf from the lovely Sara F and ate ice cream before resting for a pint. great 6 hours!

Great day out on the island. We enjoyed a tour of the island and meeting cousins. THe scenery is amazing.

You get a voucher which you have to redeem either at the ferry terminal or in Galway. If you are just looking for tickets for the ferry you’re better off booking them directly through the ferry company.

Having all the stops, helped with not getting to sleepy. Our guide was amazing! Definitely a trip not to miss.

Seamless outbound and return journey getting passengers on and off . Outbound ferry left before time as a result we arrived on the island 20mins ahead of schedule

the landscape and history are fascinating, the people are friendly and the local cuisine is hearty and filling.

An excellent way spend my kids 18 and 20 bday!! bus ride to and from was wonderful. Boat ride was fun. We were prepared for rain but forgot to pack dry socks and shoes - our fault totally! Bike ride was fun but I think we would have gotten more local information from a pony driver. You MUST go see the fort!! AMAZING!!! If we did the pony ride we may have see more of the island but not sure. Biking was very fun and made the day memorable... but I don't know If I'd do it again. There is so much more to the Island I'd like to see.

The bike riding and the people were great, the bars were fun and of course the Guinness was unreal, loved it

Tírdhreach dochreidte. Daoine lách, fíor, flaithiúil. Ciúnas & síocháin ón domhan gnóthach Níor theastaigh uaim an oileán a fhágáil.

Hassle-free however it would've been nice if they also offered transportation or tours for the island.
Claire_M, Mar 2022
Had a wonderful family day out, rented bikes and off we went. There was rain showers at times and that didn't dampen the day we had! Would recommend it to everyone.
Bernadette_D, Oct 2021
Excellent online booking with everything running on time. The weather was kind also and we had a wonderful sunny day cycling around Inis Mór.

It was extraordinary experience for my young children and I. My 12 year old daughter said that it was an experience of her life time. Our tour guide tomás gave us an excellent knowledge and history of the island . I'd highly recommend it to anyone

Patrimoine historique, la belle plage, la location de vélo et la bicyclette qu'on m'a volée... 😊 Le beau soleil

Quel lieu fascinant, on a été très impressionné par les kilomètres de murets en pierre sèche, les falaises et ce ressac fantastique, à recommander quand on visite l'Irlande
thierry_n, Aug 2022
les paysages sont magnifiques. On a eu le sentiment d'être coupé du monde surtout que nous avons réussi à trouver des lieux où nous étions seuls ou presque!!! Par contre il y a à mon sens trop de véhicules circulant sur la route côtière, c'est dommage.
