Aran Islands Ferry

The FASTEST Aran Islands Ferry

Visit the Aran Islands to experience authentic Irish culture, breath-taking scenery, ancient stone forts and historical sites. The best way to get to the Aran Islands and to see the Cliffs of Moher is on our Express Ferry service from Doolin. This is the shortest crossing time to the Aran Islands – 15 minutes is all it takes to go direct to Inis Oírr (Inisheer), 25 minutes to Inis Meáin (Inishmaan) and just 35 minutes to Inis Mór (Inishmore). Less time on the water, more time for you to explore! 
Combine a trip to Aran with a boat tour of the spectacular Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s most popular tourist attractions. The Cliffs Boat Tour can also be done as a 50 minute standalone option.

Departing from
Doolin

The best way to get to the Aran Islands is from Doolin, County Clare. Doolin, Ireland is a beautiful seaside village with amazing scenery in all directions. It’s located close to the Cliffs of Moher and Aran Islands Ferry, so it’s ideal for a day trip, overnight, or extended stay. It’s just a short hop from Doolin to the Aran Islands with us. There is so much to do nearby, therefore Doolin is one of the best places to visit on the Wild Atlantic Way. The village is located less than one hour from Shannon Airport and 1.5 hours from both Galway and Limerick City Centres.
