Getting to Inis Oirr
Inis Oirr is easily accessible from the mainland town of Doolin, located on the west coast of Ireland. Our guided day trip to Inis Oirr starts at 09:30 am at Doolin Pier, where you will board a ferry for a 20-minute boat ride to the island. Keep your eyes peeled for dolphins and other marine life along the way! Alternatively, you can take a ferry from other nearby towns like Galway, Rossaveal or Doolin.
Exploring Inis Oirr
Once you arrive on Inis Oirr, you’ll be struck by the island’s natural beauty and rich history. Our expert guide will take you on a bike tour of the island, showing you hidden gems like sunken graveyards, shipwrecks, and castles. If you prefer not to cycle, there’s also an alternative tractor-drawn trailer tour available.
In addition to the tour, you’ll have plenty of free time to explore the island on your own. You could visit the local pub, playground or the beach, or take a leisurely stroll through the village and soak up the local culture.
Tea and Scones with the Locals
After the tour, enjoy a private tea/coffee and scones experience with a local islander. You’ll be taken to a local cafe where you can sit down and enjoy delicious tea and scones at a reserved table, while chatting with a friendly local about life on the island.
Returning to Doolin
At the end of the day, we’ll meet back at the pier and return to Doolin at approximately 2:15 pm, leaving you plenty of time to continue exploring the stunning west coast of Ireland.
