From Doolin: Day Trip to Inisheer with Bike or Tractor Tour
Wild Atlantic Way, IrelandEscape the hustle and bustle of mainland Ireland on this day trip to Inisheer from Doolin. Discover breathtaking views of the Cliffs of Moher, explore the island on a tractor or bike, and relax on the white sands of the island's beach.
Meet your guide at Doolin Pier and hop on the ferry to Inisheer for a 25- minute journey. Take in breathtaking views of the Cliffs of Moher along the way and maybe even spot some of the friendly dolphins who like to ride alongside the boat.
As you step onto Inisheer, you will immediately grasp what island life is all about. See horses and local farmers, hear Irish being spoken by the locals, and smell the freshest air the Atlantic Ocean can provide.
Next, begin your bike tour of the island with your guide. Explore sunken graveyards, shipwrecks, castles, and much more. If you're not feeling up to a bike ride, hop on the back of a traditional Irish tractor instead to experience Inisheer from a local perspective.
In peak season, finding a restaurant to sit down and eat in can be difficult. After your guided tour, head to a local cafe that has tea/coffee and scones waiting for you. The local owners will also come to answer any questions and tell some local stories.
Afterward, you have the option to enjoy some free time to explore the island at your own pace. You could go to the pub for a pint, check out the playground with the kids, or simply chill on the beach. At the end of the day, meet your guide back at the pier and board the ferry back to Doolin.
