VISITING the west of Ireland for the Irish Open? When the final putt has dropped, make the most of your stay with an unforgettable trip from Doolin to two of Ireland’s most spectacular destinations.
Located on the Wild Atlantic Way in County Clare, Doolin is the ideal base from which to explore the Aran Islands and experience the world-famous Cliffs of Moher from the sea.
Cruise beneath the Cliffs of Moher
Doolin Ferry is the only operator offering a standalone 50-minute Cliffs of Moher Cruise. Sailing from Doolin Pier, the cruise offers a completely different perspective on this iconic natural landmark.
See the cliffs rising dramatically from the Atlantic, travel beneath the historic O’Brien’s Tower and pass An Branán Mór sea stack. With onboard commentary sharing the history, geology and wildlife of the area, it is an experience not to be missed while visiting County Clare.
For something more exclusive, book a private tour aboard Doolin Odyssey, our five-seat RIB. Explore sea caves, arches and the dramatic Clare coastline at close range, with a personalised itinerary that can be tailored to your group.
Take the shortest crossing to the Aran Islands
Doolin is the closest mainland departure point for the Aran Islands, with the crossing to Inis Oírr taking just 15 minutes. Step ashore and discover traditional island life, beautiful beaches, ancient ruins and unforgettable Atlantic scenery.

Visitors can also travel to Inis Mór, the largest of the Aran Islands and home to the remarkable prehistoric fort of Dún Aonghasa.
Choose an island day trip, enjoy the Cliffs of Moher Cruise on its own, or combine the Aran Islands and the cliffs in one memorable day. With comfortable vessels, experienced local crews and a choice of daily departure times, planning your trip is easy.
Whether you are extending your stay after the Irish Open or looking for a day out between rounds, Doolin Ferry offers the perfect way to experience more of the west of Ireland.
