Inishmore & Doolin Ferry

Inishmore & Doolin Ferry

From the port of Doolin you can board a ferry that'll take you to Inishmore, the most important site on the Aran Islands. After an 35 minutes sailing across Galway Bay, you'll reach the coast of Inishmore to explore the island at your own leisure.

Inishmore, which means "big island", is the most visited isle of the Aran archipelago. Make sure to walk through its green fields with stone walls crisscrossing the landscape, one of the most iconic sights on this Irish island.

What's more, you'll be able to see how the locals move from one place to another with horse-drawn carriages, ruins of abandoned churches and, of course, admire  Wormhole and its cliffs. They are quite an impressive sight to behold.

Departure times

You can board any ferry that departs daily at the following times:

• Outbound ferry from Doolin: at 10 am, 1 pm, and 2.30 pm.
• Return ferry from Inishmore: at 10.45 am and 4 pm.

To board the ferry, it is important to be at the terminal at least 45 minutes before the ferry departs, for both the outbound and the return ferry.

You can board the ferry back to Inishmore at the time you prefer the next day and stay on the island overnight on your own or get back to Doolin the same day - the choice is yours!
