Took my mum along for this day trip and wow, what a memory. Our guide (can’t remember his name, sorry!) had the whole bus laughing with these random sea shanty recommendations. The ferry over to Inisheer was a bit choppy (I nearly lost my sandwich to the wind) but so worth it once we landed. Walked around the tiny village—felt like stepping back in time. We tried the horse cart, which was a riot. The driver let me hold the reins for about 30 seconds (sorry, horse). Weather was honestly nuts, sun then rain then sun. Pro tip: bring a waterproof jacket no matter what. Oh, and get the scone at the little café by the pier. Still thinking about it. 5 stars from me, would drag my whole family next time.

Had a BLAST on this tour! Went solo and was a bit nervous, but the group was suuuper friendly. Our guide, Pete, was hilarious and knew all the secret spots for the best cliff views. Wind nearly blew my hat off (hold onto ur stuff!), but WOW, standing at the edge is just... EPIC. The boat ride was canceled b/c of choppy water, but we got extra time to wander Inisheer. Def worth it, even with the switch-up. Bring snacks—shops are tiny and sell out quick.

We did this with our two teens and had a blast. Guide (Paul?) was great with answering my kids’ weird questions, and even told us where to find the best fudge on Inisheer. Ferry was a little rough but nothing too wild. Cliffs are honestly STUNNING. I took a million pics. The crowd gets heavy after lunch, so go early if you can. Rain jackets = essential. Would totally do it again.

Went with my girlfriend and honestly, the cliffs were next level. Super foggy in the morning so couldn’t see much at first, but cleared up just in time—total movie moment. Staff were chill, but the bus ride was loooong. Bring headphones! Also, bathrooms on the ferry were kinda gross, just sayin.

So much fun! Group of five friends, and none of us had done anything like this before. Our guide, Emer, was a total superstar—so many random stories, we laughed the whole day. The cliffs from the water are INSANE. Felt a bit seasick but recovered quick. Loved the donkeys on Inisheer, they’re adorable. Wish we had more time on the island, but still, perfect day!

good tour but was expecting more time on the cliffs. our guide was nice and told us some wild stories about the island. ferry was packed tho, so if you get seasick maybe sit outside? weather was decent, little cloudy but no rain. lunch stop was pretty quick, felt a bit rushed but food was ok. would recommend if you like a bit of adventure.
