Doolin Ferries to the Aran Islands

Doolin Ferries. Prices and Travel times.

With 3 companies competing for business at Doolin pier prices are as low as they’ve ever been. All companies are keen to have you book on line so that you don’t shop around on the pier. A phone survey that we carried out last week resulted in all 3 companies advising us to book online.

Certainly booking online does represent great value at the moment but if you go to the pier you may just get a better deal on the day. Be wary of stopping at offices on the way to Doolin pier.

Travel times from Doolin to the islands are:

  • Inis Óirr (Inisheer) 30 minutes.
  • Inis Meáin (Inishmaan) 40 minutes.
  • Inis Mór (Inishmore) 90 minutes. (Approx)

There may be many reasons why  other companies are not operating .

All ferries must be inspected annually and all ferry operators are required have their boats surveyed and approved and have a tax clearance certificate.

Maybe given the difficult times, some operators in Doolin are waiting till later in the season.

Ferries are available from Rossaveal in Connemara all year round from
