Island Drop-Off: Extend Your Scenic Flight Experience

Why just fly over the Aran Islands when you can land on one? Our island drop-off option lets you combine your Cliffs of Moher scenic flight with a true Aran Islands adventure. After soaring over the dramatic coastline, your pilot will bring you down onto one of the three islands — Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, or Inis Oírr — where you can step off and explore at your own pace. Each island offers something unique. Inis Mór is home to the ancient fort of Dún Aonghasa. Inis Meáin offers a deeply authentic glimpse of traditional island life. Inis Oírr, the smallest of the three, is a charming and walkable destination with a rich cultural heritage. When you’re ready to leave, simply hop on one of our scheduled flights back to Connemara Airport.
