Hello! My husband and I and children will be travelling to Ireland this summer. We will be spending 3 nights in Killarney, 1 night in ballybunion, 3 nights in Galway, 1 night at a castle and our final night at the airport. I am trying to plan our Galway adventures. I have family in this area, so I want to allow for time for them and am wondering if we can see the Aran Islands and Cliffs of Mohr in 1 day! Advice??

Hello,
You can definitely get to Cliffs of Moher, but to the Aran Islands, it might be tricky.
We were there and the problem was the weather. The ferries weren't operating that morning.
If you plan it out and the ferries are working, I think you can do it. Just start early.
Have a wonderful time.

I don't think that it is doable in one day. The first ferry out to the Aran Islands is at 10:30 am. The first one back is at 1 pm which gives you almost no time on the Island. Due to tides, the next ferry back to Galway is at 4.
You could do the Cliffs on your drive from Ballybunion to Galway
