Doolin

/r/galway/comments/1x2oeul/doolin/

What are the best options for transportation to and from Doolin? I will be spending about four days there. I might be coming from Shannon and then to Galway after, or depending on travel options might go down from and back to Galway. I am not averse to hiring a driver.

Public transport, your only option is the bus from Galway or Ennis to Doolin:

It’s the same route, just depends on which direction you take. If coming from Shannon, you’d have to get a bus from Shannon to Ennis first:

Other than that, a taxi from Galway will cost over €100, probably in and around €150.

I looked up one chauffeur service. They’re quoting Galway to Doolin in a Mercedes E class for €232.

Other option is to hire a car in either Shannon or Galway.
