Aistir Árann Minibus Tour
About
Aistir Árann runs an 8-seater minibus around the island's main sites, a straightforward option for visitors who want to cover Dún Aonghasa, the Seven Churches and Dún Dúchathair in one go without cycling or arranging a trap. Several small operators run similar minibus tours from the pier (Aran Bus Tour, Failte Bus Tour, Joyces of Aran and others among them); Aistir Árann is included here as a representative, verified example of the model. All are contacted by phone rather than booked online, and minibuses typically wait at the pier for arriving ferries in season.
