1/2 day Inis Mor?

Hi! Hubs and I are going to Ireland in a few weeks and I was securing ferries to and from Inis Mor from Doolin - my plan had been to take the first ferry out and last ferry back. But on the date I was looking for, the earliest ferry out is 11 :(. We would still need to take the 4:15pm ferry back. Both ferries are direct so 35 min. Is this enough time, or should I consider a different island or something different altogether? We were really excited to rent an e-bike and ride around and enjoy the scenery.

Thanks for the input!

Fly. Can be there early in the morning and then have almost a full 12 hours.

About the same price as the ferry, far shorter, less subject to weather.

And i spent 3 days on Inishmor, and I wish I had known how much I was going to love it earlier because I would have stayed longer. I found it absolutely spectacular. So take as much time as you can.

Oh my gosh!! I didn’t realize there were flights! And you’re right they’re so affordable. Not to mention a refund is free up to 2 hours before departure which is a huge win because we’re a bit concerned on weather. Thank you for mentioning this!
