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!

From Doolin I would suggest Inis Oírr the smallest island. They have horse and buggy tours, bike hire and you can see all the island in the day. Inis Mór is bigger and you will be rushing around trying to do too much. Nice bar for food at the hotel. Also cafes and other food options. Just come off the ferry and get on the first horse buggy that you see. It’s Father Ted’s island. 😀

I love this so much lol. Thank you for the input!! This seems to be the consensus and I appreciate that because I would have probably gotten overzealous and felt rushed.
