Full description

Witness the dramatic features of the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren on a full-day guided tour of Ireland’s west coast from Dublin. Explore the vibrant city of Galway and enjoy a pub lunch in Doolin.

Depart from Dublin and learn about the region from your guide as you go west. Arrive at the Cliffs of Moher and follow the cliff path to the edge for breathtaking views over the Atlantic. Breathe in the ocean wind and hear the waves crashing below you. Explore on your own for 1.5 hours.

Get a bird's-eye view of the cliffs and see the underwater caves on a large multimedia screen at the interactive Visitor Centre. Continue to the charming village of Doolin for lunch in a local pub and spot the Aran Islands in the distance along the way.

Stop at The Burren for 15 to 20 minutes and get photos of its otherworldly landscape. See rare orchids and admire views of the Baby Cliffs. 

Then, explore the vibrant city of Galway, known for its strong tradition of Irish music, language, and dance. You will have around 1 hour to explore on your own.

We really enjoyed our trip to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway. Our driver and Tour Guide, Bud, was fantastic, very funny and may I say, also very knowledgeable. He shared many stories, colorful facts and little tidbits as we went along the way and pointed out different historical places and interesting sites and locations throughout the journey. Luckily, we had a clear day at the Cliffs of Moher so that we could take in the incredible, stunning and breathtaking vistas. We also stopped for lunch in the cool village of Doolin after visiting the Cliffs and then stopped to see the rocky limestone formations at the Burren landscape along the coastline. After that we headed to Galway where we enjoyed a leisurely stroll in the town center and did some light shopping for gifts and souvenirs. All in all, this was a great day trip with memories for a lifetime. Many thanks to Bud for a safe, fun and enjoyable tour.
