The crew was great, from the desk to the ship, were very friendly. The ship is a bit aged, but good enough. I would have enjoyed having more narrative through the speakers and to get closer to the cliffs to better feel the immensity of them. Overall, it was worth the price paid for an hour excursion.

This is a must!!

Walk the cliffs of Moher in the morning-go to the village down near the boat pier for lunch and then see the cliffs from the water afterwards-this is a spectacular experience! While walking the cliffs is also an amazing experience, getting as close to them on the boat cruise is unforgettable! And the price for doing this is beyond reasonable!!
