Full description

Embark on a guided day trip to discover the iconic Cliffs of Moher by bus. Visit Galway and its stunning surrounding landscape and see famous landmarks, including Dunguaire Castle and Kilmacduagh Monastery.

Depart Dublin at 6:45 AM and journey through the flat open plain of the Curragh. Pass the Irish National Stud thoroughbred horse breeding facility as your guide shares a wealth of history and information.

Head to the ruins of Kilmacduagh Monastery and its roundhouse—unique for the way it leans over by more than 2 feet. Spend 15-20 minutes here. Then, arrive at the Cliffs of Moher for a view of the Atlantic Ocean and explore on your own for around 1.5 hours.

Go to the visitor's centre for the interactive Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience with a large multimedia screen displaying a bird's-eye view from the cliffs, and a video from the underwater caves.

Next, discover the lunar landscapes of The Burren with a 15–20-minute visit and hear about the many secrets of this atypical landscape, home to the warmest ground temperature in Ireland.

Arrive in the city of Galway, where you will have around 1 hour to explore on your own. Discover its old-world charm on cobblestone streets that evoke an authentic Ireland of times gone by.

Then drive along the coastal route of the Wild Atlantic Way to Kinvara, passing Dunguaire Castle and the 12 Bens mountain range along the way. Return to Dublin and get dropped off at the meeting point at around 7:30 PM to 8:30 PM.

Our trip with Guide Susan and driver Igor was amazing!! Susan really knew her stuff and everyone was kind to everyone. All the guests managed to be pretty punctual at our stops, and the communication between guide and passengers was outstanding. If you’re ever thinking about taking this tour, we HIGHLY recommend it. We got some great pictures, souvenirs and memories, all thanks to an amazing team that was provided for us that day. Thank you guys!!

Loved it. But, keep in mind... It's a very long bus ride. I highly recommend a neck pillow and bring some snacks and water in a backpack. Tour guide was excellent... Very nice and polite. And the driver did a great job Too. The cliffs are beautiful!!

As long as you're prepared for the long drive, which we were, this is a great option for seeing the Cliffs of Moher. I believe we had almost two hours to walk along the cliffs and about the same amount of time to enjoy lunch in Gallway afterward (with two mini-stops for photos in between). It served our purpose of seeing the Cliffs of Moher with Dublin as our home base.
