Full Day Tour
CLIFFS OF MOHER, ATLANTIC EDGE OCEAN WALK&GALWAY CITY
Duration: 12 hours
Embark on a full-day adventure from Dublin to Ireland’s west. Marvel at the Cliffs of Moher, journey the Wild Atlantic Way through the Burren, and explore Galway’s lively streets on a guided tour.
Cliffs of Moher
Departing Dublin City Centre, your day tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Galway travels through the scenic counties of Kildare and Limerick before arriving in County Clare. Along the way, you’ll pass by the impressive Bunratty Castle, a well-preserved 15th-century Norman fortress, and continue through Lahinch, renowned worldwide for its surfing and golf.
Arriving at the Cliffs of Moher around 10:45 AM, you’ll be awestruck by their dramatic scale — soaring up to 214 meters at their highest point and stretching 8 kilometers along Ireland’s rugged western coast. During your 2-hour stop, take in the breathtaking views and consider visiting O’Brien’s Tower, perched on a headland offering stunning panoramas of the Aran Islands and Galway Bay.
Your tour includes premium admission to the recently updated Atlantic Edge Visitor Centre, where detailed exhibits showcase the cliffs’ natural and cultural history. Explore interactive displays, rare photographs, and engaging multimedia presentations. Don’t miss The Ledge — a state-of-the-art virtual reality experience that places you right on the cliff face, giving you thrilling perspectives above and beneath the sea.
Please note that food and drinks are available to purchase at the visitor centre but are not included in the tour price. You can enjoy refreshments indoors or outdoors with spectacular cliff views — the choice is yours.
Wild Atlantic Way & the Burren
Departing the Cliffs of Moher, we continue our scenic journey along the Wild Atlantic Way through the unique Burren National Park. Here, you’ll discover 75% of Ireland’s native flora alongside ancient monuments — including megalithic tombs older than the pyramids, mysterious fairy forts, and iconic Celtic crosses.
As we travel around picturesque Galway Bay, enjoy breathtaking ocean views and highlights such as Blackhead Lighthouse, Dunguaire Castle, and the charming fishing village of Kinvara. Our passionate tour guides, true storytellers at heart, will bring these sights to life with centuries of captivating tales.
If the coastal road is closed, we’ll take the alternative “Corkscrew Route” from the Cliffs to Galway. This detour offers a chance to see the Burren’s extraordinary landscape (with a photo stop, weather permitting) and spectacular views along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Galway Walking Tour
Next, we arrive in Galway the city of the tribe. Galway is Ireland’s cultural capital. Stretch your legs during our 20 minute guided walking tour of this medieval city. After the walking tour (participation is optional), you are free to explore the cobblestoned pedestrian streets that alive with music and street entertainers. Discover the hidden gems of Galway’s speciality shops, boutiques and cafes. Departing Galway at 4:30 PM, you can now sit back and relax as we begin our journey back to Dublin with wonderful memories to share.
