Description

The Cliffs of Moher are among Ireland’s most recognizable natural landmarks, best experienced with a professional guide familiar with the walking trails. This full-day private tour includes multiple west coast attractions beyond the cliffs.

Your 13-hour tour begins with a 5-star driver collecting you from your Dublin accommodation in a clean, air-conditioned car. Travel exclusively with your group and receive the full attention of your private guide.

The day starts with visits to the medieval Kilmacduagh Monastery ruins and the Burren National Park, known for its unique glaciated karst landscape. Next, receive skip-the-line tickets for the Cliffs of Moher, allowing more time to explore and less time waiting. Stand at the cliff edge and observe waves eroding the shale and sandstone, scenes featured in films such as The Princess Bride and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

The tour includes tickets to O’Brien’s Tower, the highest point on the cliffs, offering views over the Atlantic Ocean and the Aran Islands in Galway Bay. The final stop is Galway City, known for its art scene and cathedral. You may enjoy lunch here (own expense) and shop before returning to Dublin with your driver.
