Cliffs of Moher & Galway City: Day Trip from Dublin

About this experience

The Cliffs of Moher and Galway City day trip is a guided tour departing from Dublin that covers three of the west of Ireland's most visited natural and cultural destinations in a single 13-hour day. The tour departs from Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane on Parnell Square North and travels to County Clare, the Burren, and Galway City, with a professional guide and driver included throughout. The Cliffs of Moher rise to over 200 metres along the Atlantic coast and the itinerary allows a minimum of two hours at the site, giving visitors time to walk the cliff path, use the visitor centre, and, on clear days, look out across Galway Bay towards the Aran Islands. The Burren is a karst limestone plateau in County Clare, known for its exposed pavements, glacial erratics, and a flora that combines Arctic, Alpine, and Mediterranean species in close proximity. After the Burren, the tour continues to Galway City, where time is given to explore the medieval street layout, the Spanish Arch, and the harbour area. Tickets cover roundtrip coach transport from Dublin, transport between all stops, entrance to the Cliffs of Moher including the visitor experience and ledge access, and the services of a professional guide. Food, drink, hotel transfers, and entrance to any unspecified sites along the route are not included. The tour is not suitable for wheelchair users.
