Galway to Cliffs of Moher and Burren Full Day Tour

About this experience

Galway to Cliffs of Moher and Burren Full Day Tour This comprehensive full day tour from Galway takes you to Ireland's most spectacular coastal scenery and unique geological landscapes. You'll explore the otherworldly limestone terrain of the Burren before reaching the world-famous Cliffs of Moher, where dramatic sea cliffs tower 700 feet above the Atlantic Ocean. Your guided tour begins with convenient hotel pickup from central Galway, setting off towards County Clare's remarkable Burren region. This vast limestone landscape creates an almost lunar-like terrain where rare Arctic and Mediterranean plants somehow thrive side by side. Your expert guide explains the fascinating geology and unique flora that make this area so special. The tour's highlight awaits at the Cliffs of Moher, where eight kilometres of towering cliffs offer panoramic views across the wild Irish coastline. Your admission includes full access to the visitor centre with its interactive exhibits covering the area's wildlife, geology, and cultural heritage. Along the route, you'll also stop at medieval Dunguaire Castle in Kinvara, the charming village of Doolin, and the historic Blackhead Lighthouse.
