About this activity
A comprehensive 13-hour west coast journey from Dublin showcasing Ireland's most dramatic natural and cultural landmarks: the towering Cliffs of Moher, the lunar-like landscape of The Burren, and the vibrant bohemian city of Galway. Perfect for experiencing the rugged Atlantic coastline and Irish heritage in a single day.
Witness the dramatic features of the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren on a full-day guided tour of Ireland’s west coast from Dublin. Explore the vibrant city of Galway and enjoy a pub lunch in Fanore.
Depart from Dublin and learn about the region from your guide as you go west. Arrive at the Cliffs of Moher and follow the cliff path to the edge for breathtaking views over the Atlantic. Breathe in the ocean wind and hear the waves crashing below you. Explore on your own this breathtaking place.
Get a bird's-eye view of the cliffs and see the underwater caves on a large multimedia screen at the interactive Visitor Centre.
Stop at The Burren for 15 to 20 minutes and get photos of its otherworldly landscape. See rare orchids and admire views of the Baby Cliffs.
Then, explore the vibrant city of Galway, known for its strong tradition of Irish music, language, and dance. You will have around 1 hour and a half to explore on your own.
Finish your day with the scenic journey back to Dublin. Expect jolly commentary, anecdotes, and even some Irish music to keep you entertained on the road back to the capital.

Insider tips
- ★Arrive early at Cliffs of Moher to beat crowds and secure the best vantage points on the cliff paths before midday.
- ★Wear waterproof layers: Atlantic wind is fierce and ocean spray reaches the cliff edge—the Visitor Centre provides shelter if weather turns.
- ★The Burren's 15–20 minute stop is photo-focused; research rare orchid blooming seasons (May–July) if you're a botanist or nature enthusiast.
- ★In Galway, skip touristy main streets and explore Shop Street's side alleys and smaller pubs for authentic Irish music sessions.
Good to know

- •The Visitor Centre at Cliffs of Moher is accessible, but clifftop walks are outdoors and exposed.
- •Bring sturdy, waterproof walking shoes, wind-resistant jacket, and sunscreen; the Atlantic coast has unpredictable weather.
