Cliffs Of Moher Day Tour

Highlights / General details

Visits include the Cliffs of Moher themselves, an exploration of the Karstified limestone area of the Burren and the scenic drive along the Wild Atlantic Way. The tour also makes a highlight stop in the bohemian city of Galway.

We head out to the west of Ireland, where you will see the Irish countryside with its rolling hills and green pastures, also passing by the famous Curragh in County Kildare, where horseracing is king.

As we drive through the midlands, keep an eye out for tower houses /castles, built by the Irish gentry and Normans alike, serving as cold and damp places of refuge in times of uncertainty. Also, notice the lay of the land and see how it changes as you travel across the country. The further west you go, the wilder it gets. The eastern counties have green and grassy fields, and the midlands become rougher and boggier the more west you go. You will be leaving behind the good arable land where the sheep and cattle roam, trading it for the diverse, harsh landscapes of the east.

First we will arrive at the spectacular Cliffs of Moher. The Cliffs of Moher are 200 meter high, 8 kilometer long ridge of cliffs jutting out into the ocean. Spend your time wandering along the cliff edge, while looking over to the Gaelic speaking islands of Aran. Keep an eye out for an array of birdlife. There are fulmars, guillemots, kitty hawks, and the beautiful puffin that inhabit these cliffs in early summer. The adjacent interpretive center explores different elements of the mighty Cliffs, as well as ocean, rock, nature, and man. The virtual reality cliff face adventure movie called “the Ledge Experience” is not to be missed.

Lunch is available in the village of Doolin, which is famous for its traditional music.

Walking on wild remote limestone features in the Burren, you will be surprised to find it to be home to a vast array of flora, including Arctic and Alpine flowers that surprisingly grow alongside Mediterranean species- all thanks to the heat absorbing limestone, ecological farming practices, and the last ice age. The dry stonewalls, on the one side, and the wild Atlantic Ocean on the other, will leave you with a lasting impression of this rugged but fertile coastline.
