Cliffs of Moher Tours from Dublin

The Cliffs of Moher are 214-metre limestone walls that drop into the Atlantic, and 13 hours is the most common length of a tour from Dublin to see them. We list 11 tours that make the trip. Travellers have left more than 44,655 reviews on the tours we list here, with an average rating of 4.6 out of 5.

Combination tours around the cliffs

Combination tours add stops around the cliffs and run from 10 to 13 hours. One gives "2 hours at the Cliffs of Moher", one listing notes, and also crosses the Burren, passes villages such as Ennistymon, Lahinch, Lisdoonvarna and Kinvara, and stops in Galway; its rating is 4.8 out of 5. Another travels by air-conditioned coach with entry to the Visitor Centre. A third adds O'Brien's Tower to its entry tickets.

Guided coach tours with the entrance fee included

A guided coach tour we describe pairs a local guide with a bus to the Cliffs of Moher. It lasts 12 hours and includes the entrance fee for the cliffs, a local guide and private bus transportation; its route rides along Galway Bay and across the Burren, with Atlantic views at the cliffs, and the commentary comes from an Irish guide.

Small-group tours with hotel pickup

Small-group tours are their own way to reach the Cliffs of Moher from Dublin. The small-group tour we describe is shared with other travellers and lasts 12 hours; it lists hotel pickup from selected locations, air conditioning and entrance fees, and its route adds Bunratty Castle with its Folk Park, a stop at Durty Nelly's pub and a drive along the Wild Atlantic Way, with skip-the-line entry at the cliffs noted in the highlights.

Tours with a boat cruise below the cliffs

A boat cruise can show the Cliffs of Moher from below. One 13-hour tour includes the Cliffs of Moher Boat Cruise ticket, with a mid-morning start and a route through the coastal Burren and the village of Liscannor; we keep it as its own type because its highlights promise the cliffs seen from the water.
