Private Chauffeur Cliffs of Moher Tour & Galway from Dublin

3 hour Drive to cliffs of Moher

Visually spectacular, the Cliffs of Moher sit astride the striking landscape of the Burren on one side and the Wild Atlantic Ocean on the other.
The Cliffs of Moher rise out of the Atlantic waters to a height of over 700ft at O’Brien’s Tower and run along the coast of Clare for almost 14 kilometers (8 miles). The Cliffs were formed over 320 million years ago and today form part of the Burren and Cliffs of Moher UNESCO Global Geopark.

Walk the safe, paved pathways, view the famous Cliffs on Europe’s western frontier, and enjoy the spectacular vistas over sea, land, and sky.

Their natural beauty has inspired artists, musicians and poets for generations, as well as absorbing scientists and geologists drawn by the unique landscape in which they sit.

The Cliffs of Moher, the most famous cliffs in Ireland, will leave you awestruck, creating memories that will stay with you forever.
Highlights

The amazing Cliffs of Moher themselves.

Stop for Lunch

As a designated Geopark Geosite, the pier is popular with geologists as the surrounding limestone is part of the youngest limestone in the Burren and is packed with fossils. On a freshly broken rock surface, you will see sparkles as the light reflects off the calcite crystals that make up the stalks of these sea creatures.

Doolin Cave or Pól an Ionáin features the Great Stalactite, the largest free-hanging stalactite in Europe and the third largest in the world. Step back in time over 350 million years on a fully guided tour over 200 feet under the karst Burren landscape. Afterward, take an adventure above ground and meet the friendly farm animals on the farmland nature trail and learn about the unique Burren flora.

Doolin is close to many of the Burren’s most popular tourist attractions including Fanore Blue Flag Beach, the spa town of Lisdoonvarna, the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience, the seaside resort of Lahinch, and the many national monuments of the Burren.

We are Galway

From majestic mountains, meandering rivers, peaceful lakes and breathtaking Atlantic shorelines, you will find that Galway has an unparalleled splendour and natural beauty all its own. The diverse landscape of Galway offers some of the most incredible and unspoilt views that cost nothing but leave an every lasting memory.

What’s more, Galway is a place brimming with history, culture and heritage, so it’ll come as no surprise to find impressive monuments, buildings, settlements, ruins and more scattered throughout. See the unique dry stone walls dotted along the road as you pass, spot the castle ruins in a nearby field, sit in awe of the beautiful religious architecture, visit iconic places synonymous with Galway, and stand inside ancient stone forts on the cliff edge of Europe.

Seán's Bar is a pub in the town of Athlone that is Ireland’s oldest pub, dating back to AD 900. In 2004 Guinness World Records listed Seán's Bar as the oldest pub in Europe. Seán's Bar is located at 13 Main Street, Athlone, on the west bank of the River Shannon in central Ireland, and was originally known as "Luain's Inn". It is often colloquially referred to simply as "Seán's".

This is a place steeped in history and you can still see the wattle and wicker walls on display. Listed in both “25 of the Most Incredible Bars in the World” and “50 Bars to Blow Your Mind” by Lonely Planet, a visit to Seán’s is a must! Pop in any night of the week and you’ll also see live music, laughter and an atmosphere like nowhere else.
