About This Activity
The Cliffs of Moher soar up to 214 meters above the Atlantic along 8km of Clare coastline — Ireland’s most visited natural attraction. After walking the cliff-top paths and visiting the hillside visitor centre, the tour continues through the Burren, a vast limestone plateau dotted with ancient stone forts, wildflowers, and traditional villages like Kilfenora. Most Galway operators include a guided bus commentary throughout.
