The Cliffs of Moher above the Atlantic

Private day tour from DublinPrivate Tour: Cliffs of Moher & Galway

12h 30m, from 07:00
Up to 16 people
Your Dublin hotel
Free cancellation, 24h

Twelve and a half hours across Ireland, in a vehicle that carries nobody but your group. You leave before the coaches and reach the cliffs while the light is still low.

The day

A guide, not a timetable. Your driver will stretch a stop you love and skip one you don't.

07:00

Dublin, your hotel door

We collect you from your hotel. The early start is the whole trick: it puts you on the west coast before the tour coaches get there.

09:10

Bunratty Castle

A fifteenth-century tower house, complete and intact, on the road west.
Photo stop

10:30

Cliffs of Moher

Two hundred metres of sheer Atlantic rock, running fourteen kilometres along the coast. You have long enough to walk out to O'Brien's Tower and back without hurrying.
1h 45m · entrance included

12:45

The Burren and Poulnabrone Dolmen

A limestone pavement that looks like nowhere else in Ireland, with a portal tomb standing in the middle of it since before the pyramids.

14:00

Kinvara and Dunguaire Castle

A small harbour village with a castle sitting on the water's edge. The photograph everyone takes on this road.

14:45

Galway city

Two hours on foot through the old town with your guide. Seafood, street musicians on Shop Street, and the pubs that earned Galway its reputation for traditional music.
2h · walking tour included

19:30

Back at your hotel

Dropped where you were collected. Roughly — traffic on the M6 decides the last half hour.

Questions

Yes. The tour is private, and the price depends on how many of you travel, starting from €790. Choose the number of people when you book.

That's the point of a private tour. Tell your guide in the morning, or decide at lunch. The only fixed parts are the Cliffs of Moher timing and getting you home.

It will, at some point. The tour runs anyway — the cliffs in moving weather are better than the cliffs in flat sunshine. We only cancel for conditions that make the roads unsafe, and then you're refunded in full.

We run it in two vehicles travelling together, on one booking. Message us with the numbers and we'll send a price.

Message us and we'll move it if we can — we work with several drivers, so there is usually room. More than 24 hours ahead costs nothing.
