The cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets. You can enjoy a hike or a relaxed walk, while gazing in amazement at this geological and natural beauty. The Cliffs of Moher also have shops and restaurants, anything from snacks and souvenirs available in plenty. Visitor charges at the Cliffs are included in the tour price saving you EUR 12.00. You will also receive a complimentary ticket to the award winning Atlantic Edge exhibition that examines all aspects of the mighty Cliffs of Moher.

   1.5 hAdmission included

3. We depart from the Cliffs of Moher for a stop in Liscannor a tiny west of Ireland village where you may wish to enjoy a delicious local lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder or lamb stew with a regional craft beer (optional). There are options to suit everyone from red meat to vegan and everything in between. On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.

   1 h

4. This afternoon we'll round off the day by taking a spectacular drive along the coast through the limestone scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way. The region all around us is known as the Burren - incredible local landscape!

   20 min

5. On the way back to Limerick we'll stop for refreshments, restrooms and coffee, sodas, water etc. Instead of stopping at a motorway service station this refreshment stop will be at medieval Bunratty Castle - much more interesting! Enjoy a brief stroll to stretch your legs, grab some quick photos and maybe some quick souvenir purchases from the shop. We'll soon be back on the road to have you back in Limerick to freshen up ahead of evening entertainment arrangements.

   20 min

6. We leave Bunratty Castle for the short return drive to Limerick. The tour finishes at 16:30 approx. (Passengers from UL please note that due to traffic conditions you will be dropped off in the city center)

• 5Don't miss this trip

  All the critical aspects mentioned in the reviews above seem to be improved. We had wonderful 1.5 hours on the cliffs and a whole half an hour at the castle, whereas there we was only one hour dedicated to the lunch. This schedule is absolutely optimal. And I was very glad that I decided to do this trip. The cliffs are unforgettable and the guide is gorgeous. If the bus is a bit late, don't worry. It's just because of the traffic. Just wait for it about 15 minutes.

• 5A Stella Adventure of Stunning Beauty

  Travel is an adventure. First decision to make upon arrival: Hike 7 miles one way through the Gap on paved, hilly terrain, or take the traditional horse and carriage ride to the boats on the other end. Most of the carriages fit up to 4 people and charge 140 euros per carriage. That’s a reasonable 35 euros per person, and a comfortable ride. A bit pricey if you’re traveling solo, so make some friends, and you’ll all save money! The tour itself winds through some spectacular scenery, passing the highest mountain in Ireland (some 3000 ft.), culminating at a nice lunch spot on the lake where a boatsman will come by for the second half of your adventure on the 3 lakes of Killarney National Park. One caution, particularly for elderly people in full carriages: There are 2 steep hills where everyone must get out and climb because that load is too much for the poor horsie to do. One or two persons, though, is probably okay. Know your physical limits and ask your driver beforehand. Other than that, this is an awesome tour, and you’ll marvel with delight at every turn. Just don’t pet the sheep along the way!

  It can be extremely, as in hard to stand, windy and weather changes in a flash. Wear waterproof clothing and footwear. Thus prepared you'll see spectacular views.

  Amazing and breathtaking views. Expect the tour to be very windy and cold. I just wish the stay could had been a lot longer.

• 5Cliffs of Mohar… and western coast of Ireland.

  Conner gave us an excellent tour of the Cliffs and western Ireland. He was knowledgeable, made it interesting, and was a joy to have as our guide. How he drove that bus and got along on little roads was amazing…. He’s a great driver too! Everything was so beautuful. This tour comes highly recommended. He even went out of his way to point out the thatched roofs I had asked him about. Thanks Conner!!!

About Limerick

Limerick is a Shannon-side city in the west of Ireland, with a Norman castle on King's Island, Georgian streets and a strong rugby and literary tradition.

Limerick sits where the River Shannon widens towards its estuary, and its oldest quarter lies on King's Island. King John's Castle, a thirteenth-century Norman fortress with round towers, dominates the riverbank, and St Mary's Cathedral stands near it, begun in the twelfth century. The Treaty Stone, on a plinth near Thomond Bridge, marks the 1691 treaty that ended the Williamite war in Ireland.
