Cliffs of Moher & Aillwee Caves Day Trip

Discover the rugged beauty of the west of Ireland on this day trip to the Aillwee Caves and the Cliffs of Moher from Dublin. We'll also enjoy a boat trip along the wild Atlantic coast.

Description

We'll meet at the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street in Dublin at the designated time. After boarding the bus and meeting your guide and fellow adventurers, we’ll depart westward. Along the way, you will see quaint villages, lush countryside, and some castle ruins as we traverse Ireland.

Our first stop will be the Aillwee Caves, where we'll explore this impressive cave system that offers a unique karst landscape, dating back 330 million years. These are the oldest caves in Ireland. We'll discover the geological and historical mysteries as we travel 850 metres below ground to see rock formations, waterfalls, and bear hibernation chambers.

Next, we’ll embark on an hour-long boat ride along the Cliffs of Moher, offering a different perspective of the cliffs. After the boat ride, you'll have the chance to walk along the top of the Cliffs of Moher, enjoying the view and visiting the visitor centre to learn about the area's history, flora, fauna, and geology.

Finally, we'll return to Dublin, arriving after around 12.5 hours, where we'll say our goodbyes.

Winter Tours

During the winter season (November to March), the boat tour will be replaced by a birds of prey experience. We'll visit a conservation centre to learn about the winged creatures around the Cliffs of Moher. We'll also visit Bunratty Castle, dating back to the year 1425.
