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. You'll see quaint villages, lush countryside, and some castle ruins along the way.
Our first stop will be the Aillwee Caves, where we'll explore this cave system, dating back 330 million years and known as the oldest caves in Ireland. We'll travel 850 metres below ground to see rock formations, waterfalls, and historic bear hibernation chambers.
Next, we'll embark on an hour-long boat ride along the Cliffs of Moher. This cruise provides a different perspective of the cliffs from below.
After the boat ride, you'll have the chance to walk along the top of the Cliffs of Moher and visit 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
Please note that during winter (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 in the area and also visit Bunratty Castle, dating back to 1425.
