Galway to the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin: Day trip

Experience Ireland’s wild beauty at the Cliffs of Moher, with stunning ocean vistas and soaring heights. Towering above the Atlantic Ocean, the Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders. Stretching for eight kilometers along the Wild Atlantic Way, these sheer sandstone and shale cliffs offer dramatic views over the Aran Islands and Galway Bay. Begin at the Visitor Centre to learn about the geology and wildlife before walking the cliff path to O’Brien’s Tower for the most iconic panorama. Pause to watch puffins or feel the spray of the sea below—this is Ireland at its wild, untamed best. The Cliffs are open to explore every day of the year, but check the official website for updates on weather conditions.

Experience Doolin’s coastal charm, traditional Irish music, and scenic views, all within a relaxing two-hour visit. Perched on Ireland’s rugged west coast, Doolin is a vibrant village celebrated for traditional Irish music, coastal charm, and access to the Cliffs of Moher. Begin your visit wandering the quaint streets, browsing artisan shops, and stopping at a café for local treats. Walk down to Doolin Pier for views of the Atlantic and the distant Aran Islands. If timing allows, listen to live music in a local pub. A short stroll along the Burren’s limestone paths adds a touch of wild beauty before returning to your vehicle.
