Experience Ireland’s world-famous west coast on this extended private day tour from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren.
Travel across Ireland from east to west and arrive at one of the country’s most dramatic natural landmarks. Walk the safe cliffside pathways at the Cliffs of Moher, take in sweeping Atlantic views from multiple viewpoints and enjoy the chance to see O’Brien’s Tower, nesting seabirds and, on clear days, the Aran Islands in the distance.
After visiting the cliffs, continue along the Wild Atlantic Way into the Burren, a striking limestone landscape shaped over millions of years. Known for its unusual rock formations, rare plant life and open coastal scenery, the Burren gives this tour a completely different atmosphere from the cliffs.
This private Cliffs of Moher tour is ideal for guests who want dramatic scenery, fresh Atlantic air and an unforgettable taste of Ireland’s west coast, all in one full-day experience from Dublin.

Relax on the short drive back to Dublin following a day of coastal scenery, historic landmarks and charming seaside villages.
Please note that all timings are approximate and may vary depending on traffic, weather and the pace of the group.
Your private guide will collect you in Dublin and begin the journey west across Ireland towards County Clare. Sit back and enjoy the changing scenery as you travel from the east coast towards the Atlantic.
There will be time for a comfort stop along the route, depending on traffic and the pace of the day.
Arrive at the Cliffs of Moher, one of Ireland’s most famous natural attractions. Your guide will introduce you to the area and help you make the most of your time at the cliffs.
From here, you can begin exploring the cliffside pathways and viewing areas, with spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean.
Spend time walking the safe designated pathways and enjoying the views from different points along the cliffs. The scenery here is the main event, with huge Atlantic skies, crashing waves and dramatic cliff faces stretching along the coast.
This is also a great time for photography, especially when the weather is clear and visibility is good.
Continue towards the O’Brien’s Tower area, one of the best-known viewpoints at the Cliffs of Moher. From here, you may be able to see the Aran Islands, Galway Bay and the wider Clare coastline on a clear day.
Your guide will share more about the landscape, local history and the importance of the cliffs as one of Ireland’s most iconic visitor experiences.
Enjoy time around the visitor area before continuing the tour. Depending on timing and group preference, you may have time to visit the visitor centre, take more photos or simply enjoy the atmosphere of the cliffs.
There will be time for a lunch break during the day. Your guide can recommend suitable options depending on timing, the route and group preference.
Please note that food and drinks are not included in the tour price.
After the Cliffs of Moher, continue along part of the Wild Atlantic Way. This section of the day gives you more of the west-coast experience, with coastal roads, open landscapes and Atlantic scenery.
The route may vary depending on weather, traffic and available time.
Continue into the Burren, a unique limestone landscape unlike anywhere else in Ireland. The Burren is known for its pale stone pavements, cracks, wildflowers, ancient atmosphere and wide-open views.
Your guide will explain how the landscape was formed and why the Burren is famous for its unusual mix of plant life, geology and heritage.
Enjoy a scenic stop in the Burren for photos and a closer look at the limestone terrain. This is a completely different experience from the Cliffs of Moher and gives the tour a strong contrast between coastal drama and quiet natural landscape.
The exact stop may vary depending on conditions and the route chosen on the day.
After exploring the Burren, begin the return journey to Dublin. Relax after a full day of Atlantic views, coastal air and Irish natural scenery.
The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most dramatic and recognisable landscapes. Rising above the Atlantic Ocean on the west coast of County Clare, the cliffs offer unforgettable views, powerful sea air and some of the most iconic scenery in the country.
This part of the tour is designed to give you time to walk, take photos and enjoy the cliffs from more than one viewpoint. On clear days, the views can stretch towards the Aran Islands and along the wider Clare coastline.
O’Brien’s Tower is one of the best-known landmarks at the Cliffs of Moher. Located near one of the main viewing areas, it is a popular point for photos and panoramic Atlantic views.
The tower area is a strong highlight of the visit and gives you a better sense of the scale of the cliffs and the coastline around them.
The Burren is one of Ireland’s most unusual natural landscapes. Its limestone pavements, open rocky ground and rare plant life give the area an almost otherworldly feel.
Although it may look bare at first glance, the Burren is full of natural detail. Plants from different climates grow side by side here, and the landscape has been shaped by geology, weather and human history over thousands of years.
This is a long day, but the route is designed to make the journey worthwhile. Travelling privately means you do not need to manage transport, schedules or group-tour crowds.
Your guide will look after the route, timing and key stops, while giving you context throughout the day. The tour can also be adjusted where possible depending on weather, visibility and group preference.
