Standing atop the epic Cliffs of Moher and staring out at the thrashing Atlantic Ocean is a feeling like no other. On this day trip from Dublin, we'll bring you to discover the unmatched beauty of the wild Irish west coast.
Day Trip to Ireland's West Coast: What to Expect
After meeting up at the Molly Malone Statue in Dublin at 6:50 am, we'll board a comfortable coach and venture out into the Irish countryside, passing the Guinness Factory, Kilmainham Jail, and Curragh horseracing track along the way. As we head west towards the Cliffs of Moher, the famous countryside of the Emerald Isle will reveal its vast and beautiful landscapes, picturesque villages, and striking castle ruins.
The Cliffs of Moher
Reaching the Cliffs of Moher, you'll be instantly captivated by the breathtaking views. Measuring 214m (702 feet) at their highest point, we'll walk along the path which runs along the rugged sea cliffs and marvel and the beauty of the Irish coastline. We'll also stop off at the interactive Visitor Centre, where we'll get to see the wonderous caves which lie underneath the cliffs, on a multimedia screen.

While we're here, we'll enjoy a coastal walk and enjoy the unique scenery and beautiful native vegetation.
