Dublin: Cliffs of Moher, Atlantic Edge & Galway City

About This Tour

This 13-hour day trip from Dublin delivers three of Ireland’s greatest experiences in a single day - the mighty Cliffs of Moher, the haunting Burren landscape, and the colourful streets of Galway city. What makes this tour stand out is the premium entry to Atlantic Edge, a cutting-edge VR experience at the Cliffs that lets you soar over the cliff face and dive beneath the waves without leaving solid ground.

The Cliffs of Moher need no introduction, but standing at the edge yourself is something else entirely. Two full hours gives you time to walk the cliff-top paths at your own pace, climb to O’Brien’s Tower for the highest vantage point, and feel the Atlantic spray on your face. On a clear day, the Aran Islands sit on the horizon like stepping stones to America, and the coastline stretches endlessly in both directions. The Atlantic Edge exhibition inside the visitor centre adds another dimension, with immersive footage that shows you the wildlife and geology of the cliffs in ways the naked eye cannot.

After the cliffs, the coach traces the Burren coast - a stretch of cracked limestone pavement dotted with wildflowers, ancient tombs and mysterious ring forts. Your guide brings it all to life with stories of the people who have lived in this strange and beautiful landscape for thousands of years. The day wraps up in Galway with a short guided walking tour and plenty of free time to soak up the atmosphere of Ireland’s most artistic city. On the drive home, the coach becomes a mini-cinema with clips from Riverdance and Irish cultural highlights to send you off with a smile.
