The Cliffs of Moher are one of those places that genuinely lives up to the hype. Rising 214 metres above the Atlantic, they stretch for eight kilometres along the Clare coastline, and on a clear day you can see all the way to the Aran Islands and the mountains of Connemara. This private deluxe tour gets you there and back in a day from Dublin, without the crowds of a coach tour.
Your chauffeur collects you from your hotel and heads west through a landscape that shifts from gentle midland pastures to the wild, windswept coast of County Clare. At the Cliffs of Moher, you have a full three hours to walk the trails, explore the visitor centre and simply stand in awe at one of the most dramatic coastal views on the planet. The scale is hard to comprehend until you are standing at the edge.
On the way back, the route follows stretches of the Wild Atlantic Way with photo stops at viewpoints that most coach tours drive straight past. A detour to a local organic chocolate factory adds a sweet contrast to the raw Atlantic scenery. With a maximum of just three guests, this feels less like a tour and more like having your own personal guide to the west of Ireland.
