Itinerary

Your tour begins at the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street

Meet your driver-guide at the Molly Malone Statue for check-in, then walk a short distance to the coach parked nearby. As you leave Dublin, watch the city fade into green farmland and stone walls as the road points west.

Drive west toward the Burren

Ride into Ireland’s countryside, where small towns and wide fields blur past your window. The Burren comes next, a famous stretch of gray limestone that looks almost like a rocky moonscape, carved by rain and time.

Explore Aillwee Cave beneath the Burren

Then, head underground into Aillwee Cave, a real cave system hidden under the Burren’s stony surface. Follow a local guide through dark tunnels and echoing chambers to see sharp rock formations, rushing waterfalls, and the geology that built this place.

Pause for lunch in Fanore village (at own expense)

Next, travel to Fanore, a small village along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, to grab lunch and reset. Take a breath of sea air and feel the weather shift as the coast gets closer and the wind picks up.

Cruise along the base of the Cliffs of Moher

After lunch, head to the water to see the Cliffs of Moher from the most dramatic angle: sea level. Board a boat and cruise beneath these towering rock walls, looking up as the cliffs stretch overhead and the Atlantic swells roll in.

Walk the clifftop paths at the Cliffs of Moher

Once back on land, get the opposite view from above, where the cliffs run along the coast like a giant edge over open water. Expect strong wind, wide views, and the kind of scenery that makes you stop mid-sentence.

Your tour ends at the Molly Malone Statue on Suffolk Street

Your tour finishes with a comfortable commute back to Dublin. You will be dropped off at the Molly Malone Statue where you started. You’ve seen Ireland’s west coast from deep underground, out on the ocean, and high above the Atlantic.
