Our day tours from Dublin take in natural wonders and historic sights over more than eight hours. We’re all about comfort and convenience for everyone on our trips. To make sure you get the very best out of the tour, it’s advisable to bring the following:
– Camera
– Sunglasses
– Raincoat – just in case it rains!
– Charging cable and power bank to keep your devices charged (some buses do have charging ports but not all)
– Spending money / credit card to pick up souvenirs & tip your driver!
Appropriate shoes for walking on rough terrain. If you can predict one thing about Ireland’s weather, you can’t predict it. Stay prepared, and dress for the conditions. Comfortable and supportive shoes are useful too — the terrain may be beautiful, but it can get a little uneven out there
We drop you off in the same place as the start of the tour: from the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street.

Smiles and Stories from Our Travelers
“Jonathan was a fantastic guide and driver and gave us a wonderful tour with knowledgeable facts and a hilarious sense of humor. I was mostly excited about the ferry and all three parts of the experience met my expectations. I would definitely recommend this tour to others who want to have a full Cliffs of Moher experience!“
HOPE
“If you want to see the Cliffs of Moher, I really recommend this tour over the others, because the boat tour is definitely worth the price. In my opinion it was way better than the visitor center. The cave was also interesting. Our driver/guide was really nice, we had a wonderful day.“
ZSOFIA
“Fantastic trip, they do a great job breaking the trip into phases to not make the journey too long. We had rest stops, stopped at caves and did full guided tour, then took the ferry tour on the cliffs before having 1hr on the top side. Overall a long day but well executed and the driver gave us tons of history knowledge.“
RUDY
“Such a wonderful day! Phillip, the tour guide, was absolutely hilarious. His good mood never faltered, and he was happy to accommodate the whole group however he could. The bus was comfortable, and all the places we visited were incredible.“
