Overview
Set off from Galway Coach Station for an afternoon discovery of the Wild Atlantic Way's rugged charm. This expertly guided half-day expedition transitions from the city's energy into the limestone heart of the Burren, where our local guides unpack the ancient history and unique geology that define this UNESCO Global Geopark.
The centerpiece of your journey is a 75-minute premium stop at the majestic Cliffs of Moher. With your €12.00 admission fee already included, you’ll enjoy seamless access to the visitor center and the most scenic 2km stretch of secure cliffside trails. From these 700-foot heights, take in sweeping views of the Aran Islands and the Connemara mountains, often bathed in the soft, golden light of the late afternoon.
Following the cliffs, we pause in the historic coastal village of Liscannor for a relaxing break. It’s the perfect opportunity to savor authentic Irish seafood chowder or traditional soda bread before the return journey. You’ll arrive back at Galway Coach Station by 19:45, perfectly timed to dive straight into the award-winning food scene and vibrant evening atmosphere of the Latin Quarter or Quay Street.
Planning to travel further tonight? You are ideally positioned at the city's central hub for onward regional bus departures, or you can take a quick 5-minute stroll to Galway Ceannt Station for evening train connections.

The state-of-the-art visitor center is built directly into the hillside at the most scenic vantage point of the Cliffs of Moher.

Prepare for 360-degree vistas ranging from the lush green pastures of Clare to the deep Atlantic blue. You'll clearly see the trio of Aran Islands—Inis Mór, Inis Meáin, and Inis Oírr—nestled in Galway Bay, while the rugged Twelve Pins of Connemara National Park frame the northern skyline.
Visitor Centre facilities include cafes, restaurants, gift stores, restrooms and relaxation areas (outdoor and indoor).
We stop here for 75 minutes, the perfect amount of time to maximise the experience without overdoing it.
The price of your tour includes your EUR 12.00 entrance fee.
