Overview
Departing from Galway Coach Station, this expertly paced half-day journey whisks you away from the city and into the karst limestone landscapes of the Burren, where our local guides share the history and geology that make this region a UNESCO Global Geopark.
The highlight of your morning is a 75-minute premium stop at the world-famous Cliffs of Moher. With your €12.00 entry fee already included in the tour price, you’ll have seamless access to the visitor center and the most spectacular 2km stretch of secure walking paths. From these 700-foot heights, enjoy panoramic views that stretch across the Aran Islands to the peaks of Connemara, all while benefiting from the perfect amount of time to explore without the rush.
Following the cliffs, we visit the charming coastal village of Liscannor for a relaxing mid-morning break. It’s the ideal spot to refuel with authentic Irish seafood chowder or local soda bread before we head back to the city. You’ll arrive back at Galway Coach Station by 13:30, leaving you with a full afternoon of freedom to enjoy the busking and culture of Eyre Square or Quay Street.
