Boat Tour to the Cliffs of Moher and Aillwee Cave
A 13-hour tour from Dublin featuring Aillwee Cave, a Cliffs of Moher boat cruise, and cliff-top views with O’Brien’s Tower visit.
The tour departs Dublin at 6:50 AM from the Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street, beginning a full-day journey through the dramatic landscapes of Ireland’s west coast. The first stop is Aillwee Cave in the Burren, where a guided 45-minute underground tour explores a 330-million-year-old cave system filled with waterfalls, rock formations, ancient bear remains, and vast chasms hidden 850 metres beneath the surface. This fascinating geological experience offers insight into the region’s natural history and underground wonders.
The adventure continues with a one-hour Cliffs of Moher boat cruise, providing a spectacular sea-level perspective of Ireland’s most iconic cliffs as they tower above the Atlantic Ocean. After a lunch stop in Fanore village with distant views of the Aran Islands, the tour moves to the summit of the Cliffs of Moher, where visitors can explore O’Brien’s Tower and the visitor centre while enjoying panoramic coastal scenery. The day concludes with a return to Dublin in the evening after an unforgettable combination of underground exploration, ocean views, and dramatic cliffside landscapes.
