Cliffs of Moher

The main attraction for the day and definitely well worth it. With a maximum height of 214m (702 feet in old money ) and about 14 km long you will truly be amazed by these cliffs. On a good day, you will be able to see the Aran Islands, the Maumturks and Twelve Pins mountain ranges to the north in County Galway. After doing the ledge experience at the visitors centre (entry fees included) go and explore the area in both directions. Ranked among the most visited tourist sites in Ireland and a "signature point" on the official Wild Atlantic Way tourist trail.

The Burren

Step onto the Burren and experience the lunar landscape that is unique to all of Ireland. With the warmest ground temperature recordings in the country, you will find Arctic, Mediterranean, and Alpine plants growing in the same area. Scientist claim that of all the butterflies and moths species in Ireland only two is not present here. Can you prove them wrong?

Kilmacduagh Monastery

The monastery is sometimes referred to as "the seven Churches" with regard to the abundance of 11th to 13th-century ruins located in the area. The round tower is one of the finest examples in Ireland and is leaning by more than 2 feet off vertically. Legend has it that in the Diocese of Kilmacduagh, no man will ever die from lightning. This was put to the test when one unlucky man was struck, but the force of the bolt made him fly through the air into County Clare, where he died.

Galway City

Visit the "City of Tribes" and discover what Galway is hiding from the rest of the world. Home to the largest medieval church still in everyday use in Ireland and numerous other historic buildings. Explore Lynch's castle and the Spanish Arch or take a stroll down Shop street and see the buskers and other artists they trade. Christopher Columbus found Galway the hard way, we will take you there in comfort. We will leave Galway and the magic of Western Ireland behind us and return to Dublin at around 19h30 that evening.
