Litter ruins it for all of us
Sep 2021 • Couples
As you might expect, the cliffs of Moher is spectacular and breathtaking. There are safe and reliable walking paths along the cliff that are protected by beautiful pieces of slate to keep you on track and away from the edge. I was disappointed though because of the litter. I found five masks, several cigarette butts, two plastic cups, one plastic lid, one straw, one popsicle stick and some sort of cloth strap from some thing. I hate to be a grouch but leave your cups in the dining area! Don’t take your cups on your walk. And if you smoke, put the butts in your pocket.

Don't miss!!
Sep 2021
There is a reason this shows up in the Top 3 on all lists of things to see in Ireland. We spent 5 hours walking the cliffs and could have spent a few more. See lots of criticism by those that don't want to spend the 10 Euro per person to visit. It's actually pretty fair compared to the other locations that charge 2 to 2 Euro and offer so much less. And if you can't afford that, then enter the paths at the other ends (there is a cost for convenience). And some complained about not being able to get close to the cliffs - umm, there were people hanging off the edges all over the place. If you want to get close - go right ahead. The harder balance is controlling litter on the paths. People can't be trusted to bring their items back and there are no disposal areas along the paths. Terrible to see all the trash left around. Wish we'd brought bags to pick things up along our walk.

Magical experience
Sep 2021 • Friends
First of all, the bus arrived on time and the staff were very organised and respectful. One of our friends was not able to book the day before but Dave was kind enough to accommodate him as the bus was not full. Dave and Joe were amazing. Joe drove us to and from Cliff of Moher and Galway safe and sound. He is a very professional driver and super nice. Dave is a funny tour guide. We did not get bored and he got us to listen to the interesting history and facts about Ireland and it’s people. He is a knowledgeable tour guide. He even gave us recommendations where to eat and what nice things to buy in Galway. Overall, it was excellent and exceeded my expectation. Highly recommended!!

A beautiful landscape
Sep 2021 • Couples
The Cliffs of Moher and the surrounding area are worth the trip. It is a beautiful landscape and worth the price of parking. I recommend booking tickets in advance.
If you have time, take a walk along the trail to the cafe on the hill or to one of the nearby cities

Must do when in Clare 🧗♀️
Sep 2021 • Couples
On a recent trip to Clare, we visited the Cliffs of Moher. Well worth a visit and a great experience. Staff are very friendly and will stop for a chat. The walk to the cliffs is lovely & the morning we did it was nice and dry and not too hot. It felt like an achievement to get to the top & felt really good, it is very safe & a very enjoyable walk. The views from the top are just amazing & something that are so worth the effort.

Incredible landscape and views
Sep 2021 • Couples
Stunning views of the cliffs from the official pathways, and the eather changed from sunshine to fog, changing the colours of the sea and sky minute by minute. The "unofficial" walking path continues much further than the safe official route with large official disclaimers and warnings, but looks far enough away from the cliff edge to be "almost" 100% safe.
Be aware the cliff is fairly soft shale and limestone and is being continually eroded - bits near the edge may quietly collapse away at any time, so dont climb over the barrier for a nice selfie on the cliff edge.
The visitor centre is nicely set up and informative with an immersive audiovisual presentation, and a well-equipped gift shop - all worth a visit.

On average how long would someone spend here on a visit
Cliffs of Moher Bookings
Liscannor, Ireland2 contributions
Hi Chef1201,
We recommend 1.5 - 2 hours for a visit, that way you have plenty of time to see the Cliffs from both sides, visit O'Brien's Tower, Visitor Centre and exhibition. It is recommended to prebook your tickets on our website for best rates.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
Best wishes,
Samantha

Is there any places to eat at Cliffs of Moher?
Looking at day trip tours from Dublin. There doesn’t appear to be food provided by the tour group.

Hi Carol,
Yes, there is a restaurant on the 1st floor and a small cafe on the ground floor of the Visitor Centre.
Most Day tours will provide you with a lunch stop, this may take place at the Cliffs Visitor Centre or they may stop at village close by like Doolin or Liscannor. You will need to check with the individual day tour to check where they take their lunch stop.
I hope you enjoy your time in Ireland!

Hello,
I only have one full day in Ireland and would love to see the cliffs. I would like to go tomorrow, but there are no tickets available. Can I just show up and see the sites?

You don't need to have a ticket to visit, you will not receive a discount but the gate rate is only eight euros a person or adult, if you are driving go to the parking gate and you might pay there or you will be directed to the visitor center to buy your admission/ticket again at the gate rate. It's a self guided tour or I believe there is an app for guided tours?
I did not book online I showed up early in the morning parked paid the fee and enjoyed two plus hours walking around.
Hope this helps you a little?

Is it best to stay in a hotel at the Cliffs or in Galway?

Hi Melenia,
There are some lovely places to stay near the Cliffs. Liscannor has the cliffs of moher hotel and some very nice B&B's. Doolin to the north of the Cliffs has Hotel Doolin and some fantastic B&Bs. By staying close by you could visit in the evening or early in the morning. It is a really wonderful experience to visit when the site is quiet. There are some lovely pubs for traditional Irish music in Doolin and some great places to eat, so I would recommend stopping by.

Hola
Pienso visitar los Acantilados en Mayo. No tengo en claro si hay que pagar alguna entrada para acceder y en tal caso si conviene comprarla con antelación. También como me.coy a manejar en bus o tren , si me.conviene alojarme en Galway y viajar por el día a los acantilados o si me.conviene más alojarme ese día en algún lugar más cercano
Veo que en esa época estará permitido el ingreso hasta cerca de las 21.00 ha y como dicen que es mejor visitarlo de tarde... pienso que la vuelta al hotel será se noche..Gracias por la información que puedan brindarme.

Hola marcela
Es mejor quedarse localmente, idealmente en Doolin, Lahinch o Liscannor.
Puede tomar un autobús público a los acantilados desde esas áreas. Visite Bus Eireann para conocer su horario o incluso tome un taxi hacia o desde los acantilados.
Si usa el autobús público, puede pagar cuando llegue o precomprar su boleto en nuestro sitio web.
Galway está a unas 2 horas en coche de los acantilados, es una ciudad encantadora, pero el tiempo de viaje realmente no le permitiría llegar temprano o tarde, a menos que alquile un automóvil.
Espero que esto ayude, si tiene otras preguntas, no dude en contactarnos.

I'm trying to sort out if it'll be possible to go there with my grandma.
If you go on a tour bus/boat how much do you need to walk? Is it possible to go all the way up in a bus?

The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience is fully accessible. If you travel to the Cliffs by car or by coach, the walk to the main viewing area is a flat surface, minimum of 50m. The Visitor Centre is fully accessible for wheeled access including an elevator to the first floor. We recommend to check the weather conditions in advance, as wind could be a deterrent if at a warning level. If travelling by car book tickets online in advance.
Disabled parking is available.
Wheelchairs available on request.
To view the cliffs by boat is beautiful also, check with the local operators for details on accessibility and suitability.

Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience
Liscannor, Ireland
There are many options to visit the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience. We recommend coming to the area and staying locally in Co.Clare. The Burren and Cliffs of Moher is a UNESCO Global Geopark.
There is the public Bus Eireann 350 from Galway, Limerick and Ennis. If you go for this option book your ticket online in advance as admission is separate. Ennis is a great town for a base.
You can also book a tour from Galway, Limerick or Dublin. Tours leave from Dublin leave very early in the morning and return in the evening with approximately 2 hours at the Cliffs. There are later options from Galway, Limerick and Ennis. Admission is included in the day tours.

HI, we have about 20 people renting cars and driving to the Cliffs of Moher from the airport in Dublin. We plan to take the North and south route (one each way). I am looking for ideas on must see attractions, places to stop along each way, maybe somewhere to eat along each way as well. This will all be done in one day. Leaving at 8 am and returning at midnight. Fingers crossed

McDermotts Bar in Doolin (north) has great food and typical Irish atmoshpere. I stopped at Sean's Bar in Athlone. It's only about an hour and a half west of Dublin. It's the oldest pub in Ireland according to the Guinness Book of Records. I've heard Killkee Cliffs are as impressive as the Cliffs of Moher along with the Dingle Peninsula and the town of Dingle is a nice little town. They also have Dingle Vodka! You should be able to do this in one day. The drive is beautiful but it depends on how long you spend at the cliffs. Some people walk 100 yards and say "wow that's beautiful now lets go". I walked the entire length of the cliffs stopping frequently to take photos and that took 4 hours.
