Day trip from Dublin to Moher, the Burren and Galway

The cliffs are at the other end of the country, about three hours by road from Dublin, but day tours make them possible without driving. Wild Rover Tours leaves at 6:55 from O'Connell Street and returns at 19:45: two hours at Moher with entry included, the road through the Burren, Clare's limestone landscape, and two hours in Galway. It costs €75 (students, €70). Paddywagon Tours has a similar trip from €75.

It is a twelve- or thirteen-hour day, almost half of it on a coach. If you can, it is better to sleep one or two nights in Galway and go to Moher from there.
