Cliffs of Moher & The Burren: Private Full-Day Tour from Foynes

A chauffeured private tour delivers you to Ireland's most dramatic coastline — 214-metre sea cliffs plunging into the Atlantic — plus the otherworldly limestone karst of The Burren, all at your own pace.

What to expect

Your private vehicle collects you at the pier and heads west into County Clare, arriving at the Cliffs of Moher for a clifftop walk with staggering Atlantic views stretching to the Aran Islands. From there, your guide leads you through the Burren — a vast, silent plateau of ancient limestone pavements threaded with rare wildflowers and megalithic tombs. Lunch at a handpicked local restaurant is built into the day. The return journey traces the scenic Wild Atlantic Way back to Foynes in time for all-aboard.

Good to know

This is a 6+ hour excursion — confirm your ship's all-aboard time carefully and share it with the operator at booking. The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre charges a separate site fee (approx. EUR 8–10 per adult); confirm what is included. Book this one as early as possible; private vehicle availability from Foynes on port days is limited.
