Cliffs of Moher Cruise

location_on Dublin, Ireland schedule 1 hours

Overview

Sail out from Doolin Pier and see the Cliffs of Moher from sea level, passing beneath their highest point on Ireland’s Atlantic coast. From the water you take in the full scale of the cliff face and its seabird ledges.

Highlights

  • From the water: Look up at cliffs rising to 214 metres just north of O’Brien’s Tower.
  • An Branán Mór: The great sea stack and its seabird colony.
  • Wildlife: Puffins in season; dolphins and seals at times, never guaranteed.
  • Wider views: On clear days the Aran Islands, Galway Bay and the Burren come into view.

Good to know

  • Time on site: About 1 hour on the water; the journey from Dublin to Doolin is extra.
  • Activity level: Easy but exposed: open deck, Atlantic swell, wind and spray. Sailings depend on the sea.
  • Pairs well with: The Guinness Storehouse Tour on a day back in Dublin.

Facts

History

  • The rocks formed some 313 to 326 million years ago from river sediment in an ancient sea basin.
  • Sir Cornelius O'Brien built O'Brien's Tower near the middle of the cliffs in 1835.
  • Since 2011 the cliffs have been part of the UNESCO-recognised Burren and Cliffs of Moher Geopark.

Did you know?

  • The cliffs run for about 14 km and reach 214 metres just north of O'Brien's Tower.
  • At peak, some 30,000 pairs of birds from more than 20 species nest here, including Atlantic puffins.

Tour manager tips

  • Boats leave from Doolin Pier in County Clare, on the west coast – a long day from Dublin.
  • Sailings depend on sea conditions; anyone prone to seasickness should take precautions before boarding.
  • The trip is mostly on open deck: bring waterproofs and layers.
