The first day focuses on exploring the landscape and history of Ireland’s interior and coastline. The tour includes a visit to The Curragh, a vast open plain of over 4,870 acres that has existed for more than two thousand years, offering a glimpse into Ireland’s ancient and ongoing connection with its natural environment. Nearby, visitors stop at Doolin Cave, home to the Great Stalactite, which has been a major attraction since its discovery in the 1950s. While the admission tickets are not included, the cave’s delicate stalactite formation makes it a special highlight.
Following this, the journey continues to O’Brien Ferries at Doolin, where a boat tour takes travelers along the coast to see the Cliffs of Moher from below. This approximately 20-minute ferry ride offers breathtaking views of the cliffs, the Aran Islands, and the Burren, with commentary about local wildlife and history. At the cliffs’ highest point, O’Brien’s Tower, the boat stops, allowing passengers to appreciate the cliffs’ impressive height of over 214 meters (700 feet) from a different vantage point.
The first day concludes with a visit to Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, providing insight into Ireland’s past. The castle, dating back over 600 years, features winding staircases and authentic Irish cottages, complemented by traditional music performances. Admission is not included, but the site offers a vivid look at historical Irish life.
The second day centers around the Cliffs of Moher themselves, allowing visitors ample time to walk along the paved pathways and enjoy spectacular vistas over the Atlantic Ocean and the Aran Islands. Recognized as a Special Protection Area for Birds, the cliffs host major nesting colonies of seabirds, making the scenery not only stunning but also ecologically significant. The two-hour visit gives enough time to soak in the natural beauty and take photos.
Next, the tour visits Hazel Mountain Chocolates, Ireland’s only bean-to-bar chocolate factory. Since opening in 2014, the company has won numerous awards, including honors from the Academy of Chocolate and the Great Taste Awards. Visitors enjoy a 45-minute free stop to sample their handcrafted chocolates made from sustainable, natural ingredients, sourced locally where possible.
The journey then takes a scenic pause at Kinvara Harbour, home to Dunguaire Castle. While the castle itself is a highlight, the harbor village offers charming views and a peaceful atmosphere.

There, travelers spend about two hours exploring before heading back to Dublin, arriving in the evening.
Throughout the tour, travelers traverse the Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland’s spectacular coastal route.
