Additional Information

Embark on a stunning guided tour along the Cliffs of Moher sea cliffs with a local farmer, historian, and walking enthusiast, who pours his love for the area, its rich history, folk tales, and rural way of life into the walk. Traverse to the highest peak of the Cliffs of Moher, towering 214m (702 feet) above sea level. On a clear day, you can behold awe-inspiring views of the Dingle Peninsula and Loop Head in the South, the Aran Islands to the West, and the Twelve Pins along with Connemara’s mountains to the North from this point. Witness from O’ Brien’s Tower the dramatically contrasting vistas of verdant grasslands, rugged cliffs, and the ever-changing hues of ocean and sky, while listening to the powerful Atlantic’s waves crash beneath. The journey, roughly 3 hours on a gravel pathway, concludes at the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre. Following your stroll, a taxi ride back to Doolin village is provided. The 8 km trail, easy to navigate, demands basic fitness and a comfort with heights.

Awesome - If you want to experience Cliffs of Mohr, then you must book this hike. It’s rough in some places but so worth the effort. The views of the cliffs can’t be seen on your own and are breath taking. Thank you Patrick and Alex!

Scenery that the Cliffs of Mohr center cannot duplicate and great conversation too!! - This was a terrific outdoor experience, walking along the cliffs and talking with Pat! The views were terrific!! The ever changing scenes as the ocean fog come in and out, the bashing Atlantic waves- these are things you cannot experience by just going to the Cliffs of Mohr center, along with hords of other people. Please note that this briskly paced walk has a very steep incline at the end. If your balance is questionable or your knees are mildly arthritic- strongly recommend bringing poles.

Best tour of Cliffs of Moher - Pat was an excellent and entertaining guide over the Cliffs. He grew up there and it was his playground as a child. He now farms there and his farm actually borders the Atlantic. He led us on an incredible hike, sometimes a little slippery and muddy but he made sure we alll stayed focused. I couldn’t imagine any tour bus will ever show you the views we got from this particular hike. It took about 4 hours in total. Well worth it.

A Good Walk with a Good Guide. - It was great to walk with Pat. He is very knowledgeable about the scenery and added his local insight to everything we saw. He is very passionate about the history, his community, and the scenery along the cliffs. He provided plenty of time at each stop to take photos and look around. While he says he isn't a photographer, he can certainly point out sights and angles to get some good shots. In the end, Pat was not a tour guide but more like a friend you just met showing around his home turf. A good walk, a good guide, and someone you'd be glad to meet in the local pub for a pint.

Incomparable experience, must see! - Pat and Sophia were amazing tour guides. The hike along the cliffs from Doolin to the visitor center (4.3 miles) was filled with adventure and great local storytelling. We thoroughly enjoyed seeing the area in relative seclusion with our tour companions from South Africa. We took many photos that we would have never had the opportunity to take without Pats guidance. Strongly advise you wear boots, bring a walking stick and sense of adventure. It is great stretch of the legs and no better views on earth.

A must-do in Doolin! - What a great way to see the cliffs as you pass by acres of farmland and old stone walls. It is a fairly strenuous hike that goes up about 800 vertical feet but it is invigorating and all in our group made it up without an issue. There are plenty of opportunities for breaks whenever you need them. This tour gives you a completely different perspective than simply driving to the visitor's center, and the background information provided by our guide, Ollie, was fascinating. The best part of traveling is to immerse yourself in your destination, and this tour does that perfectly. Special shout-out to Ollie for his enthusiasm, friendliness and the way he made us all friends by the end of the tour!

Simply amazing - Pat and Mark were very knowledgeable and friendly and the views are amazing. Hard to describe how beautiful this was. It’s a hike for three hours with a few stops to take in the views. Make sure you have good shoes on. I highly recommend it.
