Gave us all sorts of interesting details and history. He really knows his stuff. He made our trip so very enjoyable. Stephen, our driver was excellent. He always stayed calm and kept us safe. He was helpful with a variety of aspects. He’s a very safe driver. Thank you!Dear HappyTrails88888, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

- KarenM1_101,042 contributionsA must see!We stopped here with our tour group. Such a beautiful area. There is a lot of walking to do but for those that have mobility issues, a golf cart can take you to the top of one of the areas for pictures and then take you back to the visitor’s center. When we arrived, we went to the right and walked up to where the tower is located. There is an additional cost to climb the stairs in the tower and I read numerous posts indicating the view is just the same as viewing from the bottom of the tower. We then went to the other side and went about halfway up before the path becomes very narrow where it becomes difficult to pass others comfortably. There are several areas as you walk that are marked “danger” and if you venture past this point it is not part of the Cliffs of Moher Experience.Dear KarenM1_10, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

- Susan MQueensland, Australia34 contributionsBreathtaking trek it for the faint hearted.Absolutely breathtaking trek. Not for faint hearted or unfit tourist. We had a group of 3 with a lovely tour guide Sophia which was just perfect. We walked at a comfortable pace & enjoyed cracking weather. Each stop would have a better view than the last. The last 4kms was probably a little more challenging as there were a few steep inclines to get to the lookout at the O’Brien Castle.Dear Susan M, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

- Nadine A1 contributionCliffs of Moher: A must-see for everyone!First of all a huge shoutout to the wonderful staff of the Cliffs of Moher: From the garbage collector to the shop lady, every single one had a smile, kind words or just an overall politeness for me and my dog! Especially I want to thank Dave and Austin from the safety staff at the parking entrance: without prompt they came when they saw me in distress because of a flat tyre and without expecting anything, they jumped to my aide, called their local mechanic and in the end even changed my tyre themselves! THANK YOU! About the Cliffs there is not much that needs to be said: They are a must see, tourist attraction or not, they are UNESCO heritage for a reason and absolutely stunning (in pure sunshine as well as windy, fog mysteriousness!). The whole site itself is just a breath of fresh air when it comes to sightseeing: the buildings are build like Hobbit holes into the hill, so they are not obtrusive and nestle themselves quite literally into the whole beauty of wilderness and vastness you would expect! Yes, they paved some of the viewpoints with concrete to make it accessible for everyone and the free transportation for people with limited mobility is another plus! There is a free water station for both dogs and humans, the toilets are clean and well kept and the handful of shops offering their craft are neat and a delight for the eyes! Overall- I have to give 10 stars, was gladly paying the fee of 13€ per adult and happy to stay the night on the parking space without extra charge (although I was October, so not main season anymore) enjoying a night sky of stars! Thank you to everyone who made this such a wonderful, safe, glorious, epic experience! And again: Thank you to Dave and Austin for their considerate extra above and beyond aid!Dear nadineaB2289EJ, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher and your wonderful comments on the team and facilities, we are delighted we could be of assistance to you and will be sure to pass your comments on to all involved.

- MKTBETopeka, Kansas4,157 contributionsAbsolutely Stunning!Visiting the Cliffs of Moher, while in Ireland, was a priority. We were definitely not disappointed. The day was chilly, windy, and overcast, but I had expected that, and experiencing the great forces of nature probably added to the adventure. We feel very blessed that the fog had lifted somewhat as we arrived, and we were able to view portions of the Cliffs in all of their majesty. Soon, the mists descended again, and we were able to view the Cliffs through mystical fog! We enjoyed a long walk along the top of the Cliffs, but then were forced into the Visitor's Center as a strong rain had started. We have wonderful pictures and memories of our special visit to the enchanting Cliffs of Moher - a true Irish treasure!Dear MKTBE, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

We had the most fantastic day and the kids loved it. The views, walks and scenery were stunning and breath taking no matter what point you looked from, however for us the staff made our day that extra little bit special, my son has torn his ACL and we thought he would be sitting in the cafe waiting for us but no they got him a golf buggy and took him straight up, they were all so friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. Thank you for making our day as fantastic as it wasDear U2678PSemmah Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

- Toria ⭐️San Francisco, California331 contributionsCliffs of Moher 🍀🐑So unbelievably stunning. A truly incredible experience on the west coast of Ireland. I will warn you that the weather is really intense. I visited in early November and the winds were so strong i could barely walk at times. The rain seems to be far more intense than in other parts of Ireland. Wear warm/waterproof clothing and shoes with good tread since the path can be very slippery.Dear toriawilson18, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher. We are glad you enjoyed your visit. You are right, the weather can be much different at the Cliffs to other parts of Ireland and even other parts of County Clare. It can also change very quickly throughout the day. It is best to plan for various weather types when visiting.

- Duane BWest Des Moines, Iowa33 contributionsSights is worth itWe started off in Dublin, it was a long bus ride over. I unfortunately forgot to charge my batteries on my camera but used my phone instead. I dont think my phone takes very good photos though. Even though it was a long day on the bus I do feel the Cliffs were worth the trip. I do recommend checking this place out if you are in Ireland very much worth it. There is a lot of paths, but the time didnt allow to be able to walk it all. You can get some pretty neat photos if you are in the right spot wish my camera had worked.Dear duaneb560, Thank you for your review of the Cliffs of Moher.

One of the great natural wonders of Ireland. How do we manage it?
If you book online it is €8 per head and you can only arrive at a certain pre-booked time. If you arrive earlier you are 'fined' €4 per person.. rip off. If you rock up to the barrier it is €10 per head in the car with some discounts, children etc.
The cliff walks themselves are excellent, safe, well managed and a treat.
Entry to the Centre is free. We found the Centre visually pleasant if not inspiring. However the exhibition is half cooked. The seismograph exhibit was best, detailed, easily understood and very interesting. The exhibits elsewhere were very brief.
The Centre has not made up its mind whether to focus on the geological wonder that are the Cliffs or a museum of local history and geography. Both can be done but lets treble the size and depth of the 'experience'. Far too many parts of the exhibition seem an attempt to explain something complex in less than one hundred words.
The cafe upstairs was way overpriced and served the poorest quality cake I have attempted to eat in quite a while.
When leaving the 'experience' you pass five or six tourist trap shops.
Verdict - great natural wonder encased in a tourist trap.

First of all the Cliffs of Moher are the most beautiful place I have ever seen. I visited the Cliffs of Moher today along with my 2 daughters & my husband. I would just like to say I have never left a review like this before but it cannot go without saying that I cannot commend the staff employed at this place enough! They went above and beyond to help anyone who needed it, we were safely guided into the carpark off of the very busy road by the multiple carpark attendants who then answered all our queries while in the queue. The area was busy however it was very well managed and everybody was asked to wear face coverings while inside which was encouraging! A lovely man in a yellow t shirt directed us in the direction of the visitor centre where he’d organised for us to use the bathrooms as we were in a very long queue for the other ones! While on my visit I realised I had actually left my phone inside my car which my husband had taken to return to our AirBNB in Lehinch after the walk! The very friendly carpark attendant named Hanna then allowed me to use her phone to call him! This was an amazing visitor experience and we are beyond grateful for the kindness taken by every person we met along our 2 hour visit! Definitely will be recommending to others in our home town! And I notice the bad reviews below mine which may be true however the fee at entrance was explained to us as an admission fee which then covered our whole visit with no other charges and we were also told we can reuse our ticket for the next 7 days! €20 for a family for a weeks visit in an absolutely beautiful area is little for the amazing service we received!
Thank you everyone I met along our visit! I wish I had time to get all of your names.

Hi Aoife,
Thank you for your review. We really appreciate your feedback.
I will pass on your kind words to Hannah and all the team.
We encourage all visitors to pre-book their tickets on our website, you are then guaranteed entry and you can also save on your admission by booking and visiting off-peak i.e. before 11 am or after 4 pm, it is also much quieter onsite at these times as well.
I hope you & your family enjoy the rest of your staycation.
We continue to make improvements to the Visitor Experience so I hope you will visit again soon!

Booked our tickets on line which gave discount as people have said it 10e to enter carpark per adult, it 8e on line. This includes entry into visitors centre and helps with upkeep along with safe car parking so was happy to pay it. We were luck with the weather. We booked in for after 4pm and got told our tickets are valid for next 7days early morning or after 4 as it is v quiet. Masks worn in visitor centre and people were abiding by 2 meter rule walking around. O'Brien's Towerwas one family at a time. Not too long a wait and guide at bottom was happy to point out the different counties that can be seen while we waited... fantastic day out

Well worth seeing the beauty of these cliffs. We visited early in the morning so it was less crowded than I expected. Due to Covid, there were little or no tour buses which probably added to the quieter than usual cliffs. We paid €10 per person to park the car directly across the road from the cliffs. This got us access to the visitor centre, the toilets, the car park and the tower. I have heard people complain about this but the money goes to the upkeep of the attraction and for me it’s worth the money. I visited with 2 young kids but we felt safe at all times due to the work done on the pathways and walls etc. The stone barriers used were in keeping with surroundings and definitely work at keeping people at the right side of the cliffs. Of course, you can go beyond the paths on to earthen tracks but we were told at the gate that there was no access to these and with kids we weren’t going to pass the No Entry signs that we saw so many Others pass. There are quite a lot of steps to climb so if you do have a stroller or wheel chair, if you go the left side of the cliffs, it’s all on tarmac paths and you can go up quiet high without meeting any steps. There is some wheelchair and stroller access on the right side of the cliffs as well but it was a little rougher. Over all, it’s well worth the entry fee and I would recommend the cliffs for all ages.

Hi rubylass,
Thank you so much for this lovely review. We really appreciate this feedback.
We are delighted you and your family enjoyed the visit. We are continually updating the facilities both indoor and outdoor to ensure the best experience for our visitors.
For anyone with walking difficulties we have wheelchairs available at the Visitor Centre or we can take up to 3 people in our mobility vehicle along the Cliffs, this ensures no one will miss out on the best views.
I hope you and your family will visit us again in the future.

First time to visit. Weather wasn't kind but really enjoyed the day. The walks to the left as you go in seem to go on forever but we didn't get too far due to the wind and rain. But the views were great. The walk ways were really well maintained. The walk to the right to O'brien tower is much shorter but love too.
The visitor centre was good and little cafe upstairs was basic but scones and coffee were nice.
Due the Covid19 restrictions I.d image crowds were much smaller than usual which added to the experience for us.
There are complaints about 10 Euro ahead for parking but I think that is good value as the entry is for the Cliffs experience, cafe, toilets, visitor centre and car parking is included rather than the other way around.
Great day out!

There are no words to describe the true beauty of the cliffs and no photos will ever portray just how stunning this place is! Thankfully, both times we visited the cliffs (May 2018 and March 2020) we had beautiful sunny weather! It can get very windy though even with plenty of sunshine, so bring a warm jacket just in case. The weather is always variable in Ireland regardless of where you go so it is never a bad idea to prepare for anything! There can also be a lot of walking involved during your trip to the cliffs so make sure you wear comfortable shoes. If you spend roughly 2 hour here, that should be plenty of time. Along with the beautiful cliffs, you can go up O'Brien's Tower, visit the shops, and grab some food at the cafe. We traveled to the cliffs in 2018 during a study abroad experience and in 2020 we traveled to the cliffs with a tour group but the price for admissions is very reasonable if you were to travel here on your own. We could spend all day admiring the natural beauty of the cliffs if we could! You can walk along a path to see multiple views of the cliffs. The gift shop is also filled with many different souvenirs that are all priced fairly. If you plan to travel to Ireland, a visit to the Cliffs of Moher is a must!

Visited here on a Saturday morning in July. We arrived at the car park at 10.30 and it was relatively quiet at that stage. The cost for the car park is per head and costs €7 for an adult before 11am and after 4pm. In between these time it is €10. We had booked online so just showed email to parking attendant who gave us our tickets (we never needed to show these tickets in the exhibition centre, O Briens tower or anywhere else)
We visited the very informative exhibition centre first before going for the cliffs. First we went right and up to and inside O Briens tower. Then we came back down an went up the other side towards Hags head. The views are spectacular on both sides and cannot recommend a visit highly enough.
We left at around 12.30 and the car park was very busy at this time with long tailbacks trying to get in.

Enjoyed a ‘windy visit’ to the Cliffs of Moher - my advice would be to wrap up warm if visiting in cooler temperatures.
It was great as it was not busy so I had a chance to take my time and walk along the cliff path. The downloadable audio guide is a must and is a source of invaluable information and local knowledge.
In the visitor’s centre there is one of the nicer gift shops I’ve visited with the products of quite a few local artisans so there is something for everyone’s budget.

Dear Eastmidlander247,
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback.
The weather on the west coast can be changeable so a fleece or jacket never go a miss on a visit to the Cliffs. Morning or evening visits are a great time to visit as they tend to be quieter than at lunchtime, by booking your tickets on our website not only do you save time at entry but also get an online discount.
Our new Cliffs of Moher app is free to download from the app or play store and as we offer complimentary customer WiFi it's super quick to download. The audio guide contains tracks from the locals, information on all aspects of the Cliffs, maps, and all information to make your trip to the Cliffs of Moher memorable. There are also tips on planning your visit, the best time to arrive, as well as other places and things to explore in county Clare.
The Craft & Gift Store located inside the Visitor Centre helps to support over 60 local artisans and has beautiful products to suit any taste or budget.
Thank you for visiting, best wishes from all the team.

Wow, stunning hardly describes the beautiful rugged cliffs, amazing sights to behold. We visited recently during our staycation in co. Clare. We were a party of 4 adults in 1 car, to have to pay €40 for entry was somewhat excessive I feel. I understand that the visitors center needs to be maintained and staffed but I think, especially during these difficult times theses attractions should be cheaper particularly as the bulk of the visitors are possibly Irish. The cliffs were closed ‘due to covid19 ‘ we were told, now come on lads, your on the edge of a cliff, with gales blowing all around I’d say the chances of catching covid19 are fairly slim. If the views weren’t so stunning I would be giving you a one star. Too expensive for what is on offer at present.

Dear Juneygogs,
We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience and appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback.
The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience takes reviews very seriously as it is our priority to ensure all visitors receive an outstanding experience, while in a safe and welcoming environment.
Tickets purchased on our website or on arrival are for access to the managed site of the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience 800 metres of paved pathways, viewing platforms, onsite facilities and entry to O’Brien’s tower, a portion also goes to conservation as the Cliffs of Moher are a Special Protected Area.
The coastal walk while usually accessible from the visitor experience site is not managed by the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience and it has been closed by the Clare Local Development company (CLDC) due to concerns around walkers not being able to effectively social distance while on the trail, many parts of the coastal walk are narrow and only allow for one person to walk at a time, if you have 2 walkers heading in different directions and meet at one of these narrow areas they cannot properly social distance to pass one another.
Further to this there are currently repair works being carried out to address erosion and improve the pathways and this is highlighted to visitors on the signage at the access points, I believe this is the area our staff were trying to highlight was closed. The paved pathways of the Visitor Experience remain open even with the new COVID-19 restrictions (assigned on October 6th) with limited facilities on-site such as toilets, takeaway coffee and food and giftshop.
We appreciate that we could have communicated the coastal walk closure more clearly and we will work with our staff to prevent any misunderstandings in the future.
Stay safe & well!

Honestly that fact that you have to pay 8 euro per person to see a natural resource is crazy. I would highly recommend instead skipping the Cliffs of Moher and going to Slieve League ( in county Donegal) ( larger cliffs and free!! / a lot less people too so more relaxing on the traveler). Don't get me wrong the cliffs are beautiful but the fact that there is such greed to see an naturally formed feature is just what's wrong with Ireland, A small donation would be much more suitable. The cliffs are beautiful but greed is the problem here.

Hi StephenL3409,
Thanks for your review.
€8 is the admission rate for an adult, it includes parking, entrance to the Visitor Centre with exhibition, toilets etc and paved pathways along the main viewing points of the Cliffs of Moher. Best rates are available when you purchase your ticket in advance on our website, if you come early or later in the day not only will you avoid the crowds you will also save up to 50% on your admission.
The Cliffs of Moher is also a Special Area of Protection and with the Burren are a UNESCO Geopark site.
The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience is also one of Ireland's most visited natural attractions. The Cliffs of Moher Visitor Experience is a managed site owned by Clare County Council providing necessary facilities and services to visitors in this remote location.
The spectacular views make the Cliffs of Moher a must see in Ireland!

Hello, we are in Ireland in October and wanted to walk from Doolin to the visitor center along the Cliffs of Moher. Is the hiking trail open? I heard that there is construction going on in front of the visitor center, hence the question. I would also like to know if I can get back to Doolin from the visitor center by bus during this time? I would park at Doolin Pier. Can anyone help me? Thanks

The website says sunrise and sunset visits are incredible. However, the booking site shows opening time of 8:00. Are visitors allowed to go earlier than that? If so, is there still a fee to enter or park if before 8:00? Thank you!

I can’t be certain but the impression I got from our visit is that access to the natural attraction itself is free, but it’s not really accessible unless by car or as part of a tour (both requiring booking or payment). So if you can get there at other times, I suspect you’re fine-some sort of drop off might be best!

We are an active couple, what is the best tour for us at cliffs of Mohar? We like to hike off the Beaton path, do we need a guide or is it safe to do on our own? If we need a guide does anyone have any recommendations for late August? Which Aran islands would u suggest not looking for tourist shops

Hola! Pensamos visitar el Cliffs of Moher en ruta desde Galway a Killarney. ¿En el visitors center hay algun sitio con lockers para guardar mochilas? Gracias!

Hi I don’t think there is anywhere to store backpacks however I don’t think you will need them. The walk along the cliffs is relatively small so take the packs with you.
I don’t think the cliffs are so spectacular however so consider whether you need to visit at all!
Regards
Ken

On average how long would someone spend here on a visit
Written 21 June 2021
Hi Chef1201,
We recommend 1.5 - 2 hours for a visit, that way you have plenty of time to see the Cliffs from both sides, visit O'Brien's Tower, Visitor Centre and exhibition. It is recommended to prebook your tickets on our website for best rates.
I hope you enjoy your visit!
Best wishes,
Samantha

Is there any places to eat at Cliffs of Moher?
Looking at day trip tours from Dublin. There doesn’t appear to be food provided by the tour group.
Written 14 April 2020
Hi Carol,
Yes, there is a restaurant on the 1st floor and a small cafe on the ground floor of the Visitor Centre.
Most Day tours will provide you with a lunch stop, this may take place at the Cliffs Visitor Centre or they may stop at village close by like Doolin or Liscannor. You will need to check with the individual day tour to check where they take their lunch stop.
I hope you enjoy your time in Ireland!
