Tour company suggestion for visiting Cliffs of Moher

Posted by Beans on 09/28/25 01:13 AM

We will be going from Dublin to Galway for 2 nights at the very end of October specifically to see the Cliffs of Moher.

We will not have a car and plan to arrive one day, take a tour from Galway to the Cliffs the next day and then return to Dublin the following day.

We see several companies online and wonder if anyone has a recommendation regarding the tour company they used to visit the Cliffs.

Also - I realize it is weather dependent (and who knows what we can expect at the end of October) but do you suggest a tour that includes seeing the Cliffs from the water combined with a shorter visit at the top of the Cliffs? Or skipping the view from the water and having more time at the top?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

While staying in Galway, I took two day trips with Lally Tours. One was a full day to the Cliffs of Moher:

I think they also offer a half-day version. I only saw the cliffs from the top, which were very impressive. I can't comment on the view form the water.

It's been a long time since I visited the Cliffs of Moher and I've never seen them from the water but a friend took a tour a few years ago that included seeing them from the water. It was the end of August and the water was pretty rough (there was an Atlantic hurricane brewing). A number of people got sick on the boat. My friend is a boater and it would take a lot to make him seasick. YMMV.
