About this activity
This ferry tour departs from Doolin Pier at 12pm, 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, and 5:15pm, so you can choose the cruise that fits best with your schedule.
The Cliffs of Moher Cruise sets out from Doolin Pier and follows the cliffs along by sea to experience from below these stunning heights. For a start passengers will take in amazing views of the Cliffs of Moher, The Aran Islands, and The Burren all while boarding the ferry at Doolin Pier.
After sailing for about 20 minutes or so the ferry will make a stop underneath the famous 'O'Brien's Tower' perched high atop the Cliffs at their highest point. The Cliffs of Moher rise to a magnificent height of over 214 meters (700ft) which you can really appreciate by sea. Here there will be an entertaining and informative expert on board commentary about the local history and wildlife. The Cliffs of Moher base is home to a diverse range of wildlife such as birds, basking sharks, dolphins, and seals.
The ferry will circle back by the Great Sea Stack 'An Branán Mór' which is home to Ireland’s largest mainland nesting bird colony. The Great Sea Stack plays host to thousands of sea birds that make it their summer home. The Cliffs of Moher Ferry gets you up close to view birds such as Puffins, Guillemots, and Razorbills just to name a few! Along the journey back to Doolin Pier you will pass the sea cave from 'Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince' and the famous surfing spot 'Aill na Searrach' where the 'Aileen' wave is caught. This one hour journey along the cliffs provides many fantastic photo opportunities and is never the same experience twice!

The sea was rough so although it was beautiful many people felt seasick . Im sure it is great on a calm day.
Cliffs of Moher Cuise is a must! When we arrived an hour early we decided to take the Aran Island and Cliffs of Moher Cruise a combined cruise. We went to the Island, then on the return cruised along the Cliffs of Moher. It was great. I would definitely recommend this combo cruise. The Aran Island we toured by cart was a great way to see the island in the time allowed and still have time for walking around. The boat comfortably held a lot of people with seating or standing on the rail for photos. We are so glad we took the time to do this, I would definitely recommend this to see the Cliffs and Aran Island.
This is a tour that depends on the weather. The weather was bad when we went, the boat was really rocking and it was scared, the views of the cliffs were not very good. My son and niece took the same cruise two days later and it was spectacular.
Enjoyed the trip.
