Cliffs of Moher Boat Tour from Doolin Pier
← All things to do
About
The cliff cruise gives you the Cliffs of Moher from the one angle the clifftop cannot: the bottom. The boat leaves Doolin Pier and runs south along the base of the cliffs, putting their full 200-metre-plus height over your head, past An Branan Mor sea stack with its seabird colony and puffins in season, a sea cave used in the Harry Potter films, and Doonagore Castle on the hill. The trip is run by the Doolin Ferry Company, the O'Brien family operation based at the pier, and takes around 45 minutes to an hour. It is seasonal, running roughly from late March to late September with several sailings a day in summer, and depends on sea conditions, so book ahead and be ready for it to move with the weather.
