Overview

Visit Aillwee Cave in the Burren, which is over 330 million years old. During your 45-minute tour, you'll walk 850 meters underground to see interesting rock formations, waterfalls, and old bear hibernation chambers.

Then, get on a boat for a one-hour ride to see the Cliffs of Moher from the water. You'll see how the cliffs tower above the sea in a truly memorable sight. You'll also walk on top of the Cliffs of Moher for an incredible view of where the land meets the sea.

Your mix of underground and outdoor adventures at one of Ireland's most famous locations will make your return to Dublin a lot richer.
