Irish Day Tours · Molly Malone Statue, Suffolk Street
A coach day from Dublin that adds the Aillwee Caves and a boat cruise below the Cliffs of Moher to a short visit on top. Pick it for the view from the water, and read the weather and cancellation caveats first.
This day starts like the other Irish Day Tours trip, at the Molly Malone Statue at 6:50 AM, but the stops are different. First comes the Aillwee Caves in the Burren for an hour, then an hour at Fanore for food at your own cost, then the Cliffs of Moher twice: an hour on the boat below the cliffs and 45 minutes on top with the visitor centre admission.
Guests who got the boat call it the highlight: you see the full height of the cliffs from below. The boat depends on the sea, though, and the operator can cancel small departures. One guest's boat leg was cancelled for low bookings and they were moved to a cheaper day without the boat and caves; another praised a guide who changed plans when the weather ruled the boat out. The rating, 4.1 from 39 reviews, is the lowest on this site.
The group is capped at 38, children aged 5 to 12 pay a reduced rate and infants sit on laps in your own safety seat. It is a 13-hour day.

★★★★★The boat tour is definitely worth it. You can get some good pictures from the top, but you don't really appreciate the cliffs as much as you do from the boat.
★★★★★Beautiful day despite the weather. Great to see the cliffs from above and below. Long day but we'll worth it!
★★★★★We had a fantastic day with Frank! His ability to pivot when the weather was not cooperating for the boat portion of our tour was extremely professional.
