go to the town Doolin and then take a boat that goes to the cliff . You'll see real wild nature, also you'll see puffins , razorbills and guillemots!

Anissa

You can walk the edge or take a ferry to see the beautiful Cliffs ! Be warned, the waters can get choppy so make sure you have your sea legs!

Kevin S

Amazing. Cluffs to the left offer better views and a longer hike but so worth it. Came in April and the wind was blowing up to 75 mph so be prepared

Petr Klika

Just behind the official overpriced parking you'll see another P sign. Follow it (10 minutes drive) and park at the farm for just €2/car! Then walk to cliffs . You will enjoy the view without tourists

Ricardo Batista

Check the wind and rain before going, it might screw up your visit. Otherwise, a great view for €6, including free Wi-Fi, a lovely cafeteria , and a virtual tour to the cliffs .

Lauren

Stay in Doolin and do the whole Costal Walk down to Liscannor. It's a difficult hike but totally worth it. In 2013 part of the hike between the Visitor Center and Doolin cut through a cow pasture.

Michael Dorogavtsev

Well , friends ?! If you want to walk in both directions from the central parking lot , then back and forth the entire trail you will take 15 kilometers and about 5 hours (with little rest stops)!

Carl Griffin

8km of tall and steep cliffs facing the rough seas of the Atlantic. The rocks are home to many species of seabirds such as puffin and kiitiwakes.

Millie Johnson

Amazing sites! A must see! Dress for the weather. The wind was freezing even tho the temp was 60°F. I wish I had a hat and scarf . Mud and puddles on the path. Worth every minute!

KT Florida

Beautiful & worth the hike to see the views at different angles! Wear good, comfortable hiking boots that you won't mind getting muddy & a jacket for the wind .

Michael Fox-Rabinovitz

Absolutely fantastic and breathtaking, one of the most scenic and impressive views i have ever witnessed in all my travels

Elisabeth Longshore

Another breathtakingly beautiful place. Visit, and walk north past all the large crowds (go through the gate onto the "dangerous" path. It's worth it.

Just amazing, it will take your breath away. Bring a wind breaker! It certainly windy . Wind coming from the Atlantic directly, fresh as it can be

Tiya Tiya

Besides it taking you breath away just think of the sheer height of it. See it, love it, take a million pictures and remember the day you gasped at it’s vastness and beauty.

Alexey Kononenko

Very inspiring place. A little bit crowded but with visitors but you can go beyound marked roots and enjouy nature. Visitor center has cafe . Road from Cork is very narrow in some areas.

Quentin Geddis

Beautiful view , lots of wind , pack a poncho for a rainy day! Can climb to the top of the tower for 2£ (1£) for children ????

John L.

Rather touristy , but great scenery!

Simmi Harsimrat Parmar

If in Ireland, this place is a must visit. It's very windy up there. Wear rain boots even if not raining. Try to go on a clear day for a better view .

Nate S

Beautiful but unfortunately it’s a tourist trap. Tip: if you’re taking a selfie, beware of the edge. Worrying that I was about to witness the death of tourists distracted from the beauty.

Carla Jean

You're At The Edge Of The Atlantic Ocean Where Heaven Meets The Horizon. Close Your Eyes & Listen To The Ocean Break Against The Cliffs , It's A ♥ Whole New World ♥ Experience!!

John Noe

Incredible views of the cliffs just south of the visitor center, you'll see signs about a walking path , only €5 to park and no other admission price.

Dustin Lee

Go left and walk over the wall for the best views and photo ops. Puffins are only there from march to July :(

Melike Özdemir

The view is amazing . When you go to the cliffs you will feel you live in a fairytale

The Employee of the Month

Do the hikes around the place, they are very fun and go on for about 5 miles in either direction. You need a binocular to see the puffins

Renee Summers

Small pockets of sunshine. Very cold in winter- dress warm Breathtaking views and worth the drive

Poetry

More than words can say for the adorable views . You need to experience by yourself!

TW ✈️????????

You don’t have to park & pay but we did. You can opt to walk the nature trails from Doolin. The cliffs are majestic!

Stephen Rroy

If you're not a fan of camping on cliffs , make sure to visit the Visitor Centre after your Cliffs of Moher tour for a unique experience. Read more

Denissa Goh

Worth getting to the top because the view is one of a kind! Tip for the winter: bundle yourself up and tie your hair.

Gwendoline Blampain

Stoning view . Seat on the ground and enjoy the silence and the view . Something you definitely have to do in Ireland.

This place is beautiful even on a rainy day, you won’t regret coming here!

Matthias Bauer

Keep to the main tourist area if you don't like watching people getting close to the edge where there aren't any barriers.

Harsimran Singh (Harry)

Absolutely Breathtaking Views ! Must See Place in Ireland - Edge of the Atlantic Ocean

Jack Diamond

Come for sunset and make it a clear day, if possible. Go up to the right of the castle , as far as you can inch, for great pics along the cliff at sundown.

Cearúilín Ni Riain

The cliffs consist mainly of beds of Namurian shale and sandstone. One can see 300 million year old river channels cutting through the base of the cliffs .

D !

Must do it in Ireland. One of the most beautiful places in the island .

M.G. Siegler

Bring WARM clothes and rain gear. The weather changes every few minutes.

Fabiola Pasquini

Amazing view ! If you have a short time there, go to the left side, the view is incredible.
