  • Day 2 Cliffs of Moher Discovery Day

    5 Miles / 8 Km 2-3 Hrs 920 ft / 280 Metres

    Today’s Discovery Day takes you to one of Ireland’s most iconic landmarks from three different angles, combining a visit to the Cliffs of Moher Visitor Centre, a hike to Doolin and an Atlantic cruise into a single, varied day.
    Part 1: A morning transfer to the Cliffs of Moher & Visitor Centre where you can explore the most famous 1.5km section of the trail and enjoy breath-taking views of the cliffs that rise vertically more than 200m from the sea.
    Part 2: After another short transfer, you rejoin the trail for a 6km hike along well-maintained gravel and grassy paths, with sweeping sea views throughout. A walk through the colourful village of Doolin brings you to your accommodation.
    Part 3: After your hike, a Cliffs of Moher cruise along the Atlantic coastline lets you see the full scale of the cliffs from the sea with commentary on the history of Hags Head and O’Brien’s Tower along the way.

  • Day 3 Doolin to Fanore

    11 Miles / 18 Km 4-6 Hrs 250 Metres

    Today’s hike follows quiet country roads through the less-visited corners of the Burren, with an optional visit to Doolin Cave adding an underground dimension to the day. The route passes through peaceful farmlands near Lisdoonvarna before climbing the side of Slieve Elva on old farm tracks, where views open up across the Atlantic and toward the Aran Islands. The descent into Fanore reveals more beautiful coastal scenery as you drop down toward the beach. A short transfer returns you to your accommodation in Doolin.

  • Day 4 Fanore (Faunarooska) to Ballyvaughan

    9.5 or 12.5 miles / 15 or 20 Km 4-6 Hrs 400 Metres

    Transfer to Fanore in the morning where, from the hills above Fanore, you can enjoy some last views across the Atlantic before crossing the shoulder of Slieve Elva towards the Caher Valley. Another ridge brings you into the fertile Rathborney River Valley. After passing the 16th century Newtown Castle, you will have an option to shorten your hike with a woodland walk, or continue through fields and woodlands to the famous Aillwee Cave before arriving in Ballyvaughan, your stop for the night.

  • Day 5 Departure from Ballyvaughan

    Take a bus from Ballyvaughan to Galway. There are regular bus and train services from Galway. Your hosts can usually provide the most accurate local details, but if you need additional guidance, our team is happy to help.
