From Galway

The Galway Burren tour is the cheapest way to see both: from €55 for 8 h 15 min, rated 4.9 from 2,172 reviews. The Aillwee Cave tour takes 8 hours for €65 and adds the cave, Dunguaire Castle and a stop in Doolin. Both are on the Galway tours page with the island days.

From Dublin

The Viator Burren and Galway tour runs 12 h 30 min from €78. GetYourGuide’s Burren and Galway day runs 13 hours from $87. Both stop in the Burren and Galway city after the cliffs.

Doolin on foot

Doolin is the village at the north end of the cliff path. The farmer-led walk leaves the Doolin Inn at 10:00, follows a gravel path for about 3 h 30 min and includes a taxi back.

Part of the cliff path is closed, so read the cliff walk page before you go. For a night in the village, see where to stay, and for the ferry and cruise, the cliffs cruise page.
