Cliffs of Moher: First Impression - What to Do & NOT Do!
For the 5th video in our Ireland series we’re at the country’s most visited attraction… The Cliffs of Moher! And while our time at the Cliffs of Moher was shorter than we would have preferred, the views were still absolutely breathtaking! That said, there’s definitely a lot that we would (and will) do differently, so be sure to watch till the end of the video to get our thoughts on the experience and some tips on how not to make the same mistakes that we did! We’re already looking forward to going back with 16 of you amazing people for our first ever group trip in June of 2024 and correcting our mistakes! Lol… For more info on how you can join, click here 👉🏼 tinyurl.com/2p96h9cv

We’ve been to the Cliffs twice and heading back soon. My tips: purchase tickets ahead of time on line, allow 4+ hours, bypass the museum- save it for the end if you have time, walk the trails, go towards the left trails first for most spectacle views and less crowds, wear good, protective footwear, and dress warmly or in layers. As you hike the trail it can be sunny and warm and no breeze in one area, then cold and windy and blustery a little further up. Take water! Use the restroom before you begin the hike. Enjoy!

I’m Irish and I live in Dublin. I haven’t been to the cliffs in approx 20 years and the last time I was there those barriers were not there . Believe me when you stand , or lie down, right on the edge and look down it is an experience ! At 60 now it’s unlikely I will do it again and I fully understand the safety issue, there have been a few incidents.

My wife and I love visiting Ireland. We went for the first time back in September 2017 for 2 weeks and absolutely fell in love with the country. Also Ireland is the one of I think 2 countries that require you to buy their insurance when rent a car. So just be aware about that cost, we were caught off guard about that.

If you want a beach with swimmable water go to Portmarnock resort on the coast close to Dublin airport. It's actually quite affordable. There's an authentic Irish golf course on the beach, tea time lounge with a sea view and the seaweed bath experience at the spa. For a colder water rince there's Helen's bay beach near Belfast. You can also book a sailing boat sea tour in Dublin and they get you to participate in hoisting the sails.

If you have a car, the caves in Doolin are pretty cool, especially if you get there and find the weather is not ideal for hiking or taking the boat around the cliffs or to the islands

First trip to England I reserved an automatic car. But when arrived had to settle on straight shift. Definitely double stress. Fortunately we landed in Manchester and main road was what we call interstate highway. UK secondary roads are not much wider than US one way roads.

We went to Ireland in September and the Cliffs of Moher were honestly one of our least favorite things we did lol. Pretty yes, but too touristy and we honestly thought cliffs we saw the day before along the Wild Atlantic Way further north were much more beautiful and we even had some spots all to ourselves. We also pronounced pretty much everything wrong in our videos. Haha 😂 Loved your video, thanks for sharing! -Candice, Andrew, and Riley 🐾

Sadly just a couple of weeks ago, a young American tourist climbed over that stone barrier to take a photo and fell and died. So tragic. Just before O'Brien's Tower, there are a couple of viewing points that allow for more visibility. There is a plan to enhance the visitor experience with a glass sky walk on their proposed Cliffs of Moher 2040 Strategy Plan. There is a big banner with the renderings of the plan just outside the visitor centre at the start of the walk towards the Cliffs. Enjoy your visit to the Cliff but be safe.

I'm confused. You have to buy tickets? Where is the ticket office? Looking on Google Maps all I see is a Cliffs of Moher Experience. I don't a Ticket office. Also, if/when you buy the tickets does that also get you access to walk along the cliffs on the trails? and is there a time limit you can stay? So many questions.

Yep! If you want to access through the official area, you’ll need tickets. Check out our blog where we cover a lot of this info… www.adventuresofmattandnat.com/post/cliffs-of-moher-5-things-to-know-before-you-go Thanks for watching!

I thot this video segment of Ireland was the poorest you did. If you don't know how to pronounce something, ask a local before you film. It's tiresome and lame to hear you apologize. Gaelic is difficult because it uses sounds different for letters than we do. Since you are there, honor the culture and find out. Why try to do so much in a day? If you make only a superficial visit like that castle, why bother? It means nothing to us. I do consider that you have a time and money budget. I don't get what's so special about the Moher Cliffs. Anyone who has been to the West Coast or Maine & NorthEast Coast of the US or in the mountains anywhere (Smoky Mountains sound familiar?) has seen cliffs. The ones you showed were boring brown earth tones. And they charge money and have a timed ticket for that? Ridiculous. The grounds just look like a park or ranchland. What's so special? I have enjoyed many of your videos. One suggestion I have is to make them less about you and more about the location. I would like to know more about where you are visiting and less about how you liked it. You seem to be positive about almost everything. I would like to hear some honest criticism and analysis. While I know prices change, I would like to hear what admission and food prices were when you visited. This helps to decide on the value of the places you go and to consider alternatives.
