Cliffs of Moher Tour from Shannon Airport to Galway

Turn your airport transfer into a coastal journey with two hours at the Cliffs

A private transfer tour from Shannon Airport to Galway that stops at the Cliffs of Moher for up to two hours, then traces the Wild Atlantic Way coastline past Doolin village, Doonagore Castle, and Dunguaire Castle. Your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall, handles your luggage, and drives a Mercedes-Benz with WiFi and bottled water on board. The route and timing are flexible based on your preferences.

The experience

You arrive at Shannon Airport and your chauffeur meets you in the arrivals hall with a sign bearing your name, then escorts you to a private Mercedes-Benz for the drive west. Instead of heading straight to Galway, the route swings toward the Cliffs of Moher, giving you up to two hours to walk the clifftop paths, watch the Atlantic break against the rock face, and see the Burren landscape roll inland. The driver waits during your stop (60 minutes of that time is complimentary), so you set the pace and decide how long to linger.

After the Cliffs, the tour traces the Wild Atlantic Way south along Galway Bay. You stop for photos at Doonagore Castle, a 16th-century tower set against the ocean, then pass through Doolin village, known for traditional Irish music and coastal pubs. The coastal drive from Doolin to Ballyvaughan and onward to Kinvara follows the limestone edge of the Burren, with sweeping bay views and small villages dotting the route. A second photo stop at Dunguaire Castle, restored and perched on the shoreline, breaks up the drive before you reach Galway City.

The vehicle carries WiFi, bottled water, and mobile device chargers. Luggage space accommodates two carry-on bags and two checked suitcases, or three medium-sized cases. The price is fixed with no hidden costs after booking, and the itinerary is flexible. You can adjust stops and timing based on what interests you. Child seats and specialized infant seats are available on request.
