I travelled here on a guided tour so I wasn't charged for the parking nor entrance fee, but the cliffs are beautiful. The man working at my hostel said they were, "okay." But this was unlike anything I've seen in real life (and I come from the state where the Grand Canyon is!) Maybe try going on a guided tour... More

...from the parking lot, but well worth it. The view really takes your breath away. Windy as can be there -- visited three times now, and the wind was always blowing pretty hard. Be sure to see O'Brien's Tower as well. More

It was unusually windy when we visited the Cliffs of Moher. That meant it was kind of cold, but it was still worth it. We even enjoyed the cafe and geological exhibit in the new visitor center built into the hillside. But we thought the nearby shops, more prominent than the visitor center entrance, were an unfortunate man-made addition to... More

the cliff have been there a while now. and are well worth going to look at at any time of he year. the visitors centre is very good but the pricing is too high. the best thing to do would be to enjoy a nice walk before lunch/dinner and walk up there. More

We stopped here on our 10 day All Ireland tour with Paddywagon Tours (highly recommended). Friends of ours had been here a few years ago and pictures (theirs and now ours) certainly don't capture the beauty and the height of the cliffs. We didn't walk up to the right where the tower was, so maybe the photos from there would... More

Superb views across the cliffs and the sea. We were there in summer, along with many others, but there's still a sense of the isolation to be found and the wildness of the place. There is ample parking and plenty of guidance around the paths. Some areas are more accessible than others - you can take your pick. A visit... More

We were staying in County Waterford in Ireland (near the border of Tipperary) and everyone we talked with thought it was too far a drive to see the Cliffs of Moher but I am glad we went. It took us about 3 1/2 hours of driving total. We had gone to Bunratty Castle and it was only about an hour... More

This is definitely our least favorite spot during our Ireland vacation. If you are already in the area, then maybe it’s worth it to stop by, but for us, we drove from Kenmare all the way up here to see the cliffs, and it wasn’t really worth of driving. Plus, you have to pay 6 Euro to get in, and... More

Worth stopping for a coffee because of the view. We has just seen the cliffs on a doolin2aran ferry, and personally found that a much better option. Still glad we went. More
