The lunar-like limestone plateau of The Burren offers a starkly beautiful landscape just south of Galway Bay. You’ll walk among the prehistoric Poulnabrone Dolmen and the dramatic Cliffs of Moher alongside a professional guide who helps identify the alpine and Mediterranean flora growing in the rocky crevices. Day trips might include exploring the ancient stone forts of Caherconnell or the subterranean Aillwee Cave. Some itineraries also include a stop in the musical village of Doolin for a traditional pub lunch. Choose an organized excursion if you want a structured route through this unique geological region with a local driver who handles the winding coastal roads with aplomb.
