This was a great overall experience. The hiking is easy to moderate with stunning views all along the way. No tour buses and tourists, it was peaceful and relaxed and so much fun. Our guides were outstanding, Sean and Cearbhuil provided great information, engaging stories, and they were excellent hosts on our tour. I highly recommend.

This was an incredible experience! I learned so much more about the geology and the history of the area than I would have going alone. I also met nice fellow travelers with whom to share the joy of the beautiful views. When we got to the Cliffs at the end, we were lucky enough to catch someone accepting a marriage proposal with the Cliffs as the background (so sweet). Our guide was spectacular. The pace was just right.

Walking along the Cliffs of Moher

Gail_A, Sep 2026
I loved this hike, it was a great experience! The walking tour gave us unique views of the Cliffs that you don’t get from the official visitor’s center, and our tour guide, Doireann, was able to tell us so much about how the path came to be, the local history and culture of the area, the flora and fauna that we were seeing, and specific geographical features of the Cliffs. The hike was paved in some places, gravel in others, or sometimes just a well-worn path in the grass fields. It was a clear day when we hiked, tho overcast…and windy! In total it took us 3 hours for our walking tour, and I ended up logging over 15,000 steps. 😊

I would rate this hike...

Leanna_S, Aug 2026
I would rate this hike easy with a small section moderate. Beautiful views despite the fog, rain and wind. Unfortunately we did not see a lot of the cliffs due to the weather, but still a nice hike. Our guide, Becky, was really friendly and fun.

Our guide Phil with Ollie tours was fantastic! Highly recommend this hike as a way to see the cliffs and learn some of the local history. Would 100% do it again. The hike was about 4.5 miles in total.

Mark_M, Jun 2026
My family had a great time and learned a lot about the local history of the trail and landscape. The trail was a difficult terrain and was at times difficult to hike, so we were greatful for the frequent stops. Definitely recommend wearing hiking shoes and packing a backpack to carry water in, but otherwise had a lovely time.

Our guide Cearbhuil F. was fantastic! We loved this hike even in the rain! The views were beautiful! Highly recommend this tour to get a different perspective from only the visitor center.

Beautiful hike with great guide

Anne_W, Jun 2026
Beautiful walk with some mildly strenuous parts (uphill stretches). Guide was very friendly and knowlegeable and was attentive to safety.

Wowwww

Lauren_T, May 2026
Incredible views! Couldn’t believe how gorgeous this was. So much better than photos online. Wowwwww

One of our best Ireland experiences!

Ian_S, May 2026
We had an absolute cracker of a walk with Cearbhuil , albeit in winds that were hitting 50kph. Her knowledge and passion for what she does and her homeland were unparalleled and her level of attention above and beyond expectation (even to the point of Cearbhuil scaling the electric fence to retrieve my sun glasses blown off in the wind!!!)

Was a great exercise and a lot of fun. Made the experience personal and was off the beaten path. Freya was a great guide and very personable. Got amazing photos!

Phill was great and very informative. Super funny too. We got amazing views and pictures as well as history.

Beautiful Experience

Ona_H, Mar 2026
Wow!!! What an incredible experience. Simon was the best tour guide we could have asked for. He knew so much about the history and was great at telling stories! I honestly cannot imagine doing the cliffs without a guide like him. It was such a special experience for all of us.

Worth it!

We had a fantastic time hiking up to the Cliffs of Moher with Oisin. He was an amazing and knowledgeable guide, and made our day an unforgettable experience. We would definitely do again. Thanks Oisin!

Our guide was great and the views were awesome. I would do this tour again as there is some much to see.

Awesome tour with Phil!

Heather_J, Oct 2025
We really enjoyed our tour with Phil. He had a lot of history about the area to share. Which really just added so much to the experience. He was also friendly and kind making sure we were all safe. The pace was good with times for breaks and picture taking. Would highly recommend this tour!

Fantastic experience!...

Nicholas_R, Sep 2025
Fantastic experience! Funny and informative guide Declan. The small group made it feel like a personalized tour, not like they were just trying to rush you in and out of a lookout point. Multiple stops where the guide explained the view, told stories about the history or current events of the area, and gave plenty of time for pictures. Would recommend to anyone looking for a locals experience of the Cliffs of Moher!

Great walk and guide!

Oisin was a fabulous guide. Very knowledgable and friendly. Lots of good historical info and fun to chat with him as a local. Highly recommend the tour and you’ll be very happy if you get Oisin.

A must do in Ireland!

LeAnne_F, Sep 2025
Fabulous 4 mile hike along the stunning Cliffs of Moher with the very knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Simon. We all thoroughly enjoyed this adventure. Be prepared to experience wind, muddy conditions and spectacular views. This can be a challenging hike in places, and is not for young children or anyone with physical challenges. Bring your camera, but leave your white tennies behind!

Amazing Experience

Leslie_B, Sep 2025
This tour was fabulous. Simon was an awesome guide. We had beautiful weather but trail was very wet and muddy in parts. The views were spectacular and we could not have enjoyed this more. Thank you for a great experience,

Be prepared for rain, wind, and mud. Be able to climb small obstacles. Excellent narrative and friendly guide.

Choose this tour!

Heather_H, Sep 2025
This small group tour was the perfect way to experience the Cliffs! It is a 3.5 mile hike, so wear shoes that help you navigate rough/uneven terrain. We went in September and it was very wet/muddy. Sofie was an exceptional guide. Lovely personality, helpful and informative. The best! This was our favorite tour of the trip.

Enjoy Stunning Views Without the Crowds!

Shelby_M, Sep 2025
Great way to enjoy the views without the bus crowds! Phil maintained a steady pace interspersed with stops, during which he shared interesting facts and folklore. Very entertaining experience and great exercise too!

Great Hike

Tracy_M, Sep 2025
My friend and I were really looking forward to hiking the Cliffs of Moher, but when we realized part of the trail had been shut down, we decided to do a guided tour. Dean our guide was excellent and we had a great group! Great way to avoid crowds at visitor Centre.

Hike the Cliffs of Moher

Great trip. Simon was a terrific guide. The entire group gathered in the local pub following the hike. Scenery was spectacular.

Fantastic hike, guide & access into Cliffs of Moher

Melanie_D, Aug 2025
I cannot recommend Ollie's Tours, Mark - our guide - and this tour enough. It was perfect. I had looked at hiking to the Cliffs of Moher from Doolin, as I didn't want to get stuck with all the tourists at the Visitor Centre. The rub is transportation back from the Cliffs after the hike. This tour allowed us to hike a road-less-traveled to the Cliffs of Moher, great history & information from Mark about the area along the hike, VERY FEW people on the trail from Doolin & a small group (just 5 of us) to experience this trip. Ollie's Tours arranged a taxi for all of us back to the starting point, so easy, easy. The other amazing experience was their access to off-the-trail locations to get special views of the Cliffs. Highly, highly recommend. Ollie's Tours was responsive to all my upfront questions (we parked for free in Doolin) and made everything easy. It didn't hurt that it was a clear day, no wind & some of the most beautiful views EVER. 5* for the whole experience.
