Welcome to the edge of Europe, where the rugged Wild Atlantic Way meets legendary Irish hospitality. This journey takes you into the heart of Ireland’s most dramatic landscapes. Wander through the moon-like limestone of the Burren, stand atop the roaring sea Cliffs of Moher, and cross the waves to the timeless shores of Inis Mór. Lace up your boots and get ready, the Atlantic is calling!
Arrive at Shannon Airport, collect your rental car (following the instructions you’ll receive before departure), and transfer to a nearby accommodation to rest up. Today’s program depends on your arrival time.
Shannon Airport (SNN) is Ireland's third-busiest airport and places you right at the starting line of Ireland's iconic Wild Atlantic Way. You’ll find car rental desks directly outside the terminal!
Built in the 1960s as Ireland's only "planned town," Shannon is modern and highly functional. Sitting right on the banks of the massive Shannon Estuary, this is the ultimate hub for exploring the rugged West of Ireland.
From Shannon to Loop Head Lighthouse, all the way up to Lahinch along the scenic coastal route!
Take a drive to Loop Head Lighthouse for the first incredible views of this trip! You can also tour the lighthouse itself by purchasing a ticket at the gate.
Break up the journey with a beach stroll and a walk down the short main road in Kilkee for some food or a drink.
Follow the scenic coastal route up to Lahinch and wrap up the day at one of the many local Irish pubs.
Today, you'll be busy exploring this fantastic, one-of-a-kind island!
Make your way to Doolin Pier and set sail for Inis Mor (Inishmore).
Pro-tips:
- buy the tickets in advance. Other trips are also available.
- you can park for free on Fisher Street and walk to the Pier (15-20 minutes).
Spend the day uncovering the breathtaking beauty of this stunning island such as the Sea Colony Viewpoint, the Seven Churches, Dun Aonghasa and the Wormhole.
Pro-tip:
- I highly recommend renting a bike as soon as you step off the ferry at the pier in Kilronan and follow the directions to start cycling the Green Route - it saves time and lets you explore the island in a whole new way.
It's time to head back to Doolin and grab the car.
Once you are back in Lahinch, enjoy a well-deserved dinner and a pint (or more 😉) in a traditional Irish pub. If you're lucky, you might even catch some live traditional music!
I'm sure you will never forget this day!
Drive towards Doolin Pier and park you car on Fisher Street. Head to the starting point of the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk (Northern Section) * and start breathing in the wild spirit of the Irish coast as the majestic cliffs unfold before you. If you're lucky, you'll catch endless views of one of the most fascinating and unique coastlines in the world!
*Important information: since part of the trail might be closed, you may need to retrace your steps and drive to the Visitor Center to access the remaining section.
Click here for up to date information on the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk.
At the Visitor Center, I recommend checking out the exhibition and enjoying the 4D show before going back to your accomodation and getting ready for the last night in County Clare.
If the whole trail is open and you don't feel like walking back until the starting point of the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk (Northern Section), you can take the shuttle bus from the Visitor Center back to Doolin. Please check the timetable in advance!
Have a blast and make the most of your final evening in Lahinch!
Enjoy a traditional Full Irish Breakfast, then head towards Shannon Airport to return your rental car and get ready for your flight home. If you have some time to spare, you could stop by Bunratty Castle or Clare Abbey along the way. Adjust the plan to fit your departure time.
Be sure to arrive at the airport at least 2/3 hours before your flight. Return the car (check if you need to fill up the tank!) and head to your gate. Have a safe flight home!
