Book your tickets online or pay the driver when you step on the bus (15 Euro for a one way ticket).

Tour of the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren
09.15 Depart Cappavilla Village and head for Co. Clare.
11.00 Visit the Cliffs of Moher – one of the world’s greatest natural attractions.
You will spend approx 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world's greatest natural attractions. The cliffs stand 1/3 the size of the Empire State Building and have large populations of puffins and gannets. You can enjoy a hike or a relaxed walk, while gazing in amazement at this geological and natural beauty. The Cliffs of Moher also have shops and restaurants, anything from snacks and souvenirs available in plenty.
12.30 Depart the Cliffs for Doolin, a lovely village where you may wish to enjoy a traditional Irish pub lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder with a pint of the local Doolineer pint (optional). On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.
14.00 After lunch, depart Doolin and visit one of the most unusual limestone surfaces anywhere - the Burren, a lunar landscape dating back 300 million years with unique features such as underground lakes and waterfalls. If it's the right season you may see one of the 26 different types of orchids that grow here right on beautiful Galway Bay. We take time to stroll on this rugged surface and understand how Neil Armstrong felt when he set foot on the moon in August 1969. The tour continues with a coastal drive along Galway Bay.
Return to Limerick at 17.00hrs approx with option to drop delegates in Limerick city for free evening. Delegates must make their own way back to the University of Limerick if availing of this option.
