What TO Bring
Whether you’re taking a full-day Burren and Cliffs of Moher Tour or you choose a half-day adventure, make sure you come prepped and prepared:
Dress for All Seasons
The Irish weather is nothing if not surprising and coastal weather can change in a heartbeat! So, to make sure you stay dry, comfortable and ready for the elements – bring a waterproof jacket with a hood, wear layered clothing you can take off and on and of course good, comfortable walking shoes or hiking boots. We’ll be on uneven ground so good grip is a must.
Handy to Have
Bring a small backpack packed with spare layers of clothing, some snacks or a light lunch, and a water bottle which is essential if you’re following one of the longer walking routes. Bring a hat and gloves because it gets breezy up on The Burren, and sunscreen and sunglasses because the sun can make an entrance at any time!
Bonus Bits
For an all-round fabulous experience make sure you have your camera or smartphone ready to snap some awesome views. If you’re into flora, history, geography or geology we also recommend you bring a notebook so you can make some notes if you want, while a guidebook is also useful.
Come prepared and we’ll take it from there! From stunning landscapes and majestic cliff views to hidden Burren secrets and local history – there’s so much to see and experience. We’re looking forward to showing you around!
