Your experience
Stop 1
Check in at 7.30am with our friendly Paddywagon Staff at our Tourist Office located on Bridge Street. Ready for a 7.45am departure. We depart Cork and enjoy a scenic drive across the beautiful golden vale of Cork, to historic Limerick city. This city is the setting for blockbuster novel and movie Angela's Ashes, and is also the home of the Munster rugby team.
Stop 2
We will view and learn about King John's Castle and the River Shannon. We continue via County Clare to the west coast of Ireland.
Stop 3
We spend 1.5 hours at the Cliffs of Moher - one of the world's greatest natural attractions. These 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. Visitor charges at the Cliffs are included in the tour price saving you EUR 10.00. You will also receive a complimentary ticket to the award winning Atlantic Edge exhibition that examines all aspects of the mighty Cliffs of Moher.
Stop 4
We depart from the Cliffs of Moher for a stop in Doolin or Liscannor, tiny west of Ireland villages where you may wish to enjoy a delicious local lunch (optional), maybe a seafood chowder or lamb stew with a local craft beer (optional). There are options to suit all diets and tastes, including vegan. On the way we will have superb views of the Atlantic coast and the Aran Islands.

This afternoon we'll round off the day by taking a spectacular drive along the coast as far as Black Head and romantic Galway Bay. This wonderful area is known as the Burren, a lunar landscape dating back 300 million years. Sit back, take in the scenery and imagine how the locals lived on this incredible land over the centuries.
Stop 6
We stop at Bunratty Castle, for a photo stop and a chance to grab a coffee and refresh yourself. You can easily imagine Norman knights, Gaelic warriors, and jousting chieftains at this hallowed spot.
