We took a day trip from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher. Our driver, Val O'Brien, was extremely knowledgable, and very funny. We spent most of the trip laughing at the stories he told.
We left Dublin at ~8:00 am and made our first stop around 10 for a coffee and restroom break. We then stopped at Dunghoaire Castle where we spent about 20 minutes exploring the castle grounds and taking pictures of Galway Bay. After that we went to the Baby Cliffs of Moher which were beautiful! We were warned not to get too close to the edge, as there is nothing stopping you from going 300 feet straight down. Lunch was at a nice place called Fitzpatrick's which had a lovely outdoor courtyard. As were were coming up to the Cliffs of Moher visitor's center, Val stressed that on a clear day like we had, we should skip the center and explore as much of the cliffs as possible, since we had an hour and a half. It was good advice since walking to the top of the Cliffs took a while.
Our last scheduled stop was near Bunratty Castle for some shopping and restrooms again. We made an unscheduled stop about an hour and a half later because a couple of young women needed to use the bathrooms again on the way home. Val was very understanding about the stop and didn't begrudge the extra time needed. Our return trip was otherwise uneventful and full of fun stories and great views. I would highly recommend doing another Paddywagon tour if we ever get back to Ireland.
