Can you cliff jump the Cliffs of Moher?

Although you can't (nor would you want to) jump the deathly Cliffs of Moher just south of here, Real Adventures, Delphi Resort and Clare Island Adventures all offer highly rated trips to the jagged and sometimes tightly quartered coastline of Connemara.



Absolutely not. Attempting to cliff jump at the Cliffs of Moher is extremely dangerous and almost certainly fatal. The cliffs rise to a staggering height of 214 meters (702 feet) at their highest point, which is far beyond the survival limit for any human jumping into water. Even at lower points, the Atlantic Ocean below is characterized by jagged rocks, unpredictable swells, and powerful currents. There are no safe landing zones, and the impact from such a height would be equivalent to hitting concrete. While professional cliff divers occasionally perform controlled stunts at other locations in Ireland (like the Aran Islands), the Cliffs of Moher are strictly for sightseeing. Every year, there are tragic accidents involving people getting too close to the unstable limestone edges; as a result, visitors are required to stay behind the official safety barriers. If you are looking for adventure, stick to the designated walking trails and enjoy the breathtaking views from a safe distance.
