Public Transport / Bus Eireann to the Cliffs Ireland's national public transport company (Bus ?ireann) operates services from Galway City to Ennis which stops at the Cliffs of Moher en route. This is the ?local bus? which stops 18 times along the way and takes about 2.5 hours each way.

The best way to reach the Cliffs of Moher from Galway without a car is by using the Bus Éireann Route 350, which is a public bus that runs several times a day and offers a stunningly scenic route through the Burren. The journey takes approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. For a more direct and informational experience, many travelers opt for organized day tours from Galway city center (departing from Kinlay Hostel or Eyre Square). These tours typically cost between €35 and €50 and include the Cliffs of Moher entry fee, plus stops at other sights like Dunguaire Castle and Doolin village. In 2026, there is also the Route 351 Local Link which provides additional frequency between Galway and Doolin Pier. If you prefer a more "active" approach, you can take the bus to the village of Doolin and hike the Cliffs of Moher Coastal Walk, a breathtaking 8km trail that leads directly to the visitor center. There are no direct trains to the cliffs, as the nearest rail station is in Ennis, which still requires a connecting bus.
