The Cliffs of Moher are one of Ireland’s most popular tourist destinations, and rightly so as they are a truly incredible sight to behold. However, you won’t properly appreciate them standing on top of them! Instead, you can head out on a cruise boat to get a true perspective of these 700ft cliffs.
