Private Tour: Cliffs of Moher, Galway & Connemara
Experience the Raw Beauty of the Wild Atlantic Way at Your Own Pace, Guided by Derek O’Keeffe, Ireland’s 2025 Bespoke Tour Operator of the Year.
Experience the "Savage Beauty" of the West of Ireland
Oscar Wilde famously described the West of Ireland as a “savage beauty,” and once you see it, the phrase makes perfect sense. This region is shaped by dramatic limestone landscapes, Atlantic waves, and the vibrant cultural life of Galway City. In contrast to the lush green south, the West offers a starker, more elemental beauty.
From the lunar terrain of The Burren to the quiet valleys of Connemara, this part of Ireland is best explored away from rigid schedules and busy routes. Travelling privately allows time to absorb the landscape, pause when something catches your eye, and experience the region in a way that feels natural and unhurried.
Beat the Crowds: Your Private Entry to the Cliffs of Moher
The Cliffs of Moher are Ireland's most visited natural attraction. Large tour buses arrive in waves between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, making the site crowded and difficult to navigate. With an Evergreen private tour, we play by your rules, not the bus schedule.
Derek O’Keeffe knows exactly when to arrive to avoid the peak crowds, allowing you to experience the cliffs in the peace and quiet they deserve. Furthermore, we can take you to "off the beaten path" viewing points that the large coaches simply cannot access, ensuring you get the perfect photograph and a tranquil memory without the hassle of the crowds.
Highlights of Your West Coast & Galway Private Tour
The Cliffs of Moher: Spend time walking the cliff paths and visiting O’Brien’s Tower at your own pace, with space to enjoy the views rather than navigate the crowds.
The Burren: Explore this unique limestone landscape, home to ancient dolmens, rare wildflowers, and layers of history hidden among the rocks.
Galway City: Known as the “City of the Tribes,” Galway offers colourful streets, live music, and a lively atmosphere shaped by tradition and creativity.
Connemara & Kylemore Abbey: Travel through Connemara’s open valleys to Kylemore Abbey and its Victorian Walled Garden, one of the West’s most iconic and photogenic settings.
The Sky Road: A dramatic coastal drive offering sweeping views across the Atlantic and offshore islands, weather permitting.
