There’s been a lot of talk lately, so let’s start with the most important thing first: the Cliffs of Moher are open and ready to be explored in 2026. And trust me, they are just as spectacular as ever.
At Ollie’s Tours, the Cliffs of Moher are one of my absolute favourite places to bring visitors. No matter how many times I visit, they never fail to impress. Here are my top ten reasons why the Cliffs of Moher should be firmly on your 2026 Ireland itinerary.
-
The views are simply unforgettable
Stretching for over 8km along the Wild Atlantic Way, the cliffs rise dramatically above the Atlantic Ocean. Photos don’t do them justice. This is something you need to see in person.
-
They’re different every single day
Sunshine, mist, clouds rolling in from the sea. The Cliffs of Moher change constantly, which makes every visit completely unique.
-
They’re fully open in 2026
Despite rumours you may have heard, the Cliffs remain open, accessible, and welcoming visitors. Walking routes, viewing areas, and facilities are all in place.
-
Incredible walking paths
Whether you want a gentle stroll or a longer coastal walk, there’s a route to suit everyone, with stunning views the entire way.
-
Amazing wildlife

From puffins and razorbills to soaring seabirds riding the Atlantic winds, the cliffs are alive with nature, especially in spring and early summer.
-
A photographer’s dream
Golden-hour light, crashing waves, and dramatic cliff faces make this one of the most photogenic places in Ireland.
-
Deep history and local stories
The cliffs aren’t just beautiful, they’re full of history, folklore, and stories that bring the landscape to life when explored with a local guide.
-
Fewer crowds when you know the right times
With local knowledge, it’s possible to enjoy the cliffs at quieter moments, something I focus on with the tours.
-
Perfectly paired with County Clare highlights
The Cliffs of Moher fit beautifully into a day exploring Clare. From coastal villages like Doolin, to traditional music and hidden gems along the way.
-
Because they’re an Irish must-see
For many visitors, standing at the edge of the Cliffs of Moher becomes one of the most memorable moments of their entire trip to Ireland.
