Cliffs of Moher

Do I need  a tour of the Cliffs of Moher or can I go by myself? The reason I ask is that I've been told it is often foggy, so I don't want to commit to going, if the day isn't clear.

Hi Fran,

The Cliffs of Moher are a very popular place to visit.

There is no need to be on a tour as there is an ample car park and the visitor's centre is open all year round except for three days over Christmas!

It is possible to also walk along the cliff path to O'Brien's Tower and there is a chance to see as far as the Aran Islands on a good day. Not forgetting the chance to take a boat trip for a different view of the cliffs from the water.

Will you be in the area for many days during your time with us? What else have you on your itinerary?

Hi Fran 

Hope you are looking forward to your trip to Ireland, we provide daily tours from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher, click here for details. 
If the tour does not travel due to weather we can transfer your ticket to another day, and we recommend checking a 3 to 4 day forecast to pick your day. 
If you have any further questions you can contact me directly at jeremy@eitravelgroup.ie 
Regards

You can definitely do the Cliffs of Moher independently. We visited the Cliffs of Moher as part of a broader Dublin to Clare road trip. This has the added advantage of giving you more time for hiking (bus trips can be quite rushed). The further you go from the visitor's centre (minding any warning signs, of course), the better off you'll be in terms of losing the crowds.
