Overview
Take a trip to Cliffs of Moher on your Ireland Vacation
The Cliffs of Moher tower dramatically over the Atlantic Ocean, stretching for 5 mi (8 km) and reaching a height of 702 ft (213 m) at their highest point. They're one of Ireland's most popular attractions, receiving over a million visitors annually. The cliffs were formed over 320 million years ago as a result of sediments of large rivers accumulating and becoming rock solid. Layer upon layer was formed until the Cliffs of Moher arose.
Hiking is the best way to soak the wild landscape of the cliffs. You can walk part or all of the trail, starting at the Visitor Centre, which is located near the highest point of the cliffs and promises some of the best views. Doolin and Hags Head are popular walking trails. O'Brien Tower is another popular lookout point. You can climb to the top of the tower and enjoy sweeping views of the surrounding area. The weather at the Cliffs of Moher can change quickly. Check the weather forecast before your visit.

St. Patrick’s Day (March 17th) is always a great time to experience Irish culture at its most festive. And for something unique, visit during Halloween, or as we call it, Oíche Shamhna. Halloween actually originated in Ireland as a pagan festival, and many towns still celebrate with local traditions and festivals
There are plenty of castle stays in Ireland, along with many unique and memorable accommodations. You can sleep under the stars in the Finn Lough Bubble Domes in County Fermanagh, stay in a converted lighthouse, or unwind at the Ice House Hotel & Spa in Ballina, County Mayo just to name a few
Two tips for first time visitors: The weather is famously unpredictable so always pack layers and a rain jacket, no matter the season, and Ireland runs on a relaxed pace, so don’t be surprised if things are a bit slower than you're used to especially in rural areas
If you're visiting Ireland between February and September, you must experience a local hurling or Gaelic football match. It's our national sports and a true reflection of Irish passion and pride!

E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.

Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David KleinWe had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthy
