Everything you should know before you book
Ireland's most dramatic landscapes sit a few hours from Dublin, and a guided day trip handles the long drive and the timing. The Cliffs of Moher and Galway head west; the Giant's Causeway and Belfast head north into Northern Ireland; Blarney Castle and Cork go south; and Wicklow, Glendalough and Kilkenny offer mountains and monastic ruins close to the city.
Book the big-scenery trips early and choose coach or train. The Cliffs of Moher and Giant's Causeway tours are the first to sell out in summer, and full-day routes mean early starts and late returns. Train-based options to Cork, Kerry and Galway are faster and smoother than the coach if you'd rather not spend the day on a bus.
Frequently asked questions
Which day trip from Dublin is the best?
The Cliffs of Moher (with Galway) is the classic and most scenic full-day trip. The Giant's Causeway and Belfast is the top choice for Northern Ireland. Both sell on this page to compare.
Do I need a passport for the Giant's Causeway trip?
The Giant's Causeway is in Northern Ireland (UK), but there's no hard border with the Republic. Carry photo ID to be safe, though passport checks on the coach are not routine.
Coach or train day trip — which is better?
Coach tours reach more remote stops like the Cliffs of Moher; train trips to Cork, Kerry and Galway are faster and more comfortable. Choose by destination and how much road time you'll tolerate.
