Pat was a great guide telling us about the history of the cliffs and answering all questions we had a long the way. There was also a whale that was washed up which doesn’t normally happen.Full review by courtney m

Pat Sweeney totally enhanced our hike along the Cliffs of Moher. His knowledge of the history of the Cliffs, the surrounding area and the background to the trail itself is unsurpassed. The fact…Full review by Dermotla8

Online, cliffs of Maur with Pat O’Brien. I believe they leave every morning at 9am from O’Connors. You can also just show up with your $10 plus $5 for shuttle back to Doolin. Bring cash plus tip. Pat doesn’t expect a tip but proceeds go to help maintain the trail. He also has a website. Just type in his name, doolin, Ireland.
Is the walk from the tower down to Doolin an easier walk? What should we expect weather wise if visiting at the 1st of Oct.

Did this walk earlier this year and I think it's easier to go from tower to Doolin. You do not need a guide just follow the path. You can't go wrong. Weather in October is unpredictable. Shouldn't be too cold but could be very wet. Try to do the walk on a dry clear day as views are fabulous.

We did the walk with a group of about 20. Some walkers just strolled and others were in for a good walk! We didn’t do it on our own, but with Pat Sweeney who takes the walk from Doolin opposite the tourist information centre. Pat takes you past his farm and his grandfathers farm, telling of his time as a boy playing and exploring from the Cliffs. Approximately 3-4 hours to get to the visitor centre. A couple had to leave the group at the visitor centre to move on to other destinations, but if you stay with Pat, he gives you time to visit the centre and then a small bus takes you back to Doolin. We are in our late 60’s and found it quite an easy walk. Pity that the day was fogged in and so our photos weren’t great, however it is exactly what we saw on our walk. Wear practical walking shoes. You will not be sorry if you do this walk with Pat Sweeney. You can email him expressing the date you would prefer. He does this walk every day! For €10 per person, this is fantastic!!! The group was a mix of nationalities but mostly Americans. We are Aussies! Go for it!!
