Let’s cut to the chase—yes, the Cliffs of Moher are open in 2025.
If you’ve heard rumours floating around that these iconic Irish cliffs are shut down, consider this your friendly myth-busting guide. The Cliffs of Moher Experience, local guided tours with Doolin legends like Pat and Ollie, and the unforgettable Cliffs of Moher Cruise by Doolin Ferry Co are all still very much up and running. So, breathe easy and keep your vacation plans set to go!
So if the Cliffs of Moher are open, why the confusion>
It’s easy to understand where the uncertainty might come from. In 2025, there are two partial trail closures—but neither of these affect your ability to visit, enjoy, and be wowed by the Cliffs of Moher.
Here’s what you need to know:
A short 500-meter section of the northern section of the coastal trail is temporarily closed. But don’t worry, the guided walking tours have been adjusted slightly, with a modified pick-up point and a slightly shorter but equally scenic route.
The southern section of the coastal trail, which lies beyond the main visitor center, is closed for maintenance works. But here’s the thing—it has never been part of the local guided walking tours anyway!
- The Cliffs of Moher Experience and its facilities are open as normal.
