    An early start, as we head out for a morning boat ride (weather permitting) to view the world-famous Cliffs of Moher. Towering over the rugged West Clare coast, the cliffs here are almost entirely vertical, with abrupt cliff edges. You can just hear the booming of the waves below, and on a clear day the views are tremendous.

    We continue on to visit the Aran Islands. This trio of cultural and historical islands represent the best of Ireland's rugged west - the last lands before you reach America.
