Forget the viewpoint at the top. A high-speed Zodiac takes you beneath the Cliffs of Moher, where the scale of the rock face is staggering from sea level. The boat bounces across the Atlantic swell, spray in your face, engine roaring, before pulling in close to the base of the cliffs where the stone towers above you. Seabirds wheel overhead, waves crash against the rock, and the perspective from down here makes the clifftop crowds feel a world away. Fast, loud, and completely exhilarating.
