Traveling solo for 4 days in Ireland. Thinking of the following itinerary:

Day 1: arrive in Dublin at noon. Explore all day in Dublin
Day 2: day trip to Galway and Cliffs of Moher, back to Dublin by evening
Day 3: all day to explore Dublin
Day 4: day trip to Belfast & Giants Causeway, back to Dublin by evening
Day 5: 8am flight out

thoughts?

Wild rover has a good causeway trip and option of Black cab tour or Titanic tour. Check them out.

I would skip the Galway tour and do this one. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attracti...ty_Dublin.html

If you want to see some cliffs go to Howth and do the cliff walk. Take the dart train from Connolly station.

Of the day tours from Dublin you have picked 2 that I never recommend. Both involve at least 6 hours looking at nothing through a coach window. The Causeway and Belfast should be done from Belfast. The Cliffs and Burren should be done from Galway.

I agree but did do the Wild Rover tour. We really saw a lot in the amount of time and though it was a long day it was packed full and the bus trip was not that bad. We had a great guide and driver. We stopped first for coffee and bathroom and then went to Titanic musuem where you could pick museum or black cab. We did the black cab and this time I got a protestant so was different than my tour with a Catholic. He admitted some interesting things to me when I asked him pointed questions. We enjoyed that. We then hit the road for the causeway and passed some beautiful scenery stopping to view Dunluce castle. We went to the Causeway for a couple of hours and then a couple at the bridge. He stopped at several viewing spots because we could see Scotland that day. We passed through towns and I got to see a lot of the northwest 200 motorcycle route with him pointing out highlights. The oreo cows were interesting as well. We stopped for a break and were back in Dublin by 7:30 so about a 12 hour day. I did it because it was the only chance my friends were going to have to see it. One said it was the highlight of her two week trip. It was just a beautiful clear day and that made it so very special.
The trip to Galway, NEVER!!

I will say that Belfast and Giants Causeway are a lot more interesting to me than cliffs. Only reason I was thinking of Moher is because thats the #1 tourist attraction in Ireland (according to all websites). Is it not worth it? Or not worth the trip from Dublin?

Wildrover is actually the one I was looking at for both Northern Ireland and Moher/Galway

I was even considering skipping Moher and just day-tripping via train to Galway. Its only 2hrs and that gives me tons of flexibility.

Public transport and the cliffs is a very narrow option since they cut back on the bus service, even the 350 has been cut back so that there is only really one option for 2 hours at the cliffs.

Consider doing the Bray Head walk, Train down to Greystones, walk Bray head and train from Bray back to Dublin?

the other option is to forego galway/moher and do a 2 day tour to Northern Ireland from Dublin that includes Belfast, Titanic museum, causeway and other sights.

We arrive in Dublin early and take the bus to Belfast. Then do Dublin. You could explore Belfast the first day and do a tour the second, get an early bus back to Dublin for two nights.
