If you fly into Shannon Airport you can get a bus (a changeover is required at the station) to Lahinch, Co Clare & it takes approximately 2h and is approximately $30 each return.
If you choose to fly into Dublin Airport and wish to take public transport to the destination, you will be required to take a bus to Galway, then changeover to a second bus from those locations to Lahinch. This will be approximately $96-136 each return.
A rental car is the best option to save time. Consider grouping together as this will lower rental costs substantially. It starts at approximately $50 a day depending on the size of the vehicle that you choose.
Travel to the venue from the Lahinch Coast Hotel and back will be provided for all guests that require it.
