خط السير
On leaving the harbour, we are met with Rotten Island lighthouse which was constructed in 1838. It is still functional & extremely important to all vessel entering & departing the port.
We can also see in the distance, St Johns Point Lighthouse, located at the end of the long peninsula, constructed in 1831 & also still functional & now used as guest accommodation which is very popular. We will then travel west along the rugged Donegal coast which shows its beauty from centuries of Atlantic storms showing their strength, firstly passing Drumanoo Head.
En route to the cliffs we will view Fintra beach with its Blue Flag credentials, that then leads us onto Muckross Head.
After Muckross Head we pass by Teelin Bay & onto Carrigan Head. Rounding Carrigan head with Napoleonic tower overhead looking down on us, the majestic Sliabh Liag cliffs start to come into view.
As we travel around we can see the “Giants Desk & Chair” & this is leading us to the highest point of the Slieve League cliffs which stand at 1,972ft/ 601mtrs, making them he highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe. While cruising close to the cliffs, you get a great chance to see the many caves & waterfalls.
On the return journey, you can see the vast openness of Donegal bay, seeing the southern Donegal towns of Ballyshannon & Bundoran, the table shaped mountain of Benbulbin in Sligo & the Mayo coast.

Fantastic trip, superb boat and guides were great

Excellent staff and stunning views. We even saw dolphins playing in the water together. The cliffs and caves are exceptional; the captain even allows for a bit of a "pit stop" so you can enjoy them and get some great photos while not moving.

Kind and attentive crew going the extra mile- everything from offering sunscreen, sharing insights about geologic processes and steering the boat so passengers could have the best view of a dolphin pod!

About Donegal
Donegal is a harbour town at the head of Donegal Bay in north-west Ireland, with a fifteenth-century castle and wild Atlantic coast around it.
Donegal town stands where the River Eske meets Donegal Bay, in the far north-west of Ireland. The Diamond, a triangular market square with an obelisk, is the centre, and Donegal Castle, a fifteenth-century O'Donnell stronghold with a seventeenth-century wing, stands beside the river. Nearby, the ruins of a Franciscan friary recall the Four Masters, who compiled Irish annals in the 1630s.
