Killybegs Harbour Tour
Killybegs is one of Ireland's busiest shipping ports, its harbour boasts beauty, history and amazing wildlife.
Tour Details
Experience the famous habour of Killybegs, the only bay in Ireland with two lighthouses and a live organic Salmon Fish farm.
We will perform informative & visual tours of Killybegs harbour, Ireland's largest fishing port with some of the world’s most modern & high tech Pelagic fishing vessels. Also, on occasion, luxury cruise liners visit the port & this will enable you to get an up-close experience of these truly magnificent vessels.
The warm Gulf Stream means the bay is not only a favourite of humans, but also of a vast range of marine wildlife. Dolphins and seals are frequent visitors to the bay, and you may be lucky enough to meet some of these wonderful creatures on your cruise and watch them at play.
Sailing Times
Harbour tours are offered when the weather is not suitable to go to the Sliabh Liag cliffs, and also on cruise ship days. Please check our facebook page for weather and sailing time adjustments.

Dolphins came to say hello
This is a lovely relaxed boat trip with such friendly staff onboard. We had our two children (aged 8 & 5) with us and they were delighted to get to see the dolphins which swam alongside the boat for 15min or so. You have the option to move freely around the boat, sitting inside or outside and there’s tea and coffee on sale. This trip is definitely worth the money for the stunning views, the guides description of points of interest and those amazing dolphins if you’re lucky enough to spot them! At 3 hours it might be a bit long for younger children but couldn’t fault it otherwise!
