Sliabh Liag Cliffs Tour
Experience one of Ireland's most famous coastlines, its beauty, history and wildlife
Tour Details
The vessel will travel from Killybegs Harbour out to the base of the Sliabh Liag cliffs. Straight away you will experience the individual landscape of Donegal Bay, as Killybegs Harbour uniquely has two lighthouses. At almost 600m, Sliabh Liag boasts Europe's highest accessible sea cliffs, and the best place to truly appreciate their magnificence is from the sea. You will see the Napoleonic Tower on the cliff top as we sail past numerous sea stacks and sheltered coves, caves and waterfalls, all holding their own history and secrets.
The warm Gulf Stream means the bay is not only a favourite of humans, but also of a vast range of marine wildlife. Your cruise may be lucky enough to meet a pod of dolphins and in the summer months, when they have their young, they can be quite playful and not at all intimidated by the boat.
Sailing Times
We sail every day during the summer months. Please check our facebook page for daily weather and sailing time adjustments. Harbour tours are offered when the weather is not suitable to go to the Sliabh Liag cliffs.

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!
