Top Tours & Activities in Donegal

At the top of Northeast Donegal is Inishowen, Ireland's largest peninsula. On this Wild Atlantic Way tour, I'll show you around part of the peninsula's 100-mile coastal drive known as the 'Inishowen 100'. On your journey, you'll see the glacial fjord, Lough Swilly, which inspired the hymn 'Amazing Grace'. You'll learn the ancient celestial secrets of Grianan of Aileach ring fort, seat of power of the chieftains of Ulster. I'll recount the tragedy of the SS Laurentic and its undiscovered gold near Fort Dunree. You'll travel through the nerve-racking Mamore Gap and defy physics on the 'Magic Road'. A visit to Doagh Famine Village will have you step back in time, hearing how life used to be in the area. Your day culminates in a galaxy far, far away by reaching Malin Head, Ireland's most Northerly point and the filming location of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. The tour is in a fun, relaxed manner, with plenty of jokes, tall tales and the odd song too!

On the long, coastal drive of South Donegal's Wild Atlantic Way stands Sliabh Liag, Europe's most accessible sea cliffs. On this tour, I will guide you along part of the county's 1200km of rugged coastline, traveling through some of the most remote villages in Ireland. On your trip you will learn about our rich maritime history at Killybegs, Ireland's premier harbour. At Muckross Head you'll gaze across the Donegal Bay towards the iconic Benbulben mountain in County Sligo, where our nation's greatest poet W. B. Yeats rests in peace. I will take you high up Bunglas, to view the spectacular Sliabh Liag (Slieve League) sea cliffs and allow for a short hike towards the top for what will leave you breathless in more ways than one. Afterwards, we'll step back in time with a visit to Glencolmcille Folk Village and learn about how life was a century or two before.

In the northwest of Ireland, at the very edge of Europe, lies the Donegal Gaeltacht—a wild and storied land where Irish traditions and the Gaeilge language still thrive.

You’ll hear personal stories, legendary myths, and a few tall tales along the way. Explore Glenveagh Castle and its dramatic past, stand in awe at the mystical Poisoned Glen, and reflect inside the haunting ruins of Dunlewey Church. Sip Irish whiskey at Crolly Distillery and journey through Donegal’s rugged highlands, where generations have cut turf from the vast Atlantic bog. Gaze out over the sea to the Gaeltacht islands, including Tory Island, where my ancestors came from, and hear the stories that have been passed down through generations.
