Slieve League cliffs cruise. Donegal. Guided. 2 hours.

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.

southern Donegal towns of Ballyshannon & Bundoran, the table shaped mountain of Benbulbin in Sligo & the Mayo coast.

Donegal Bay is one of the richest waters in the world. There are regular sightings during the summer months of marine wildlife including dolphins, porpoises, basking sharks & tuna.
