Overview

Discover the dramatic beauty of South Donegal along the Wild Atlantic Way, home to the spectacular Sliabh Liag, among the highest and most accessible sea cliffs in Europe. This guided journey follows part of Donegal’s 1,200 km rugged coastline, passing through some of Ireland’s most remote and authentic coastal villages.

Along the way, you’ll explore Donegal’s rich maritime heritage in Killybegs, Ireland’s premier fishing harbour. At Muckross Head, take in sweeping views across Donegal Bay towards Benbulben, near the final resting place of Ireland’s greatest poet, W. B. Yeats.

The tour continues high above the Atlantic to Bunglas, where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of the Slieve League cliffs, with time for a short walk near the summit. To finish, step back in time at Glencolmcille Folk Village, offering a vivid insight into traditional Irish life from centuries past.
