Excellent venue and everyone loved it , hidden gem If you don’t want to walk you can drive to another car park and the views from there are amazing. If you want to walk further you can walk on up the mountain which is well worth the effort. Plenty of photo opportunities.

There are in fact a few "Tracks" to the very top of the highest mountain in "County Donegal" where of course the view is spectacular !!???????? Even if you find the ascent a bit of a trial the trail coming down is a pleasure ????????????????????

Sliabh Liag Boat Tours

We run tours to the Sliabh Liag Cliffs, the highest sea cliffs in Europe standing 600m (1972 feet ). We operate from April to October, and sometimes earlier or later if weather is ok. With our 2 boats we can carry 24 passengers. The tour lasts about one and a half hours, and we take in many wonderful sights.Sometimes we are joined by wild life, like dolphins, whales, seals, and in May and June we often see basking sharks feeding on the plankton.Guests can go for a swim in the clear waters near Sliabh Liag we can supply wetsuits if you think the water is cold most don't need them.Some people are lucky enough to be joined by dolphins. Sailing Times 10am 12noon 2pm 4pm 6pm and 8 am/pm if needed. Although I don't answer all reviews I appreciate the feedback . I only answer reviews that I feel do not reflect the tour and will try to correct anything negative that crops up. We are a small operation and I run it to the best of my ability. So don't be upset if I don't reply. Thank you Paddy

I toured County Donegal (Highlights of the Highlands) in a group of 5, all family members. Seamus handled all our questions prior to the trip and made excellent arrangements before we arrived. We were very impressed by the B&B's chosen, the fact that they transported all our luggage from B&B to B&B, got us an eBike battery without interrupting our ride when the one we had failed due to a mechanical fault, and transported two of our riders to our next B&B when they couldn't finish the day's ride (they were only a few kilometers from the B&B). Before the trip Seamus provided an impressive set of documents, and on-bike pre-programmed GPS and distance gizmos, new water bottles, vests, helmets, and panniers. All-in-all a wonderful way to experience Ireland. Highly recommended!

Hornhead Loop

Reviewed By sflynn8 - Limerick, Ireland

Amazing views from here.It is well worth the short drive from Dunfanahy to see this natural attraction. The views in all directions are amazing. The road to the head is very narrow in places and there is not much parking when you get to the top.
