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.
2. Sliabh Liag Boat Tours
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 258 reviews
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!

The An Dúlamán Disillery is an artisanal gin distillery set in the shadow of Sliabh Liag using locally foraged seaweed in its unique An Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gin. The tour is of a working craft distillery and tells the tale of the whiskey distillery to come and of the ingredients and process of making An Dúlamán, Irish Maritime Gin. Sliabh Liag Distillers have set out to reclaim the once proud distilling heritage of Donegal and relate the history, stories and culture of this Gaeltacht area and initially at least do this through the An Dúlamán Gin Distillery. The Tour sets out the three stages of the development of Sliabh Liag Distillers: 1. The development and launch of The Silkie 2. The development commissioning and launch of An Dúlamán Irish Maritime Gin 3. The building and commissioning of the Sliabh Liag Whiskey Distillery. Tours are available Mon-Sat at 12pm, 2pm and 4pm, costs €10 per person and lasts just under an hour. Booking is advised.

My family stopped in for a tour of your distillery on one on March 3, 2020. We were passing through on holiday having just had lunch in Killibegs heading to our rental in Glencolumbkille. We'd stopped at Fintra Beach. My daughter who has guided other tours to Ireland from our home, Wisconsin, USA, said seaweed like we saw that day while exploring the beach was gathered and used to make gin at your distillery. I'm a whiskey drinker and home wine maker and wasn't keen on stopping for a tour of a gin distillery. She pressed her dad and we went anyway thank the Lord and daughter Margaret. Our guide was Sean. He was marvelous and was patient with my annoying questions. He gets five stars from this old curmudgeon. Gin making is an unknown science to me, never mind Tanqueray gives me a headache. However, you've distilled in me an affection and taste for your An Dulaman. If ever I get my hands on another bottle, I'll sip to savor the pleasant memory, friendly confines of your distillery, and I'll be walking again on Fintas Beach. Thanks for the most wonderful experience which we enjoyed in time to get home before the current travel ban. Please accept my best wishes for success moving forward with your larger still. Good luck.
