About this tour

Embark on a spectacular full‑day private shore excursion from Killybegs, Ireland’s busiest fishing port and the perfect gateway to Donegal’s wild Atlantic scenery. This flexible, private tour blends iconic viewpoints with authentic local stops: the towering sea cliffs of Slieve League, the winding Glengesh Pass, the craft village of Kilcar, and the heritage town of Ardara with its famed pubs and weaving tradition.

We’ll trace coastal roads with sweeping ocean views, pause at pristine beaches like Fintra and Narin & Portnoo, and—tide and conditions permitting—visit the dramatic sands and caves of Maghera. Along the way, enjoy food stops at beloved local institutions such as the Rusty Mackerel near Slieve League or Nancy’s Bar in Ardara. If timings align, you can include a visit to the whiskey distillery in Ardara for a tasting (subject to opening hours and availability).

As a private tour, the pace and stops are entirely up to you. Your driver‑guide will prioritise ship timings, scenic photo stops, and comfort breaks, making sure you’re back to the cruise terminal in good time. Expect panoramic views, rich stories, and genuine Donegal hospitality throughout the day.
