Atlantic Coastal Cruises

The beautiful coastal town of Killybegs has been predominantly a commercial fishing town in Donegal Bay on the Wild Atlantic Way. Its deep water harbour enables cruise ships to visit and also boasts the unique honour of two lighthouses. Just a short sail away are the Europe’s highest accesible sea cliffs at Sliabh Liag. Sail there and experience the sights and sounds of this fabulous maritime experience. And if you’re lucky, you may be joined along the way by dolphins, seals and even the occasional whale!

Passenger Feedback

We love to hear passenger feedback. Whether you were mesmerised by the huge cliffs, or wowed by a dolphin escort, do tell us. Here’s a selection of what you are saying…

The dolphins came to say hello

This is a lovely relaxed boat trip with such friendly staff onboard. We had our two children (aged 8 & 5) with us and they were delighted to get to see the dolphins which swam alongside the boat for 15min or so. You have the option to move freely around the boat, sitting inside or outside and there’s tea and coffee on sale. This trip is definitely worth the money for the stunning views, the guides description of points of interest and those amazing dolphins if you’re lucky enough to spot them! At 3 hours it might be a bit long for younger children but couldn’t fault it otherwise!

A day to remember

We went on the coastal tour, a beautiful day, fantastic views. Johnny & Patrice went to great trouble to find the phone number of a long lost friend of mine from Killybegs… amazing. On the return leg of the tour we were accompanied by about 6 dolphins weaving in and out along the stern – beautiful creatures. Lovely people, great trip, we’ll be back. Highly recommended.

Stunning Boat Trip

We went on a boat trip to the sliabh league cliffs during our visit to Donegal with the Atlantic Coast Cruise from Killybegs. The cruise staff were very friendly and the trip well organised. Ample time was given to view the cliffs in all their splender. Well worth taking the time to go and great value for money.

A great trip & a bonus to see the dolphins

A great boat trip along the scenic coast to Sliabh Liag cliffs. On the return journey we were lucky enough to see 2 separate pods of dolphins, they interacted with the boat, all the passengers had great opportunities to see the dolphins race alongside the boat. It was well organised, the staff were friendly & helpful. I plan to do it again next year & highly recommend the trip.
