Our destination is the base of Europe’s tallest accessible marine cliffs to witness the awe-inspiring Slieve League cliffs that ascend 1,972 feet / 601 metres above the sea level.

As we head back, view Benbulbin, the table-shaped mountain in Sligo at a distance, and towns dotting the coast of Donegal Bay.

The muster point is at the head of the breakwater on the Small Craft Harbour, but we ask that passengers kindly do not park here as the pier is very busy with new boats being built.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
