Great Tour!! - The trip was wonderful. Would not have been able to see the cliffs in a way we could appreciate their grandeur. The young woman who handed out the drinks is a great employee. Really appreciated the blankets going out to the cliffs.

Very expensive to book with trip advisor.. - In their Atlantic way site the boat tour is 14 euro lesser than trip advisor site. Book direct from their site. Trip advisor told me all kids are free but they were not and I had to pay them all separate on board during boat tour. Definitely the boat tour was amazing, never miss it.

TOTALLY AMAZING - A mazing! Beautiful area that only looks better from the water! The coastline alone would be worth it, bit throw in the MASSIVE mountains ON the shore, great big dolphins cruising the area and other worldly jellies floating by and a professional friendly crew and you got all the makings of a thouroughly enjoyable expierience, hooray! LOVED IT!

Worth seeing - This guided tour was nothing I could have ever imagined. The weather was great. The bus was comfortable and cozy. The gentlemen, our tour guide, had a great sense of humor and shared so much history about the cliffs and Donegal itself. The cruise itself was clean and the staff were friendly. The cliffs and ocean were astonishing to see. There were lots of cattle and sheep on the cliffs eating the green grass. Overall, a beautiful site and a wonderful experience.

Great trip - Very interesting to see the cliffs from this angle. Don’t forget to drive the the lookout after the trip to compare the view. Make sure you dress warms. It’s surprisingly cold out on the water

Nothing exciting or interesting about these high cliffs. - We went to the cliffs by boat and were able to admire the cliffs from a considerable safety distance. We didn't take into account that the safety distance that the boat had to keep from the cliffs was so large, because that meant that even these high cliffs were very small and uninteresting. A boring trip that, in our opinion, is not really worth it.

No - This cruise was disappointing. Minimal narration, which included details about when lighthouses were built and how fast they blinked. Returned 40 minutes late after numerous circular turns which I assume were in search of whales, though no explanation was given. Cannot recommend.
