Set sail from Killybegs Harbour in the stunning County Donegal, voted 'the coolest place on the planet, for a breathtaking cruise to the base of Europe’s highest accessible sea cliffs. The Slieve League cliffs rise an impressive straight from the Atlantic, offering a truly awe inspiring sight. As you cruise along Donegal’s rugged coastline, you’ll pass historic landmarks such as Rotten Island and St John’s Point lighthouses, as well as Drumanoo Head, Fintra Beach, and Muckross Head. The famous Giant’s Desk and Chair stand proudly in the bay, welcoming you toward the towering cliffs.
As the boat approaches Slieve League, marvel at the sheer rock faces adorned with cascading waterfalls and hidden sea caves. The cliffs, shaped by the relentless force of the Atlantic, are a dramatic masterpiece of nature. The unique perspective from the water provides an unparalleled view of this incredible natural wonder, giving you a chance to fully appreciate its grandeur. Keep your camera ready as the ever-changing light highlights the textures and shadows on the cliffs, making for truly unforgettable photo opportunities.
On the return journey, gaze across the horizon to spot the distinctive, table shaped peak of Benbulbin in Sligo and the charming coastal towns of Donegal Bay. These waters are among the richest in the world, teeming with marine life. During the summer months, lucky visitors may spot dolphins playfully leaping, porpoises gliding through the waves, or even basking sharks and tuna cruising beneath the surface. Whether you're here for the scenery, history, or wildlife, this unforgettable cruise along the Wild Atlantic Way offers something magical for everyone.

We try and get out with Paddy & the lads at Sliabh Liag Boat Trips at least once a year... It's always amazing. Love catching the 6pm trip just for the light on the cliffs and the setting sun. An extra plus if u get to see some dolphins or whales. Very convenient online booking system. & Great History lessons from Paddy Jr. Also letting the little ones steer home is always a bonus for them. They Loved it.!
We had a brilliant experience today with our captain Brian out on Sliabh Liag boat trip. Brian shared lots of local knowledge as well as some facts about wildlife in the area. We were extremely lucky today to see dolphins which was a real highlight for our young kids. Plenty of opportunities to stop and take in the magnificent views. Cannot recommend enough-to really get a feel for the sheer size of the cliffs. We definitely would love to do it again.
After several failed attempts I finally made it to the sliabh liag boat trips and I'm glad I did. Spectacular weather and scenery made this trip a delight and paddy who runs the whole operation is very friendly and actually made a point of seeking me out and thanking me for coming as it is quite a long drive for me. The cliffs are really spectacular and to see them from sea level gives a much greater perspective of how high they actually are. I will do this trip again before the end of the summer and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an informative and well organised trip.
Captain Paddy's wit and wisdom made for a great tour. The boat gets right up close to the mountain. Plenty of time for swimming. Super fair pricing.
This was an unplanned trip, very impromptu decision to take a boat tour. Ensure you book online to confirm your place on-board. I emailed Paddy and based on his booking link, there were seats available but I was prompted to book and pay online. True enough, at the appointed time slot, Paddy and his crew quickly prepared their 3 boats to take on a whole swarm of passengers and some had not paid yet, but he was able to accommodate, fortunately. Paddy was great, ensuring everyone would not be disappointed, and we were fortunate to be on his boat. He gave us a great bunch of info on history and facts about the cliffs and how he started the business. 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽. Hats off to you 🦾🦾 Our trip was subsequently hit with rain and Paddy still managed to ensure we got the most out of the trip, as we huddled in his cabin or under the shelter outside. Best highlight of our trip in Ireland. Highly recommended and have been recommending his boat tours on any platform. He really is very sincere and wants people to know about that area of his neighborhood. Do email Paddy if the weather is good to go for next 12-24 hours. He’s contactable even when out at sea, and he even responds back. ** big hint - empty your bladder before setting off or getting near the docks ;) Thanks Paddy, The couple from Singapore
