Explore the coast of Donegal with Donegal Sea Adventures
An experience not to be missed, exploring the stunning Donegal Coastline by Sea and through caves.
Donegal Sea Adventure was established to showcase the beautiful coastline and islands of the Donegal coast. We offer a boat service providing tours and access to the islands of Inis Mhic an Duirn (Rutland), Inis Cú (Inishcoo), Inis Fraoigh (Inishfree), Íochtar (Eighter), Uaigh (Owey), and Inis Caorach (Iniskeeragh).
Our boat is called Inis Fraoigh, which translates to the island of the heather as gaeilge, named after one of the many islands on this part of the coast. It is a purpose built RIB licensed to carry ten passengers. Built here in Donegal, it is a high speed vessel which operates from Burtonport Harbour. Our main tours take approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes, and we promise fascinating heritage, culture, history, and wildlife.
The tour
- A 1 hour & 40 minute experience on the wild Atlantic coast learning the history and folklore of the local area while searching for wildlife and adventure.
The route
- Departing from Burtonport Harbour, the tour takes a 15 to 20 mile route along the amazing coast. The boat will go through Rutland sound (the black hole) which was an 18th century fishing port. From there you will travel around Arranmore Island where you will be able to see the lifeboat station, the Arranmore lighthouse, sea cliffs and explore the caves. On the tour, you will also pass the sites of several shipwrecks where our skipper will tell the story of how they came to peril. During the tour we will navigate through the small islands on the lookout for seals and other marine wildlife before ending your voyage back in Burtonport.
