Sliabh Liag Boat Trips
Sliabh Liag Boat Trips is a family-run business established in 1995. We have over 30 years experience in bringing people to the magnificent Sliabh Liag Cliffs, the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe standing at 600m (1972 feet).
We operate daily from April to October, subject to weather conditions. We have 4 licensed boats and a maximum capacity of 48 between them. We depart from Teelin pier every 2 hours:
10:00 12:00 14:00 16:00 18:00
Sightseeing Tours
Seeing the Sliabh Liag cliffs from the water is an unforgettable experience.
Only from a boat can you truly understand the sheer size of the towering sea cliffs. Along the way you'll see hidden features of the cliffs that you just can't see from land.
It’s a fresh, awe-inspiring perspective that lets you feel the power and beauty of Donegal’s coastline in a way that’s both peaceful and exhilarating.
Mammal Watching
During the season we see a variety of marine wildlife:
- Bottlenose and common dolphins
- Minke, humpback, fin and sometimes even orca whales
- Tuna
- Basking sharks
- Seals
- An assortment of birds
Mammal watching trips can be booked by private tour only (unless otherwise stated).
Swimming Trips
If you’re heading to Sliabh Liag, don’t miss the chance to swim in the waters below. There’s nothing else quite like a dip in the crystal clear water of the Atlantic.
Make sure to pack your swim gear along with you. We have a limited number of towels and wet suits available, so we recommend bringing your own if possible.
Evening Angling Trips
An angling trip from Teelin Harbour is the perfect way to experience everything that Donegal's coastline has to offer.
This trip is only available for the 18:00 booking slot. More details can be found on the booking page.
Private Trips
Make your visit to Sliabh Liag truly your own with a private boat booking tailored to how you want to experience these iconic cliffs. Whether you’re looking for a relaxed sightseeing tour beneath the sea cliffs, a refreshing swim in crystal-clear Atlantic waters, mammal watching, or a dedicated fishing trip.
It’s the perfect way to enjoy Sliabh Liag with friends, family, or a small group. To book a private trip, simply select 12 adults on the booking form.
Reviews
The coast is incredible. We saw nesting birds, dolphins and had amazing views with nice people.
Leaves from Teelin.
I highly recommend.
But if you want a different view of the cliffs, then the boat tour is worth going on. It's quite difficult to get the scale of the cliffs from above, but seeing it from below and seeing the cliffs tower over the boat or the dots that are people above, you'll appreciate the scale.
Reasonably priced, and using 12-person boats, so you're never fighting for a good view, if you have the time then I recommend it as well as the viewing platform.
