På toppen af nordøst Donegal ligger Inishowen, Irlands største halvø. På denne Wild Atlantic Way tur, vil jeg vise dig omkring en del af halvøens 100 kilometer kystkørsel kendt som 'Inishowen 100'. På din rejse vil du se isfjorden, Lough Swilly, som inspirerede hymnen 'Amazing Grace'. Du vil lære de gamle hemmeligheder af Grianan af Aileach ring fæstning, magtsæde for chefs af Ulster. Jeg vil fortælle om tragedien med SS Laurentic og dens uudforskede guld nær Fort Dunree. Du vil rejse gennem nerveskærende Mamore Gap og udfordre fysik på 'Magic Road'. Et besøg i Doagh Hunger Village vil få dig til at gå et skridt tilbage i tiden og høre, hvordan livet plejede at være i området. Din dag kulminerer i en galakse langt, langt væk ved at nå Malin Head, Irlands nordligste punkt og filmoptagelsesstedet for Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. Turen er i en sjov, afslappet måde, med masser af vittigheder, høje historier og den mærkelige sang også!
Grianan af Aileach er en gammel sten hillfort beliggende højt over Lough Swilly, tilbyder omfattende panoramaudsigt over Donegal, Derry og Tyrone. Det var engang en kongelig fæstning for kongerne af Aileach og et stærkt symbol på det tidlige Gaelic Irland.
Buncrana er en charmerende kystby på bredden af Lough Swilly, kendt for sine naturskønne vandreture, sandstrande og afslappet atmosfære. Det er et godt sted at pause, nyde udsigten over kysten og opleve hverdagen i Inishowen. Tidligere formand for Repræsentanternes Hus, Tip O'Neill
Beliggende på den vestlige side af Inishowen halvøen, den naturskønne kørsel til Fort Dunree alene er lige så betagende som udsigten fra fortet. Historisk en kystforstærkning, Fort Dunree er nu et militært museum med mange restaurerede våben samt udstillinger om områdets fugle, marine liv og kystvegetation. (Museumindgangen er ikke inkluderet)
Mamore Gap er en stejl, smal vej langs Urris Hills. Et kigspunkt øverst tilbyder panoramaudsigt over Atlanterhavet og det omkringliggende landskab. Der er hellige relikvier, der findes, herunder en hellig brønd, der er afsat til Saint Eigne samt en 'Magic Road' eller 'Gravity Hill'.
Oplev hvordan familier og samfund har boet i de oprindelige stråtæktede huse i landdistrikterne i Irland. Den guidede tur inkluderer også en Eviction Scene, Orange Hall, Republikanske Safe House og Irish Wake House.
Udsigt over de kendte højeste klitter i Europa
Et besøg på Malin Head, Irlands nordligste punkt, er en rigtig buckret-lister. Gå, hvor de større busser ikke kan - lige til 'Banba's Crown', den nordligste spids. Oplev det unikke barske landskab, der var optagelsesstedet for den nylige 'Star Wars VIII: The Last Jedi'.
Afhentning er tilgængelig fra indkvartering i og omkring Buncrana, Letterkenny og Donegal Town. Hvis afhentning er påkrævet fra et andet sted, bedes du kontakte os for et skræddersyet tilbud.

We were lucky enough to have Henry as our guide in March 2026, and the rainy day was instantly brightened by his beaming smile when he picked us up at our accommodation. Henry gave us a wonderful day filled with wit, charm, and knowledge, and we enjoyed every moment. We also had plenty of time to ourselves at the various stops; we can highly recommend this tour in general, and Henry as a guide in particular.
Our tour with Henry remains a highlight of our trip. Henry was knowledgeable, but more importantly, he took a genuine interest in our interests and in our family’s history. As a result Henry customized our trip to give us a unique perspective on the Inishowen Peninsula. This tour is exceptional.
Hi Paul, thank you so much for the lovely review. I really enjoyed personalising the tour and sharing the Inishowen Peninsula with your family. Hope you can return soon!
If you are ever in Donegal- book with Henry & Donegal Tours! It was the most incredible experience we had in 1 day! We booked the Innishowen Tor/ Malin head Booking was easy Henry responded quickly and professionally The day before our tour he gave us our location to meet him in Donegal. He was there early His Mercedes van was clean, comfortable, packed with waters & umbrellas ( if need be) His knowledge of the area, its history & present day knowledge of the area was fantastic. My father is a huge history buff- he probably talked & asked questions to Henry all day! Henry was more than happy to answer & share everything with him! The rugged landscapes are breathtaking here! The roads are not for the faint of heart! Henry maneuvered around all the twists & turns with precise professionalism! We had wonderful weather! We saw Griaanan fort A local man gave us such insight to this area and its history We drive through the lovely town of Buncrana, Fort Dunree which was magical against the ocean The cloudy weather, a slight drizzle then a burst of sunshine made it most magical! My favorite part was our trip down to the Gap of Mamore! We stopped at the “Magic Toad” where he put the van in neutral- took his feet off the gas pedal & his hands off the wheel ! The van slowly moved up hill with the help of the Fairies!!! ( believe in the magic & folklore in Ireland) The views are simply BREATHTAKING here! Our last stop was the dough Famine village It was so interesting The guide is the owner & lived I. These thatched cottages himself - do t forget to go through the haunted room for a little spooky fun! Although we didn’t get to Malin head due to road construction up there- we cannot recommend Henry & Donegal tours enough We will definitely book with him again! Thank you Henry!’

Hi, thank you for the wonderful review! I’m glad you enjoyed the VIP experience in the Mercedes and found the historical insights valuable. It was a pleasure guiding you through County Donegal. Looking forward to our next adventure together! Safe travels!
We had a fantastic two days touring of Inishowen and Slieve Liag with Henry of Donegal Tour Guide. He was so friendly and professional. He has a wealth of knowledge as he is from the area. He provides a very personal tour and was very accommodating to our schedule and needs. Excellent communication prior to our arrival also!
Hi Shelly, thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled you enjoyed your two-day tour of Inishowen and Sliabh Liag with me/Donegal Tour Guide. It was a pleasure sharing the local history and stunning landscapes with you. I’m glad the customised itinerary worked well for your schedule, and I look forward to welcoming you all back to Donegal for more adventures soon!
We spent about 2-1/2 days with Henry just last month touring Donegal and the Inishowen Peninsula. We loved every minute of our time with him. Because of our limited time there, he personalized an itinerary for us which was fantastic. He was so personable, knowledgeable, flexible, and his transport vehicle was incredibly comfortable and immaculately maintained. We are looking forward to returning to the Inishowen Peninsula. I would not go back to Ireland without spending time there!
Thank you for your wonderful review! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed the personalised tour and your time exploring Donegal and the Inishowen Peninsula with me. It was a joy to share this beautiful part of Ireland with you. I look forward to welcoming you back for more adventures in the future. Safe travels until then!
Harry was so perfect! Wealth of information and a great conversationalist. He felt like family. Can highly recommend him for any trip.
It was my pleasure showing you around Inishowen. I'm so happy to read that I made you feel like family, I hope you get to return to Donegal again soon!
We toured 3 days with Henry and Mallin Head was our favorite day. Henry went overboard to help us with groceries, our Airbnb, and acquiring other transportation. He was a joy to learn from and spend the day with. We especially liked how he explained the Gaelic language everywhere we went.
It was great to tour you around County Donegal and my pleasure to make your stay more comfortable. Delighted to read Inishowen was your favourite part of the trip. Hopefully you can return for longer in the future!
Our trip was exceptional as Henry made our day very memorable with his knowledge of all the Inishowen Peninsula and his sence of humour. He made sure we got the most out of all our stops with no pressure on time restraints. He was our guide for the day and was the best there is. Thank you.
Thank you very much for your lovely review. I'm so pleased to have shown you around the Inishowen Peninsula and that you enjoyed your tour. Hope you return soon!
My sister and I booked with Henry for our first trip to Ireland, and it was the best decision we ever made! We spent 5 days with Henry as he took us all over the north of Ireland (County Donegal and the Inishowen Peninsula). He shared history, stories, traditions, and so many laughs. Henry made our experience unforgettable and we were sad when our time with him came to an end. We met as strangers but left as friends. He made our time here amazing and we will forever be grateful to him for that. We will be using him again on our next trip. If you book with Henry, you won't be sorry. He is truly amazing!
Hi, thank you so much for your lovely review. I'm delighted you enjoyed the tour around Northern Ireland and County Donegal. I had a great time in your company and will always remember the fun we all had together. Hoping you'll all be able to return to Ireland again sometime soon!
