I had no idea that bogs could be so fascinating! Sharon shared so many interesting facts and has so much knowledge - I wouldn't hesitate to repeat the experience!
This was a fabulous experience. Sharon is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the formation, development, importance, and ecology of bogs. Learned so much and also enjoyed stunning views of the mountains and Lough Swilly. Highly recommended.
Dear Diane, Thanks so much for your lovely review. We are so glad you enjoyed our Bog Safari and it was a delight to hike with you. Best wishes for the rest of your stay in Ireland and don't forget to come back to Donegal. Sharon
Sharon was the perfect guide. She shared her expertise in botany, ecology and history, helping us learn about the magic of sphagnum moss and other plants that we saw on the way. It was her deep personal connection to the bogland and her anecdotes about her own family that made the hike so special. We were very fortunate to have spectacular weather during the hike, and she gave us ample time to take our holiday snaps. The route is a pleasant mountain walk through miles of bog wilderness, which you often have entirely to yourselves. Thank you for an unforgettable afternoon, Sharon. Highly recommended to anyone who enjoys hill walking.
Dear Rob, Thanks so much for taking the time to write such a the lovely review. It is very much appreciated. It was pleasure to hike with you and Sara. Best wishes for the rest of your holiday and hopefully see you again in Inishowen. Sharon
I highly recommend taking the Bog Tour. Sharon shares wisdom, information and lore in a chatty and approachable manner. Plus you get to hike in a BOG! I was lucky to have Sharon to myself and relatively good weather. We met up with one of her neighbors out working in the big so got to see how the bog places a role in the daily lives of people still. It is a unique experience that I thoroughly enjoyed!
My husband and I recently did the Bog Safari hike with Sharon. It was a great mix of walking (in a part of Donegal we didn't know, so that was a novelty) and conversation. Sharon is really knowledgeable about the bog, giving us information about the landscape, turf, plants growing up in the area and still living nearby. We thoroughly enjoyed the hike; aided by a warm May afternoon, it was a lovely experience.
Sharon was a fantastic guide making this an extraordinary hike . I learned so much. The landscape is beautiful wild and empty, a stunning remoteness in every direction. Learning about the different mosses , sponges and lichen of the bog was amazing. In the strangest way looking and learning about the Micro -topography reminded me of diving the Great Barrier Reef ! To learn of the bogs role in sustainability and carbon sequestering was truly fascinating. We studied ancient pieces of bog oak up to 8000 years old. I can highly recommend the Bog Safari, for adults & children alike. So informative and extremely interesting. A must do on any trip to Inishowen. Thank you Sharon for a truly rewarding adventure.
Thank you for the great review. We're so happy to hear you enjoyed it and found the bog as fascinating and captivating as we do. It is an amazing and very important habitat. Thanks so much for booking with us and taking the time to leave a review.
The bog safari was the perfect blend of walk and talk. Sharon Porter has a deep knowledge and deep passion for this landscape. Her desire to care for and respect Ireland's bogs is inspiring. She is such a delight to be around and she cares about teaching others how precious this landscape is. I would highly recommend Sharon and her bog safari!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was truly a pleasure you share our little corner of Ireland with you. And thank you for hearing the story of our bogland with such interest. Enjoy the rest of your time in Ireland and don't forget to come back to Inishowen.
I spent 2 wonderful days exploring the stunning landscape of two areas in the hills of Donegal. Sharon provided an incredible personal service with well planned routes and her extensive knowledge of the terrain landscape and history of the areas. The Living Landscape hike was challenging at the start but lead to stunning scenery and wonderful displays of purple heather. The holy well of St. Eigne and the Grotto are not to be missed as also the "magic road" The Wild Atlantic Way Mountain Lake hike started at the beautiful Lenan strand and we walked a mix of mainly heather covered tracks to discover the amazing hidden lakes. The stunning Atlantic ocean views along the way were absolutely incredible A truly memorable couple of days with Sharon to whom I express my admiration and gratitude
Dear Helen, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. It was such a delight and pleasure to meet and hike with you. And I so glad you enjoyed it so much. I hope we get the chance to hike together again the next time you are in Donegal. Best regards, Sharon.
We had the most wonderful hike through the peat bogs! Sharon was informative about the area and she shared the environmental impact of the bogs. The scenery was spectacular around Buncrana. Highly recommend!
Hello from Inishowen and many thanks for the wonderful review. We are so glad you all enjoyed it. Thanks for the booking and hopefully see you again.
My wife and I spend an amazing day with Sharon, Solas Ireland Walks and Hikes, exploring the northern most point of Ireland, Malin Head. Sharon has a deep knowledge of this area and its history. We had lovely weather (not always the case) and the views of the sky, the sea, and the landscape were breathtaking. I would highly recommend spending time with Sharon walking through the Irish landscape - bogs, coast, mountains - can't think of a better way to spend the day! It was brilliant!
Laup-Lynne, Thanks so much for the great review. It was such a pleasure having you both out hiking and sharing our wonderful Wild Atlantic Way with you. It was such a fun and gorgeous day. I do hope to see you both again and have another fun day of hiking together. Best regards from Inishowen, Co. Donegal.
