Donegal Bay Waterbus

The Pier, Donegal Town

Board this ferry-type boat, which can accommodate about 160 passengers, in Donegal Town for a cruise around Donegal Bay. Families will see Seal Island (yes, where an actual seal colony lives), the Bluestack Mountains and more. Families will learn about the history, wildlife and geography of the area during the one-hour-and-15-minute guided boat tour. On the return to the harbor, families will enjoy a sing-a-long music cabaret.

Hours

The boat sets sail three times daily, but times vary based on the tides.
