Overview

Visitors that come to Ireland but that don’t experience the Northern Headlands and the Wild Atlantic Way guided by the inside knowledge of locals have largely missed out on the real jewel.

Embark and explore those secrets on the road less traveled by Private Luxury Car or Minibus chauffeured by a knowledgeable and experienced driver guide.

➡️ This chauffeured private day tour is delivered by a Fáilte Ireland accredited driver guide.

➡️ This day tour is flexible and tailored for clients on the day to stop, go and explore.

➡️ Tours commences at 9.15am and finishes at 5pm. Times are approximate and may be subject to change.

    What To Expect

    Fanad Head Lighthouse

    Enjoy a day tour of coastal and inland attractions incorporating those breathtaking views of the idyllic North West. Setting off in the morning by luxury minibus or car, your fully guided excursion will journey along Mulroy bay to the picturesque Fanad Lighthouse. A maritime marvel, this magnificent and current working lighthouse was an essential service to seafarers negotiating the wild and dangerous seas around the North West coast. We learn about the lights and aids to navigation past and present and we hear the stories of shipwrecked parrots and lost gold on the lighthouse tour.
