Arranmore Island Sea Safari and Traditional Irish Music

Embark on an exhilarating Sea Safari to discover Donegal’s rugged coastline and marine wildlife. Enjoy a traditional music session and a fresh seafood lunch on Arranmore Island, a true taste of local culture.

Rosses Sea Safari: On this tour you will witness Rutland sound (the black hole), an 18th century fishing port, Arran roads channel and calf island. You will also get to see the Arranmore lifeboat station, the Arranmore lighthouse, sea cliffs and caves. You will also pass the sites of several shipwrecks with sea stacks, the Green island, and all the channels through the small islands of the Rosses. This tour is history and wildlife and a bit of adventure as the boat will be traveling at speed for some of the tour and you will be in the most exposed parts of the Atlantic. We’ll see cliffs, caves, wildlife such as seabirds and whales and dolphins, seals, lighthouses, and explaining about wrecks and folklore. We’ll be taking a route through a lot of the islands and accessing a part of the coast that has only been seen by fishermen and seafarers until now!

Arranmore Island, or Árainn Mhór, off the coast of Donegal is the largest of Donegal’s Islands and a Wild Atlantic Way Discovery Point reached by ferry from Burtonport. The island offers long sandy beaches, lakes and stunning views from its steep cliffs as well as rock climbing, fishing, walking, bird-watching, diving and fishing. Arranmore has it all!
