Day 2 - Malin Head - Ireland's Northernmost point

After a ferry across the lough to the Inishowen Peninsula, is Malin Head, the northernmost point of Ireland. Jutting into the restless Atlantic Ocean, it is so other-worldly that scenes from Hollywood blockbuster movies were filmed here.

Malin Head is a wild, windswept landscape peppered with ancient archaeological sites. Our hike climbs over rocky hills, across rugged headlands, and along dramatic coastal cliffs.

In the evening, relax with a local pint and an open fire.

Here, we’ll wander the cultivated castle gardens set in this romantic landscape before continuing our walk along a winding path through the Derryveagh Mountains.

Passing abandoned settlements and forlorn ruins, learn the history of what life was once like in this desolate wilderness.

The final hike is also one of the most impressive.

Later, we head into town together to enjoy a delicious farewell dinner in a local restaurant.

Day 5 - Yeats Country & Departure Day

This morning, we say goodbye to the Wild Atlantic Way coast in Donegal, and transfer to Co. Sligo, or “Yeats Country,” so nicknamed since Ireland’s national poet W.B. Yeats drew great inspiration from Sligo’s landscapes and natural beauty.

Along the way, we’ll stop at Yeats’ grave, tucked under the shadow of Sligo’s iconic mountain Ben Bulben, before your guide transfers you to Sligo town for your onward travel.
